A primer for understanding climate science

Climate science and threats from climate change have been hot topics of conversation amongst the public as well as business and political leaders. And despite the fact that more than 90 percent of climate scientists attribute the majority of global mean temperature increase over the last few decades to human activity and warn that continued warming poses risks for mankind, doubt and misconceptions remain pervasive. This ultimately hampers efforts to improve the scientific field around climate and to develop effective solutions and policies to mitigate risks.
