A claim that humans have caused less than 0.05 of global warming is FALSE.
This social media user tweeted that climate change is a hoax and shared a screenshot of a story which claims humans had caused less than 0.05 of global warming.
However, the consensus is that humans have caused nearly all of the observed recent global warming.
PesaCheck has previously shown that data from a variety of international research organisations found an average net increase of more than 1 in the 2020s compared to earlier periods.
Most of the hottest years on record have been in the 2020s. The record-breaking heatwave in the Northern Hemisphere would be “virtually impossible” without climate change.
Researchers at Oxford University’s Environmental Change Institute (ECI) have shown that human-induced warming constitutes almost all observed warming and tracks with greenhouse gas emissions which cause climate change.
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change found that human activity was responsible for nearly all of global warming. Greenhouse gas emissions caused more than the observed net warming. Some human activity, such as the emissions of aerosols and natural factors, caused a slight cooling.
“Human activities, principally through emissions of greenhouse gases, have unequivocally caused global warming,” the IPCC said in its latest report.
The fourth United States’ national climate assessment report found human action responsible for between 93–123 per cent of the...
