Major Review Reinforces Human Impact on Global Climate Change

A new review in AGU's Earth's Future, led by Professor Benjamin Santer, reaffirms the overwhelming scientific evidence for human-caused global warming. Summarizing over three decades of 'climate fingerprint' research, the study uses climate change patterns to distinguish human from natural influences. It provides strong evidence that greenhouse gas emissions are driving changes across Earth's climate system, supporting the U.S. EPA's 2009 Endangerment Finding.
