UQx DENIAL101x 1.2.1.1 Consensus of Evidence

Several independent lines of evidence show that global warming is happening and caused by human activity, not by natural cycles. When many different types of data support the same hypothesis we call it a consensus of evidence. This lecture introduces some “human fingerprints” of warming we observe in our climate system.
