Climate agenda

Climate change is any long-term change in global or local climate systems. The term climate change can refer to both Global Warming and Ice Age. Scientific consensus has determined that the global climate is warming as a result of increased carbon emissions since the Industrial Revolution. Climate scientists also agree that the Earth's climate experiences natural periods of warming and cooling, however, in the past 200 years, the Earth has experienced warming at an accelerated rate that was caused as a direct consequence of human activities.

Earth receives almost all of its energy from the sun, which provides the Earth with heat. Earth also gives off energy to outer space. When the amount of incoming energy is greater than the amount of outgoing energy, Earth experiences global warming. When the amount of incoming energy is less than the amount of outgoing energy, the Earth cools.

Climate change has many effects on the Environment, like desertification, and change in average temperature, sea-level, number of temperature anomalies.

Changes in greenhouse gas compositions are the most common contributors to both recent climate change and some prior climate change events, like the Permian Extinction.

Since the late 1970s, oil companies have published research broadly in line with the standard views on global warming. Despite this, oil companies organized a climate change denial campaign to disseminate public disinformation for several decades, a strategy that has been compared to the organized denial of the hazards of tobacco smoking by the tobacco industry.
