Global Warming is Real: Fact Check Confirms
“Is global warming real?”
Summary
The Earth's climate is warming at an unprecedented rate, and this warming is well‑documented by satellite observations, surface temperature records, and independent paleoclimate proxies. Scientific assessments conclude that human activities are the primary driver of this trend, and the consensus among climate scientists affirms that global warming is occurring.

Editor—The apocalyptic tone that Smith adopted in relation to the environment bears little relation to reality.1 In his editorial Smith asserts, “virtually all scientists agree that global warming is happening.” Global warming is now joining the list of “what everyone knows.”

The current warming is therefore unusual when viewed from the millennial perspective provided by multiple lines of proxy evidence and the 160-year record of direct temperature measurements. Despite all this evidence, plus the well-documented continual increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas ...

- Independent Evidence Confirms Global Warming in Instrument Record | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) formerly known as National Climatic Data Center (NCDC)
“Using only temperature-sensitive paleoclimate proxy records, un-calibrated to instrument data, it is possible to conclude that the warming trend in the global surface temperature record is supported by independent evidence,” said David Anderson, head of the Paleoclimatology Branch at NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center and lead author of the paper.

Put simply, climate change denial is the dismissal of human-caused climate change and its effects on the environment. This is often in spite of the wealth of evidence and recent climate disasters that prove its existence.
