Global Warming Is Natural, Not Man-Made

Climate change is generally a regional phenomenon and not a global one. Regionally, climate has been shown to change rapidly in the past and will co ...

The IPCC also noted that the 5 per cent cost for a warming of 4°C was “very likely” an underestimate because it excludes impacts that are difficult to quantify, such as forced migrations of populations to escape harsher climatic conditions.
