The broad term “Climate Change” holds merit; Climate change has always occurred, true.
In my observation (of weather patterns personally experienced) by comparison to younger years (several decades back), there seems to be greater extremes and less predictable patterns occurring.
“Global Warming” seems to be one side of the overall extremes happening, but only one. There are extreme cold anomalies occurring as well, extreme drought, floods, etc…
But nevertheless, studies and articles on warming patterns persist.
Weather has irrefutably shifted from the time of my earlier years — that much is unarguable (for me), because I’ve lived consciously aware /observant of the differences firsthand… it’s irrefutable. But exactly what, who, and to what extent is responsible (humans, nature, both) can be and is strongly debated.
I just recently happened to see the following new headline: “The last 7 years have been the warmest on record as planet approaches critical threshold”
The info in it was cited as being from something known as the “Copernicus Climate Change Service”
Their site describes the following:
“C3S is one of six thematic information services provided by the Copernicus Earth Observation Programme of the European Union. Copernicus is an operational programme building on existing research infrastructures and knowledge available in Europe and elsewhere. C3S relies on climate research carried out within the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and responds to user requirements defined by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS). C3S provides an important resource to the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS).”
