Which of the following is NOT true about climate change?
a. Today’s climatic warming particularly the warming since the mid-20th century is occurring much faster than ever before and cannot be explained by natural causes alone.
b. Humans more specifically, the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions we generate are the leading cause of the earth’s rapidly changing climate.
