Question

Refer to Infographic 22.8. What is the scientific consensus regarding the cause of the recently observed changes in global climate? Based on all the data gathered and analyzed, the scientific consensus is that all of the known natural forcers combined are enough to account for the rapid climate change that is currently underway. Based on all the data gathered and analyzed, the scientific consensus is that all of the known natural forcers combined are not enough to account for the rapid climate change that is currently underway Only when both natural and anthropogenic (related to human actions) forcers are considered together do current trends in climate make sense. Both B and Care correct.

Explanation / Answer

Computer models and associated graphs indicate that the changes that has taken place with respect to climate, cannot be caused by natural factors alone. But, if we consider both natural and anthropogenic factors, then only the observed temperatures and model prediction match.

Thus correct option is (D)- both B & C are correct.
