Twenty five talk about whjy climate change is happening

here are only a few issues more contentious than climate change in American political life.

But while the climate change debate rages in some quarters, in others, most notably among those who study the climate, there is wide consensus.

It’s for this reason that The Weather Channel has adopted a position on climate change that can generally be summed up as follows: we report the science, and the science consistently says climate change is real, humans are causing it, and we must prepare for its effects.

While the long-term effects of climate change are broadly agreed upon – an increase in extreme weather and changes to once-consistent weather patterns – the short-term effects can be difficult to pinpoint. “Was this particular storm caused or exacerbated by climate change?” is often unknowable.

All of the interview subjects of Climate 25 are speaking based on the fact that climate change is happening.
