What is the general consensus on climate change?
assistant
The general consensus on climate change is that it is happening, is largely caused by human activities, and poses significant risks for the planet and human populations around the world. In particular, scientists agree that the rising temperatures and other changes in the Earth's climate system are largely caused by emissions from burning fossil fuels and the clearing of forests. As a result, experts are calling for urgent action to reduce emissions, protect and restore vulnerable ecosystems, and adapt to the changing climate.
