Climate change, a phenomenon put to the test by scientific debate
Authors
Dr. Youssouf Guindo
Abstract
The warming of the climate system is
unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes have been
unprecedented for decades, even centuries or millennia. Consequently, the lives
and livelihoods of especially vulnerable populations around the world are
constantly threatened by this phenomenon. However, other voices are speaking
out to the contrary. The objective of this work is to analyze the controversy
over climate change by comparing the points of view of different currents. To
conduct this research, the methodology used is based on documentary research.
Indeed, we consulted documents on climate change in several documentation
centers and libraries. Then, we compared the authors' points of view on this
phenomenon. The authors are divided into three currents: climate alarmism,
climate skepticism, and climate realism. The results of this research show that
there is no scientific consensus on climate change. There is a divergence on
the causes, consequences, and even the existence of this phenomenon. Indeed, climate
alarmists defend anthropogenic climate change and warn of the immediate and
future dangers it poses. Climate skeptics, on the other hand, question the
significance or severity of climate change and its anthropogenic origin. The
third group, climate realists, has a centrist perspective and advocates caution
to avoid erroneous conclusions drawn from climate change studies.
