Myths and Truths: Climate Change
Heat waves, intense storms, and prolonged droughts are just a few of the effects of climate change that already impact the environment and human life. While some of these phenomena may have natural causes, such as variations in the solar cycle, human actions, such as deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels, have accelerated these
changes since the 19th century.
According to the UN, it is still possible to reduce the effects of these transformations, but this requires collaboration between the public, private and civil society sectors, and for this to happen, it is essential that everyone is well informed about the topic.
Below are ten myths and truths about climate change.
Climate change isn't real.
Myth. Climate change is proven by scientific studies and historical data. The increase in temperatures, extreme weather events and changes in ecosystems are some of the evidence pointed out by globally recognized bodies, such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),

The transformations in the climate are linked to the concentration of greenhouse gases.
Truth. Climate change is directly associated with the concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as carbon dioxide and methane. These substances trap heat in the atmosphere, intensifying global warming. Human activities, such as deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels, are primarily responsible for this growing concentration
