The evidence for climate change
This activity helps learners investigate the scientific evidence showing that human activity is the main cause of recent climate change. Drawing on IPCC data, students examine natural and human drivers of climate variation, explore how climate models work, and interpret long-term temperature trends. Through analysis and discussion, they evaluate how different lines of evidence combine to demonstrate humanity’s impact on the planet.
