Abstract

Climate change is a significant issue that has sparked considerable concern, discussion, and agitation among scholars, scientists, environmentalists, non-governmental and governmental organisations, and diverse social activists worldwide. The issue leaves so many traces of doubts, agitations, deniers, misconceptions, overexaggerations, politics, divisions, threats, fierce arguments, and socioeconomic coercion, which eventually mislead or cause an uproar of misrepresentations that drift the entire global society, academic community, and public from the basic science of climate and various weather phenomena. Unfortunately, climate science and climate change faced overrepresentation. However, they are real, and the science behind them is more pragmatic and visible; the threats they pose to our environments and humanity are highly devastating and left with living proofs in terms of wildfires, droughts, desertification, hurricanes, floods, torrential rainfalls, global warming, avalanches, and rising sea levels. Thus, we need evidence-based facts rooted in the principles and methodologies of science to understand and provide lasting solutions to mitigate the threats they pose. These issues provide the basic foundation and drive for the current study, which explicitly and critically analyses climate responsibility, proof of the greenhouse effect, evidence of a climate change conspiracy, the sufficiency and practicality of the evidence, simulations and climate phenomena, and the contentious bases of the IPCC empirical studies. The study methodology is well chosen qualitatively, considering previous related studies and citations that address the objectives of our proposed research questions. It further clarified all doubts about climate change among agitators, activists, deniers, and conspirators, which in turn recommends that there should be more room for scientific explanation, open and unbiased debate among all public representatives without any political affiliation or belief, the media should promote objectivity, and the academic community must promote empirical thinking with scientific proofs.
