What is it about?

It's about the two school of thought regarding the global warming and climate change. This study attempts to investigate the urgency of global warming and climate change by analyzing the available data from the secondary sources. The method employed was a document analysis of secondary sources by examining the available literature. The study showed there are two school of thought, when it comes to the urgency of the global warming and climate change, one favoring the motion that global warming is real phenomenon and it is caused by anthropogenic activities, while other is against the motion and suggests that the global warming and climate change is a complex phenomenon and prediction of the future climate is far from precision, owing to different players involved, which climate specialist themselves knows little or none. Upon scheming through the documents and data, study infers that there is certain uncertainty about the future of the climate, because climate always changes and it cannot be certainly affirmed that the climate change is man-made (anthropogenic activities) or due to natural occurrence, but however it is evident that the global surface temperature, borehole temperature, sea surface temperature, and the sea level is increasing over the years and study suggests that for the humanity to be certain about their future, treating the global warming and climate change as an act of urgency and working towards prevention and mitigation by limiting the production of greenhouse gases and mindfully consuming the natural resources would be the plausible solution for the larger problem of Global Warming and Climate Change.

Why is it important?

It discusses on the evidences of global warming and climate change.
