Document Summary

Some authors believe that an alliance between science and religion is a key aspect to resolving the climate change problem. We wants science and religion to come together in his book " the creation" Nevertheless, before we can discuss the moral motivations for a solution, effectively, we need to know what the problem is. Hence we shall begin the science of climate change. The earth is currently getting warmer, and we humans are largely responsible for this. The wrong answer: by consulting our own memories of perceived temperature. This is a profoundly limited and unreliable method for discovering global temperature average. Another wrong answer: by consulting politicians, actors or religious specialists. The right answer: defer to climate scientists, a community of experts (but selection affects still exists -- but is in all things) Need careful collection and collation of myriad statistics from around the world and theoretical research to find the best ex planation.
