Abstract

Global warming has been the subject of debate across public and scientific forums, with disparate ideas and conclusions deduced from both communities. The question is whether it is a scientific fact, myth, or hoax. For consistency, global warming is a term used to refer to an increase in the earth’s surface, and air temperatures averaged across different places around the globe over a pre-specified period (IPCC, 2018). The different perspectives have created confusion and diluted the concentration of efforts by governments and private organizations. Despite the continued controversy on global warming to be a hoax, it is a scientific fact proved, and human activities have had the most significant impact on the increase in global temperatures over the last 30 years.
