The scientific consensus is that climate change is real, it is happening now, and the primary cause is the atmospheric accumulation of greenhouse gases.

This Is Climate Change uses a dual approach to inform and influence public opinion; the placement of posters in airports and other high visibility locations to show climate change in action, and the website to provide more detailed information. Climate Change is accelerating and its impacts on the environment are visible worldwide. This Is Climate Change documents these impacts and presents a convincing picture of a changing earth.
