Sažetak
Climate changes and global warming are the facts. Still, when interpreting these facts there is a dilemma as to whether the cause is human action (greenhouse gas emissions), as claimed by 97% of published relevant scientific papers or whether it is a natural process of alternating between ice ages and interglacial periods. CO2 is not a major greenhouse gas, but high concentrations of CO2 in the air (400 ppm) are higher than the historical average (280 ppm), and man participates in the carbon cycle with 3.4-3.8% of the total CO2 emitted (26-29 gigatons of 750 gigatons in total). Proponents of anthropogenic global warming point to a significant increase in CO2 emissions into the atmosphere and an increase in global mean temperature by 0.74 ± 0.18 ºC over the last 100 years. Sceptics, on the other hand, point to historical periods with higher temperature fluctuations, and faster warming than in modern times, with equally high CO2 levels. The philosophy of science seeks to evaluate these two points of view through philosophical and scientific methodology.
