5 Ways We Distinguish Human-Induced vs Natural Climate Change | GEO GIRL
Is climate change man-made or natural? In this video, I discuss how we can tell the difference between human-induced climate change and natural climate change, specifically regarding the modern climate trend.
0:00 How do we know it’s us?
1:18 Timing is not a coincidence
2:01 Tracking how much C we burn
2:32 C isotope signatures don’t lie
