Major scientific organizations support this consensus (e.g., Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, National Academy of Sciences Committee on the Science of Climate Change, American Association for the Advancement of Science, and multiple National Academy of Sciences around the world). While the science literature agrees with this consensus and effects are being felt globally, the public remains confused about whether an authentic debate exists in the scientific community (Brechin and Bhandari 2011; Danny L.
