  Hi Rebecca…..good question, as I am an environmental scientist this is a question we ask ourselves in my profession all the time.
  
  According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC), yes it is happening. However, the IPCC have been criticised in the past for only looking at climate change data over a relatively short period of time when compared to the life of this planet.
  
  Some climate change scientists argue that this planet has been going through some form of cyclical climate change for it’s entire life and therefore what the IPCC is looking at is only a snapshot in the life of this planet. If you look at much older data, they say that what we are currently experiencing is normal but our human impact has speeded up the process significantly than would have been predicted.
  
  Right……so in summary, there are 2 opinions but the IPCC is currently holding greater influence in the political circles. However, both could be right and personally, there is probably an element of truth in both theories I have described to you.
  
  My advice is, to read around the subject as widely as you can and then form your own opinion! 🙂
