© Oxford University Press 2009 Part 7 Global warming─Are humans responsible? Quit Is global warming fact or fiction? Some people argue that global warming issue is only a fiction. Note: 0°C is the average temperature from 1961 to 1990 Global average temperature from 160,000 years to present Source: Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research, the Met Office of the United Kingdom The present air temperature is still lower than the peak 130,000 years ago. The rise of air temperatures in the past 30 years could just be part of a long-term fluctuation.

© Oxford University Press 2009 Part 7 Global warming─Are humans responsible? Quit Is global warming fact or fiction? Some people still doubt global warming since fairly accurate data on air temperatures goes back only about 100 years. With only limited climatic data in the old days, it is difficult to ascertain whether the recent rise in air temperatures is not part of a ‘normal’ temperature fluctuation.
