Science is built on proof, not just believing something’s true. Each experiment shows us facts that belief alone can’t match.

When it comes to important questions, it’s crucial to be skeptical of any single source of information. No one piece of data should be accepted without checking what others say on the same topic. By comparing facts from different sources, we can spot inconsistencies and get a clearer, more accurate picture. It’s only when we look at the evidence from multiple angles that we can reach a well-supported conclusion.
World Meteoroloogical Organisation - World Climate Research Program

WCRP

The World Climate Research Programme is an international initiative bringing together scientists and institutions to deepen our understanding of Earth’s climate system. It fosters collaboration across disciplines and nations, aims to improve climate predictions, identify impacts of environmental change, and support effective responses.

NASA

NASA plays a key role in studying climate change by collecting and analysing data about the Earth’s systems through a variety of satellites and ground-based projects. These observations help scientists monitor temperature trends, sea-level rise, ice cover, cloud formation, and other indicators of a changing climate.

CSIRO

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) is Australia’s national science agency and plays a pivotal role in climate research. CSIRO scientists collect and analyse data on various aspects of the climate, including atmospheric conditions, oceanic processes, and biodiversity.

CERN

The European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN - Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire) is primarily dedicated to physics research. However it also contributes to climate research in several key ways. Better understanding of the laws of physics will always contribute to how climate systems behave.
