Reading Passage: Evidence in Scientific Writing
Recent studies in climate science have demonstrated a significant correlation between greenhouse gas emissions and global temperature rise. Researchers collected extensive data over a decade, observing patterns that suggest a direct link between human activity and climate change. The data shows that areas with higher levels of industrial pollution also experience increased temperatures, which scientists interpret as evidence of a causal relationship. This conclusion is supported by multiple independent investigations, each employing rigorous methodologies. The statistical analysis reveals a high degree of confidence in these findings, reinforcing the consensus among climate scientists. Such evidence underscores the importance of reducing emissions to mitigate future climate risks. However, some dissenting voices argue that natural variability also plays a role, citing historical climate fluctuations before industrialisation. Despite this, the preponderance of scientific evidence indicates a strong anthropogenic influence on current climate trends.
