For the past few decades, scientists have been taking measurements to establish a relationship between current carbon levels and temperatures. According to the reported measurements, rising greenhouse gas emissions— resulting from the use of fossil fuels as well as industrial activities—lead to higher temperatures. Global warming has been on the rise with a spike in 1998 after which temperatures were lower but still warmer than previous decades that led some skeptics to claim that the world is cooling. Since 1998, global temperatures have risen at a slower pace than they did in the previous 30 years, and skeptics have seized this as evidence that global warming has paused.
