{{cquote|Renewables becoming mainstream: What effective and economically efficient policies should the EU and its Member States prioritise in order to accelerate the integration of renewable electricity, heating and transport?"}}
The climate of the planet we call home is changing. The climate has been changing ever since the earth formed. However, this period of climate change is different. Due to the fact that humans have been burning fossil fuels at a rapid rate, the levels of, amongst other pollutants, CO2 has increased drastically since the industrial revolution. A large majority (around 97%) of climate scientists agree that global warming is due to human actions. There is a small minority of politicians and other public figures who deny climate change, some going so far as to say climate change is not occurring at all.
