It isn’t. The earth heats and cools periodically.

There is no such thing as "analysis" by the United Nations. If it comes from the United Nations, it should be considered suspect.

We need to replant our rain forests! I've thought for decades that the Amazon rain forest was vital to our planet's health. That and cutting the world's population of humans by half and keeping it at that level.

Yes, but according to scientists it is humans causing the climate catastrophe in progress.

Not proven. The science is not settled.

When you show me the peer-reviewed research showing it’s unsettled I’ll believe you.

Peer reviewed, you mean paid for by the AGW religion.

All scientific research is peer-reviewed. Is science a religion for you?

I agree that the Amazon forest is important, but in regards to climate change the huge northern forest is even more important.

The boreal forest holds an incredible amount of carbon locked up in its soil, peatland, permafrost and vegetation.... Together, carbon storage and sequestration make a healthy boreal forest critical for a stable climate. Protecting the Great Northern Forest and its wildlife is vital for stopping climate change. https://greatnorthernforest.org/int/...-a-global-view
I have no idea how the earth's human population can be cut in half...I was born in 1940 and the population at that time was 2.3 billion... Today it stands at .. World Population Clock: 7.6 Billion People (2018) - Worldometers

Peer review, like minded people agreeing on the same garbage whether it’s right or wrong.
