The statement is true, as multiple studies and scientific models project that greenhouse gas emissions will continue to cause significant warming of the Earth's surface and atmosphere, leading to changes in weather patterns, rising sea levels, and other climate impacts. This level of change is anticipated to be greater than any natural variability experienced since the height of the last ice age around 18,000 years ago.
