Climate scientists have showed that humans are responsible for virtually all global heating over the last 200 years. Human activities like the ones mentioned above are causing greenhouse gases that are warming the world faster than at any time in at least the last two thousand years.

This chart shows the human-made greenhouse gas emissions, taken from the IPCC AR5 report. AFOLU stands for Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use. Humans cause climate change by releasing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the air. Today, there is more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than there ever has beeninat leastthe past 2 million years. During the 20th and 21st century, the level of carbon dioxide rose by 40%. The structure is frustrating and a little confusing, and I was never fully engaged. The ending tries too hard to tie up all the loose ends. Research shows that 3.6billion people already live in areas highly susceptible to climate change. Between 2030 and 2050, climate change is expected to cause approximately 250000 additional deaths per year, from undernutrition, malaria, diarrhoea and heat stress alone.Damian Lewis and Claire Foy as King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn in BBC2’s Wolf Hall.

Visit BookSleuth Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Such shifts can be natural, due to changes in the sun’s activity or large volcanic eruptions. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.

However Janet Barron in the New Statesman and Society said "Where the novel disappoints is in its predictability. Once the stories are set in motion, the conclusions seem inevitable, and are indeed signposted throughout... The powerful writing here has been undermined".

Mantel’s comments about the Duchess of Cambridge caused unexpected controversy.
