Read the following text about climate change.

The problem with climate change

In general, scientists agree that climate change is happening. However, the point that they disagree on is the speed at which it is happening. For example, Professor Jenkins and Dr Brody at Colombia University think that we are entering a period of rapid climate change, whereas some climatologists from UCLA are of the opinion that the speed of climate change is likely to peak by 2020 and then slow down for the remainder of the 21st century as emissions from developing nations stabilize. The fact that each group of scientists has a different opinion is difficult for people to comprehend and has an effect on the general public's reactions to changes in the law related to climate change. Both governments and scientists have tried to make the information on climate change accessible to everyone but because of its complexity, this has not been possible.
