The ISCFC is all about reducing our individual and collective contributions to climate change.
But is climate change really happening? Is it mostly caused by human activity, including our production of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases?
In the United States and elsewhere, there are people who are not convinced by the science. But the great thing about science is that we use evidence to evaluate scientific questions. So what is the evidence related to climate change?
Are you or are you not convinced by the majority of climate scientists who say that climate change is real and largely human caused? Why are you convinced/not convinced? What evidence might change your mind one way or the other?

Human Contribution to Climate Change
The evidence supporting the existence of climate change is astounding. The facts are so abundant and supported by so many scientists that it’s almost impossible to believe that people try to disprove it. One of the clearest examples of climate change is the melting of arctic glaciers. Ice caps and high elevation glaciers are deteriorating so quickly that the sea level has risen about 8-9 inches since 1880. There also has been consistent measuring of ice glacier temperatures for the past 160 years which plainly detail the direct temperature increase. Human’s emissions of greenhouse gasses have caused global carbon dioxide to continue to accelerate.
