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?

What role do humans play in the event of climate change?
Scientists have suggested that the earth has gone though 5 major ice ages in the past millions of years. It is also proved that we're in the middle of an ice age. However, we are currently experiencing a rise in temperature globally. The difference between the previous ice ages and this one is the presence of human beings. It seems obviously that humans' activities have a lot to do with the anomonies of the global climatic pattern.
That may be right but over the years of Earth there has warm ups and cool downs in the world. I'm not saying that humans aren't increasing the temperature of the earth, i'm saying that humans probably have a role in as well as that we are going through a warm up stage. Climate.gov Stated that "the earth experiences ice ages and warm up periods over the past 10,000 years"https://www.climate.gov/news-features/climate-qa/hasnt-earth-warmed-and-cooled-naturally-throughout-history
