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?
Is Climate Change Real & Human-Caused? >
Climate change is real & humans are a big contribute to it
Humans are the main cause of climate change. Burning fossil fuels, releasing chemicals into the atmosphere, reducing the amount of forest cover, the rapid expansion of farming are changing the balance of climate system. If humans stop these certain habits, the environment could come to a change and the greenhouse effect could decrease if humans contributed to help which we all should.
I agree, many humans do many of these things on a daily basis and most of them don't even know. It's sad because many people could decrease their impact by doing simple things, like not using their car, limiting the amount of electricity they use, and not using or buying a lot of plastic or chemical filled products. Maybe the government could incourage or even enforce some type of climate action that improves this; then maybe more people will realize and try to improve their own impact.
