Is Climate Change Real & Human-Caused?

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 100% real and its effects are becoming more and more severe due to human activity. Climate change itself isn’t entirely caused by humans, since change in the climate also exists as a natural change, however it's undeniable that ever since the 1800s and the Industrial Revolution, human activity has caused climate change to develop more and more severe effects, such as weather changes, rising sea levels, and extinction in certain organisms.

climate change is very real!
in the mountains, the temperatures are very hight and have caused a lot demanges.
we can see them!
the glaciers are mealting and this is a real problem for our economy because i live in a ski resort and the snow is less as well as tourists.
the hot temperatures have caused forest fire too; our woods are important for the habitat, we cannot afford other mistakes.

Climate change is definitely real, and its happening right now!  Things like burning fossil fuels, is heating up the earth and causing climate change to occur. Humans are the main cause of climate change and we are now facing the effects of our selfish actions. More extreme weather is occurring, ice is melting, temperatures are rising, more wildfires are happening, and this is because of us. We do have the chance to turn things around but we must act fast.

Climate change is real and is happening everyday. Humans are a very big cause of the warming on earth through the activities we do and emissions. The global surface temperature was mainly increased because of human activity. 95-100% of the warming on earth was caused because of the humans. Other things that also change the climate is greenhouse gases and sometimes volcanic eruptions. Many things are happening in our world currently such as temperatures rising and sea levels rising.

Yes, climate change is real and human caused. The evidence of human caused climate change includes rising global temperatures, melting glaciers and ice sheets, rising sea levels, and more frequent and severe weather events like heat waves, droughts, and floods. These changes have been observed across the globe and are consistent with the predictions of climate models. According to the extremely credible Cornell.edu they state, "More than 99.9% of studies agree: Humans caused climate change." Additionally Devdiscourse.com states,"Enhanced detectability occurs because the mid to upper stratosphere has a large cooling signal from human-caused CO2 increases, small noise levels of natural internal variability, and differing signal and noise patterns," These quotes back my assertions that, yes, climate change is human caused.

Climate change is very real and is affecting our everyday lives right now. Humans are actually the main contributor to climate change according to climate.gov. The main contributors to climate change are generation of power, deforestation, transportation, and consuming foods. These are all due to humans. According to climate.eu 2011-2020 was the warmest decade recorded, with global average temperature reaching 1.1°C above pre-industrial levels in 2019. Human-induced global warming is presently increasing at a rate of 0.2°C per decade. So you may be asking, how can we counter and defeat climate change? We as a human race need to start walking and biking more. This helps cut down on emitting gas. Reuse more. This means that there is less factories working which in turn means less burning. Lastly, we can plant more trees in order for the plants to take in that CO2. In conclusion, climate change is real, and is very human caused. Climate change has been getting worse every decade, and if we don't do anything soon, there will be major consequences.

Climate change is real and it is human caused. Human inventions are really bad for the atmoshpere by putting chemicals into the air such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and others. Inventions that emit these substances are modes of transportation and the burning of fossil fuels. Burning of fossil fuels is the main source of this.

Climate change is real and has been caused by the human race. Overconsumption and overproduction have led to so many greenhouse gasses adding to our atmosphere, causing the earth to get hot and things like the polar ice caps to melt. Some examples of things that cause this are purchasing and transportation such as cars, motorcycles, planes, and more. These are all concepts and inventions that were created by us and not any animal or natural form of the environment. According to KCRA news, a combination of temperature measurements and data has shown that 2022 was the 5th hottest year on earth. The average temperature was 53.37. This is a huge increase since years before 2000, thanks to new technology and product increase.

Yes, Climate change is no myth and humans play a huge role. According to the official website of the European Commission 2011-2020 was the warmest decade recorded, with global average temperature reaching 1.1°C above pre-industrial levels in 2019. Human-induced global warming is presently increasing at a rate of 0.2°C per decade. This is due to deforestation, The burning of Fossil Fuels, and the over-farming of livestock. Furthermore Humans are increasing the greenhouse effect very rapidly by continuing to pump oil while knowing its effects. Humans are at the point where we have to decide if we want to create capital or save the earth and time is indeed running out.

AMBrose BOD i don't know why it doesn't say this because i put BOD at the end of my name in the log in
