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?

EPA and Oil Refineries
"The U.S. oil refineries are still allowed to dump massive amounts of toxic chemicals and heavy metals into lakes and rivers, environmental groups are urging a federal court to order more stringent regulation of some of the nation's biggest polluters". =https://phys.org/news/2023-04-environm … ution.html.These polluters are able to do these things legally because of the profit that's being made off the metals. The legal action comes three months after the nonprofit Environmental Integrity Project found some of the worst polluters are in the Chicago area. People know what's polluting the earth and who is doing it be more people are needed to protest the problem by not investing into not using metals and oil. During 2021 alone 81 refineries in the United States that treat waste on-site released 1.6 billion pounds of chlorides, sulfates and other dissolved solids harmful to fish and other aquatic life, the group determined in its review of federal data.
