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?

How History has impacted rising Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
According to Nasa and the Keeling scale, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere followed an upward trend since 1850 with a substantial spike in the 1950s. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration explains that this trajectory was caused by major deforestation that began in the 1850s, and there was a huge increase in the amount of fossil fuels, coal for making electricity and steel, and the use of cars. Around 85% of consumed fossil fuels followed after the start of the industrial revolution. The keeling scale also shows the steady curve that has been present for hundreds of years before the 1850’s. Before the upward trajectory the CO2 concentration did not surpass 300 ppm, in the twenty-first century the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has surpassed 400 ppm. History shows how the industrial revolution caused an uprising that keeps on growing, so as humans advance into a more modern society the more CO2 is in the atmosphere.
