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
Although some say that climate change is fake and a lie, it isn't and every day that we don't work to stop it, our earth gets worse. Gisele Bundchen said “One thing leads to the other. Deforestation leads to climate change, which leads to ecosystem losses, which negatively impacts our livelihoods – it’s a vicious cycle.” We continue to hurt our earth by doing things like burning fossil fuels, in fact climate.gov did a study and concluded that Earth's temperature has risen by an average of 0.14° Fahrenheit (0.08° Celsius) per decade since 1880 and it will only get worse. Glaciers are melting, oceans are warming and things will only become more difficult unless we work to fight climate change.
