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? >
Is Climate change real and Human Caused
The concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) has increased during the past century as a result of the burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil. This is due to the fact that CO2 is created when burning coal or oil by fusing carbon in the air with oxygen. It is proven that the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations is human-caused by the clearance of land for agriculture, industry, and other activities. A study shows that a group came to the conclusion that there is a greater than 95% chance that greenhouse gases are produced by humans, for example carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. According to Caltech, humans are mostly responsible for the observed rise in Earth's temperature during the past 50 years!
