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?

Evidence for climate change is all around us
When I was younger and I first heard about climate change, or global warming as it was called, I thought that no matter how bad it got I would be fine because where I lived was cold. Those were the thoughts of a very young child. Climate change has already caused major change in weather patterns that have caused increases in hurricanes and other natural disasters that have killed many, but it continues to grow. Since we started burning fossil fuels on a large scale, the global temperature has risen by over 1 degrees Celsius uncharacteristically fast. This has caused disruption in ecosystems around the world, and it continues to grow worse. The data on the website "Our World In Data" has an interactive article about these issues, if someone looks at the data provided there and still does not believe this spike in climate change is human caused, I believe they should be considered irrational. I believe we need to put the question of should we take action to stop it, and focus on stopping or at least slowing climate change before it causes any more lasting damage to our world.
