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? >
Human Emissions have a change on Climate Change
Humans have and still have a big impact on climate change. Starting in the years 1850-1960, global temperatures were only 0.4 in Celsius and have now risen by 1 to 1.2 in Celsius, starting in the years 1961-1990s. Since the pre-industrial era, greenhouse gases have increased, which caused a major growth rate in human population growth rates. As a result, this has led to concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Human emissions of CO2 had a large growth of parts per million. From 340 ppm (1979) to over 400 ppm (2015-2023), this was caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Not to mention how big of an effect the atmosphere has on climate change.Stabilizing the concentrations of atmospheric needs to be able to reach the level of at least net-zero emissions.
