climate change happened before humans, but we make it worse

I agree with this statement. Obviously the climate of the earth has been increasing. However, it has been increasing a lot faster compared to before people. People do a lot of things to increase the climate, such as, cars, industries, etc. It is important for people to start changing their lifestyles and considering the climate rising.

There isa really important distinction between natural climate change and human induced climate change for sure. In a book that I've been reading for my climate change class, the distinction has been described as "cold to cool" climate change vs. "cool to hot" climate change. This makes me think of the slow carbon cycle. While fossil fuels would make their way out of the ground eventually through erupting volcanoes and add carbon to the atmosphere, it is human action that speeds that process up. When we deliberately dig up fossil fuels for energy that would have taken hundreds of years to resurface, we are adding so much more carbon to the atmosphere than would naturally find its way back out of the atmosphere, messing up the careful balance that the slow carbon cycle set up by itself. The difference between natural climate change and human induced climate change is that when the climate changes naturally, even if the atmosphere is heating up, it knows how to self regulate. When we get involved, we upset the balances. This site: https://www.noaa.gov/education/resource … atmosphere. is also very telling on how human intervention affects how much carbon we're putting into oceans, also affecting the slow carbon cycle. Our effects are massively hearting the environment and the creatures that live both on land in the ocean.
