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? >
How have humans impacted the climate?
Climate change has always been a things. It’s an ever changing battle that always been going on. But how has it changed since humans have stepped foot here on our earth? Humans are the main cause of the rise in fossil fuels. We are the ones making mass amounts of products in plastic and metal. The manufacturing of all of these products is creating greenhouse gasses that are going up to our atmosphere. When we burn things and manufacture them and then the gases are being emitted to our world causing the greenhouse effect. So i would say yes climate change is more human caused than what change was happening in our climate before. So yes climate change is real and we are the main cause. So we need to start eliminating these gasses fast before it’s too late.
Do you believe climate change is caused by human activity? Human activity can be a great factor in climate change.“ Activities such as agriculture, road construction, and deforestation can change the reflectivity of the earth's surface, leading to local warming or cooling.” This quote states that human activity can cause harm to the environment.“ When fossil fuels are burned, they release large amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the air. Greenhouse gasses trap heat in our atmosphere, causing global warming.” The quote shares how burning of fossil fuels affects the whole world in a bad way. There are multiple ways we can change this. This includes keeping fossil fuels in the ground, reducing plastic, and improving farming and encouraging vegan diets. Fossil fuels have the biggest impact on climate change. Some effective ways to make a difference for our environment would be switching from driving a car every day, to riding a bike or walking. We are willing to take the information about climate change that we now know and apply it to our everyday lives, are you?
