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? >
Climate change is real
While climate change does occur multiple ways that do not involve humans, we do significantly accelerate it. In moderation things would not so drastically change, but because we humans refuse to change our ways, the Earth is heating up at an uncontrollable rate. Greenhouse gases are naturally emitted into the atmosphere from decaying organisms and waste. Humans are taking advantage of the Earth and are emitting more greenhouse gases than the Earth can handle. This is deteriorating the ozone layer, leading to overheating and harmful UV rays entering the atmosphere. With the temperatures rising and conditions worsening, humans are digging themselves into a bigger and bigger hole that soon we will not be able to get ourselves out of. Humans must accept that we are the cause of the Earth's slow death. If we do not change this soon, the Earth will not survive much longer.
