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 caused by humans
yes, I think humans are the cause of climate change. Before the industrial revolution, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was low but during the industrial revolution the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rose up a lot and the climate started to change and get warmer. Humans did actions such as burning fossil fuels, and deforestation which warmed the earth at a higher rate. Agriculture also creates a big impact on climate change. for every second that passes, about 1 football field of forest is cut down for agriculture. most of the crops are grown for animal feed. Animal agriculture is one of the leading causes of climate change. The demand for animal products is high, they have to raise a lot of animals. The animals eat and drink a lot, and they produce a lot of methane which is 80x more harmful than carbon dioxide.
