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?

Human-Caused Climate Change: The Science Is Clear
I am convinced that climate change is real and largely caused by human activity. The evidence from climate scientists around the world clearly shows that global temperatures are rising, glaciers are melting, sea levels are increasing, and extreme weather events like wildfires, floods, and hurricanes are becoming more frequent and intense. One of the main reasons for this is the increase in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released by human activities – especially the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. Deforestation and industrial agriculture also add to the problem. We are already seeing the effects, and if we don't reduce emissions, the consequences will get much worse. I believe it's our responsibility to take this seriously and work together to reduce our impact. That means changing how we produce energy, how we travel, and even how we use and waste resources. We can all contribute in some way – individually and collectively – to protect the future of our planet.
