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?

What exactly do humans do to contribute to climate change
Climate change is defined as a long term shift in global climate caused by human activity. This definition proves the fact that climate change is human caused. This still does not explain if it is real or not. A trend since the start of burning fossil fuels during the 1800s shows a drop in global temperatures. The drop in climate is directly related to human activity such as burning fossil fuels. According to NASA, “The current warming trend is different because it is clearly the result of human activities since the mid-1800s, and is proceeding at a rate not seen over many recent millennia.” another quote that also proves the correlation between burning fossil fuels and climate change from clientearth.org, “The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has found that emissions from fossil fuels are the dominant cause of global warming. In 2018, 89% of global CO2 emissions came from fossil fuels and industry.” This shows the correlation between climate change and burning of fossil fuels by proving that fossil fuels releases the most greenhouse gases. Those greenhouse gasses are what cause the change in the global climate.
