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 changes
Climate change is very controversial topic in today’s society. Global temperature has increased rapidly and significantly in the last 150 years. 2015 was the hottest year ever recorded. Other aspects of nature have also been changing such as the extinction of plant and animal species and storm activity.
I think human impact on the environment is the most influential toward the global temperature rising because when we burn gasoline, natural gas and coal to produce electricity and drive cars and other vehicles, we produce carbon dioxide which slowly cripples the ozone layer. My question is if animals and plants are migrating and adapting to the rising temperature how will we adapt? I personally think we should think of a cheaper renewable source of energy that can’t run out such as solar panels and wind farms. But of course everything costs something and solar and wind energy are very expensive which means we need to think of something bigger, better and more efficient.
My personal idea is a little bit like wind farms except it uses motion from the waves to create ener gy. I think if we found a way to make them it could work.
