I believe that climate change is real, and humans are partialy responsible. In the recent video shown in Science and the Environment class; Earth; The Biography- Atmosphere, the scientists demonstrated and detected the release of methane in permafrost in  Serbia. Since methane is 3 times stronger than carbon, and if the permafrost is melting because of global warming, then the methane release will add to the acceleration of global warming. I think that humans need to reduce the amount of carbon that is artificially produced , so the the natural balance will not be set off more than it already has. Methane is also naturally released at a normal rate in nature. If we reduce the amount of artificial carbon production,  global warming will hopefully decelerate, and the normal amount of methane release will be balanced.

I agree that climate change is real, but I'd say humans are mostly responsible for this current one. As you said, the methane release has been accelerated due to global warming, which is mainly human caused, and thus this great acceleration is human caused. Sure methane is released naturally, but its changes would be minuscule compared to that which humans have done in our lifetime. If anyone was to take the blame, it would be people, not nature in this climate change.

Climate change is partly humans fault due to the greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide that we put out from our everyday actions. Scientists say that we are the main suspect for climate change over the last 100 years and are responsible for the increased level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere . If people change their everyday actions as using less electricity by turning off lights when they leave a room or unused electronics and doing less transportation. We need to lower our greenhouse gases that causes the atmosphere to warm in an unnatural process.
  Yes, humans may be the main source for causing climate change but scientist have also considered other factors. Scientists have looked at thermodynamic principles, orbital dynamics, interactions between infrared radiation and carbon dioxide/other gases. With looking at these they saw the natural way of climate for the past four billion years and the balance of heat entering and leaving the atmosphere. To figure out the climates over the year and how climate will naturally change, scientists have done experiments that cal culate how the Earth reacts to the greenhouse gases and the Sun and looking at climate trends.

I believe climate change is real and caused by humans as well. Humans affect the climate immensely, even if we aren't the only factors that cause climate change. According to NCSE, humans use cars which results in burning gasoline. We also burn coal and other gases that are harmful to the environment. As we burn these gases CO2 is released into the atmosphere. The rise of CO2 in the environment is causing the temperature to increase.
   CO2 can also be categorized as a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases causes climate change as well. Many believe that cars burning gasoline is the main problem. However, there are other factors that should be acknowledged as well. For example, NCSE explains that landfills, farms, and cleared forests are also able to contribute to climate change since they are able to release greenhouse gases as well. As I have listed these reasons and causes for climate change, you can probably come to a conclusion that humans are the ones to be blame d for the most part.
