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? >
Can We Blame Ourselves for the Making of Climate Change?
In my perspective, it really depends. Yes, it is true that we are one of the main cause of climate change but so as agriculture and livestock. This is cause because of human demands on earth, such as burning of fossil fuels and the conversion of land, forestry, and agriculture. Since the beginning of these human influences on the climate change system had increased substantially. We're not the only ones creating greenhouse gas emissions into our atmosphere. Animal agriculture and meat consumption are significant contributors to climate change because producing meat (beef) requires 26x more land, 6x more fertilizers and 11x more water consumption. Fun fact, it takes 600 gallons of water to produce a one quarter hamburger. If you want to learn more about agriculture is one of the biggest contributors in climate change i recommend watching a document called, "Cowspiracy."
Our choices with animal agriculture determine how much we contribute to greenhouse emissions here.
Really good thought! This made me really think!
