Is Climate Change Real & Human-Caused?

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?

People wonder if climate change is real. And people wonder who caused it. I believe that human caused climate change. The reason climate change happened is because of the the amount of oil, gas, and coal that we are burning. The burnings create an uprising of carbon dioxide concentration.

I think that it’s a bit of both, how it’s human caused and natural. Human cause effects the climate change in many ways. Some examples would be the gases produced from factories, cars and agriculture. Gases produced from factories creates warmth in the air to cause climate change. Similar to factories cars that use fossil fuels also produce gases in the air to create warmth in the atmosphere. In addition to cars and factories agricultural tools like lawnmowers, plow, etc. The natural part of climate change I think includes long term whether trends. Like there might just be a long stretch of cold whether which could last as long as centuries. Though, if I was to choose either reason I think I’m leaning towards how climate change is human caused.

I feel like climate change is definitely real and human-caused. Greenhouse gases are one of the main causes of global warming and climate change throughout the world, and we are the cause of increasing the amounts of it. Before, greenhouse gases were relatively balanced throughout the world and our atmosphere. But ever since the population and the demand for; new technology, cars that use gas, etc., we have been increasing the amount of greenhouse gases such as Methane and Carbon Dioxide. Methane is around 10 times the danger to our environment than Carbon Dioxide, and the amount of Methane that humans are producing causes a great threat that is increasing the rate of climate change. For example, Methane comes from cows when they produce and release flatulence. This greatly impacts our environment due to the high demands of beef and milk. With this demand, the population of cows must increase on farms and plantations to keep grocery stores stocked with beef and milk. Carbon Dioxide levels continue and increase day by day due to the technology we use and how much we use t hem. When you drive a car, Carbon Dioxide is being released into the air, affecting the balance of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere. If you are going to use a car for transportation, it is recommended that you carpool. This reduces the amount of Carbon Dioxide being released into the air, especially if more and more people take this action. Without these factors, the rate of climate change should decrease. If you purchase new clothes from factories from overseas, you are polluting the world even more. In factories, Carbon Dioxide is released into the air in order to make the new clothing and apparel that we feel like we require. By buying from thrift stores or reusing clothes, you are doing your part in slowing down the increasing rate of climate change. These are just some examples that support the view that climate change is real and it is definitely human-caused. We can slow down the rate of climate change, but only if we make a change and make efforts to do so by using less technology, carpooling, buying reusable material, etc.

I would say that climate change is real and man made. Because humans have made things that destroyed the environment. The earth was not polluted before humans made cars, factories and other polluting sources. Evidence of climate change are high temperatures during winter and low temperatures during summer.
