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 change and Human Cause
I definitely believe that climate change is human caused. The average co2 levels in the world are about 420 ppm. This is double of what it was 100 years ago at 200 ppm. In this time period, we have destroyed our Earth in such a way that in about 100 years our resources like water and food might be gone. We need to take climate change very seriously because in a few year we may not even have it. A way to fix this deep rooted problem would be to install and build more renewable energy sources like wind, solar, or hydroelectric energy. That way we can provide energy without polluting the atmosphere. Another solution to climate change would be to cut down on foods such as red meat from cows. This is because cows themselves produce allot of methane (which is another very harmful greenhouse gas). Cows produce 70 and 120 kg of Methane per year, from just their poop and digestion. This amount of Methane is dangerous to our ongoing problem of Greenhouse gasses. This is our problem because without such high demand of red meat processing we wouldn't have such a big cow problem with methane. Climate change may be happening fast but we can all work together to change the world for our generation and for the next generations to come.
I agree with this because climate change is a problem and needs to be dealt with. In 100 years, the earth might be mostly under water. I think these are all good ideas but before we can implement them we have to convince all of the people that don't believe in climate change to start believing. We won't be able to accomplish anything with only a portion of the country/ world on board. We need to convince all of the politicians and people in power that this is a real and pressing problem.
