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 is Real and Caused by Humans
Climate change is very real and it is caused by humans. Our activities result in the heating of the Earth by the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Activities such as burning fossil fuels, agricultural processes, and cutting down forests result in the increase of greenhouse gases, such as carbon and methane. Climate change can be shown through the changing weather patterns, the melting ice caps (sea level rise), and the ocean acidification. The effectiveness and speed of climate change rely on our emissions. Humans still have a chance to redeem our mistakes and prevent any more damage to our home. Our future existence, as well as other organisms, rely on our ability to limit our emissions and spread the truth of climate change.
