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
Climate change is real because it happens from burning fossil fuels which are effective in our atmosphere. Fossil fuels are caused by us humans when we drive cars, leave lights on for a long time, having a fire and much more. The way we can reduce fossil fuels is to carpool, take public transportation, turn off lights when your not in the room and much more. Climate change is caused by humans because we are the ones who created oil, gases, coal and much more. Our advances in technology were very effective but it is also harmful. When we use fossil fuels we increase the concentration of the atmosphere into carbon dioxide. The consequences of changing the natural atmospheric greenhouse gases are the weather, water, and the whole atmosphere can become warmer. The warm atmosphere can make icebergs melt which can put animals in danger. Climate change is very effective and can bring our world down. I used all of this knowledge from my previous learnings and I thought about climate change and the affects of climate change.
