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 a reoccurring discussion in society specifically in the government. One major question is if climate change was actually caused by humans and if it is real. Although temperature fluctuation from the could be a cause of the climate change, the number of fossil fuels, coal, and carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere suggests that this is a long term effect created by humans. Climate change is real because the warming temperature is currently effecting different landscapes such as ice caps.
I agree that climate change has been caused by humans. Because humans have made factories which can lead to carbon dioxide being emitted into the air which can cause climate change. According to the website, climatenasa.gov "The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 1.62 degrees Fahrenheit (0.9 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century, a change driven largely by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions into the atmosphere" This quote shows how the temperature of the Earth has increased drastically since the industrial revolution.
