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!
According to Nasa, Earth's climate has always changed, however in today's age, the climate is rapidly increasing. The climate is increasing because of lots of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. We humans emit lots of greenhouse gases and tons of fossil fuels and because we emit so much of it, it is starting to heat the whole plant. A group of 1,300 independent scientists from all over the world under the authority of the United Nations concluded that in the last 150 years, carbon dioxide parts went up from 280 million to 412 million. This important because if the temperature goes too high up, the ice will melt which wipes out all the wildlife living there. Because of all of the excess water, many places will flood or even be consumed by the water. The ocean will be too hot for many organisms, wiping them out as well. Plus, since the water is so hot, it will start to expand, raising the sea level even more. This is why climate change is real and why it is important to fix it.
