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?
yes climate change is real an it is really happening at this very moment humans are using alot of fossil fuels and other things that are putting more an more carbon dioxide into the air and creating more greenhouse gas
I agree that climate change is real and it is human-caused. Many people everyday don't realize how harmful the things they do to our environment is. What do you think that people could do to stop creating so much greenhouse gases?
I agree that climate change is real and it is human-caused. Many people everyday don't realize how harmful the things they do to our environment is. What do you think that people could do to stop creating so much greenhouse gases? It goes up and up each year, and rising concentrations of greenhouse gases, as the result of human activity, are by far the biggest cause.
Humans were also responsible for around 110% of observed warming (ranging from 72% to 146%), with natural factors in isolation leading to a slight cooling over the past 50 years.
Climate change is real and humans are contributing to it by releasing too much CO2 into the air. You can see the effects of this by the numerous fires in the western side of the USA. But how would you explain the sweltering temperatures millions and billions of years ago? They didn’t burn fossil fuels or coal or have large factories. Yet, their average global temperature rose to above 90°F (32.2°C) which is much higher than our current average of 60°F (15.6°C). In fact, the most boiling times on Earth occurred when humans didn’t even exist! Yes, humans could be contributing to the rising temperatures but this issue has happened before, and without the massive amounts of CO2 humans are releasing into the atmosphere. What we don’t know is if it’s humans or Earth causing this temperature change this time. Is climate change real? Yes. Is it human caused? Potentially. Although humans may only be a small part of climate change, we should still try to lower the amount of CO2 we release. After all, small changes make a big difference.
