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?

How does Climate Change relate to humans?
Climate change is caused by gases in the atmosphere called greenhouse gases. These gases have been in our atmosphere way longer than humans have been around and are only now becoming a problem. Since the industrial revolution, humans have been putting an excess of certain greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This causes global warming by changing the effectiveness of the atmosphere trapping and expelling heat from the sun. This is what is causing the increase in global temperature.
