Is Climate Change Real & Human-Caused?

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 and Human Caused?

Climate change is undeniably real, even if one does not believe it is caused solely by humans, humans most definitely contribute to climate change. Ocean acidification, extreme weather, and the shrinking of arctic sea ice are just a few of the issues that have started ramping up since the industrial revolution. There is a clear trend of rising CO2 emissions caused by the burning of fossil fuels and animal agriculture that have caused climate change to move at a more rapid pace

We are a hundred percent responsible for climate change. If you look back you can tell that the levels of CO2 and heat climbed much higher than ever before at the start of the industrial revolution. This is because we started using fossil fuels like coal to power our new fancy machines. From then it's just continued getting worse. We have caused the fate of our planet if we don't stop now. Humans are most definitely the cause of such a change in climate over the past 100 years or so.

Climate change is happening and is increasing fast. Humans have contributed about more than 95% to climate change. Looking at a larger picture, could we potentially be on the edge of the 6th mass extinction? Could humans be the reason the carbon levels are where they are at? Thinking about this is hard to imagine but it may be the truth. We have evolved from many generations, but when will it be the last?

Ummmmm... yeah

Climate change is undeniably real and human caused. If you look at graphs of heat and carbon dioxide levels before and after the Industrial Age you can see a huge spike. This could be caused by other factors but in reality there’s no denying it was caused at least in some part by humans. The start of the Industrial Age and for many many years, people only used coal and fossil fuels to power machines, and that is one of the main polluters. Although now people have begun to realize that burning fossil fuels is bad, and humanity has begun to steer away from it, there’s no denying that the many, many years of burning fossil fuels had a huge effect and it will take a lot of effort to try to slow down climate change.

Yes, climate change is real, and us humans are causing it. We are at a point where we have to make a change fast, whether we like it or not. The only question is, how can we achieve this? How can we slow down climate change to a point where we don’t have to be worried anymore. There are endless reasons about what we could do to reduce our carbon footprints, which play a role in climate change. We could move towards electric cars, and we could find a way to make large amounts of electricity without burning fossil fuels. We could also move towards better ways of heating houses so that not as much oil is used in the process. We could install more solar panels as a way to heat houses without burning too much greenhouse gasses. These are just a few of the many, many things that we need to start thinking about doing so that we can try to slow down what is happening.

Yes, climate change is caused by humans. If you look at graphs of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, they have been rising steadily and significantly since the industrial revolution, when the use of fossil fuels became widespread. Also, we know how much carbon we are releasing into the atmosphere, so how could all of that greenhouse gas not produce an earth warming effect.

At this point, there is so much scientific evidence pointing to the fact the climate change is undeniably real, and nearing a point of being irreversible. We as humans release 11 Billion tons of Carbon emissions into our atmosphere, causing the greenhouse. Slowly heating our planet with many devastating effects. We should start taking steps both as individuals and as a people to stop this.

Miles123456789

Yes, because humans are eating lots of meat and we are polluting the world so much by traveling and pumping gas into our cars everyday and traveling and working all day. 11 Billion tons of carbon emissions into out atmosphere and that slowly heats our planet with a lot of effects and they are all devastating.
