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
Climate change is very real and although is is something that would happen eventually, humans are causing the process to speed up. It’s a proven correlation between fossil fuel use/burning and rising temperatures, dying species, and ocean acidification (plus more). On top of that, since fossil fuel use has skyrocketed because it is a popular and sort of easy way to power a plant, factory, building etc. the damage has been even more than what is could have been or stayed at several decades ago. This is totally human-induced, unfortunately some people are in denial and refuse to admit it or even acknowledge it. In the USA there is a large group of people who don’t believe in climate, they say its a “hoax”, these people also listen to whatever the people they look up to say, so one could call them brainwashed. This is a serious issue that needs to be taken seriously.
I 100% agree. I think that another interesting occurrence that further proved this point is everything that happened in the wake of COVID-19. Because of the initial quarantines and global shut-down of transportation that is still happening in many places today, the air quality in multiple cities began to improve rapidly. It severely reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and water around the world began to be cleaner. The correlation between less greenhouse gas production and cleaner air and water is no coincidence. While COVID-19 may have affected climate change in a negative way, it also prominently affected it in a positive way, and hopefull people that think it is a “hoax” will begin to open their eyes and see the correlation that is exposed through COVID-19.
I agree.
