    Climate change is a serious global issue caused primarily by human activity such as burning fossil fuels and industrialization. The greenhouse effect traps gases in the atmosphere, causing the global temperature and sea levels to rise rapidly in a short period of time. Over 95% of scientific studies conclude that climate change is human-induced based on evidence such as a substantial increase in carbon dioxide in the past 50 years. While some argue that sun activity or the size of the Earth prevent human influence, proxy records and rapid changes due to human industrialization show that humans have significantly impacted the climate. More awareness of this problem is needed since it is human-caused.

    The key takeaways are that climate change is a serious global issue caused primarily by human activity such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, leading to increased CO2 levels and global warming.

    The main causes of climate change according to the passage are the greenhouse effect trapping gases in the atmosphere and human activities like burning fossil fuels increasing CO2 levels in the atmosphere.

    The passage provides evidence that carbon dioxide levels have increased substantially in the last 50 years due to human activity, and that scientific organizations conclude climate change is human-induced based on studies of proxy climate records and sunspot activity.

    Climate Change

    Climate change is a global, growing issue that affects humanity and Earths future.

    Mankind is primarily responsible for this downfall of the Earths atmosphere. Throughout

    history, human activity has shown to cause a shift in climate at a rapid rate that's a negative

    impact. Thesis

    How Climate Change works/ Effects

    The green house effect is the process where gases are trapped in the Earths atmosphere

    causing global warming. The environment has already shown clear signs of climate change due

    to the changing in weather. Not only is the global temperature rising, but the sea levels are

    rapidly increasing in a small amount of time. Extreme weather and events are also evident factors

    for climate change. A decreased amount of snow relates back to global warming which is climate

    changes biggest conflict/factor. Effects that scientists had predicted in the past would result

    from global climate change are now occurring: loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise and

    longer, more intense heat waves (Climate.Nasa)

    Historical evidence of Human Activity being the cause

    There is a 95+ percent probability that human activity is the cause of climate change

    (Climate change). Carbon dioxide gases has increased substantially in the past 50 years due to

    human activity. Many scientific societies such as American Association for the Advancement of
    Aylsworth !2

    Science, American Chemical Society, American Geophysical Union, etc., conclude that climate

    change is human-induced (Climate.Nasa).

    Rebuttal

    While others may argue that the change in the sun is the result of climate change, there

    are too many studies to counter act that. Sunspot records. also known as proxy indicators,

    show long term information that concludes that it cant account for more than 10 percent of

    global warming in the past century (Climate Nasa). Other arguments that argue that climate

    change is not human-induced is that the Earth is simply too large to manipulate. While the Earth

    is rather large, the rapid increase of industrialization, burning of fossil fuels, and use of natural

    resources, the Earths atmosphere has been affected greatly.

    Climate change has been a growing issue all over the world. While many people relate it

    to political conflict, it is a very dangerous and serious problem. Because it is a human-induced

    problem, more people should be aware of what they are doing when contributing to global

    warming.
