Climate change, also called global warming, refers to the rise in average surface temperatures on Earth. An overwhelming scientific consensus maintains that climate change is due primarily to the human use of fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the air.

No, the mankind, its kind of to economize and to live. How the mankind used the nature, does not treat the earth's resources carefully enough, and does wasting the earth's resources. Does produce waste on a gigantic scale, recycled and reducing of the volume take place in far too small degree.
Good day

Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.

Climate change is a terrible problem, and it absolutely needs to be solved. It deserves to be a huge priority.
--- Bill Gates
I dont think so. The human being is the main factor for ruin of the Earth.
Dear Prosenjit,
Yes, the climate change is here and we are getting warmer by the year. Here in Australia we are breaking heat records pretty much all the time. For example many towns in Queensland yesterday recorded hottest June day since the recordings started about 150 years. 2015 was hotter than 2014 and 2016 is hotter than 2015 etc...We are loosing our coral reefs and the beaches are being claimed by storms and waves. We are having a milder and milder winters. Today I saw a peach tree already flowering in June, an event that usually takes place in August.
There are many sceptics saying that this is just natural oscillation, but personally I do not believe them. I think the changes in climate are primarily due to excessive and dirty human activities to generate profits for big powerful corporations who are able to employ their own scientists and even make their own favourable research. Obviously at this rate within an 100 years time the world most likely will still be here but the living conditions will be un-recognizeably very different.
Regardless we currently have a BIG problem and what can be done about it is the most important challenge of our lives. Are we going to leave a Hell to the future generations in the name of economic prosperity for a minority? And when are we going to say enough is enough and elect/form governments that will make a sustainable future for everyone #1 priority.
Best wishes, Refik
Yes, a large part of climate Change is man made. One example which is not so popular: about 2 mrd combustion engines world wide produce about a warming energy due to bad efficiency of about only 25 to 30 % which is equivalent the energy production of 1000 middle large atomic reactors.

Of course, no doubt. Our consumption exacerbated by our ambition to have everything and better or equal than the rest, it has us in this way.
