Natural vs Human Caused Climate Change

  My introduction will be an explanation of " What is Climate Change".  My thesis statement will be "Climate Change is human caused".  My body will have these elements: First off  the rate of warming is unprecedented and has never happened before because it's so steep it gives us or plants and wildlife little time to adapt, as natural changes that have happened this similarly quickly but less quickly have coincided with mass extinction events.  The amount of greenhouse gases has always been a factor in the climate too. (Skeptical Science Climate Change Little Ice Age Medieval Warm Period). Second the human fingerprints and Greenhouse Gas fingerprints of Climate Change through atmospheric signatures. Third the CO2 comes from humans because of radiocarbon and isotopes. Third volcanoes eruptions have not increased and neither has the sun's warmth. Fourth the consensus on human caused climate change. Viewpoint of someone saying that Climate Change is natural and why that is wrong. Then I will do my conclusion.

Skeptical Science: A website that is a really good citation for my project because of disputes global warming myths by a myth vs facts basis very well.  This article says that greenhouse gases have always been a factor in the Earth’s climate.  And the climate has changed before, but rarely this fast, and when it does change this fast it is always destructive. (Cook, 2015).
