The number one reason of climate change on earth are the fluctuations in the sun's activity. You can determine that by observing also climate change on other planets of the solar system.
For me the causes of the climate change is people dont know how to use proper dispposal of garbages and they abuse the surroundings just to get their needs like cutting trees , burning plastics and of course dynamiting seas which causes corals to damage and destroy .

Human activities that nothing to do to help and care for the climate effect. Such as pollution, deforestation, building a buildings, killing of the animals, water contamination. The pollution and deforestation have a big impact that cause to climate change. No wander today the climate change always affect time by time.

Earth is not prepared for all the damage and changes we do to be able to 'live', we move too fast for earth to adjust and adapt therefore climate changes

Pollution is one of the major cause of climate change. When we do harm to our planet like we dump garbages on wrong places, use harmful chemicals, we alter the current state of nature and no surprise, it cause unexpected things to happen.

the number of vehicles that increased dramatically, and the construction of new plants on a large scale are also the main causes of climate change

Sorry, but climate change was happening before humans ever existed. If what you really want is to debate how humans have affected the rate of change, that's fine, but stop being intellectually disingenuous with your semantics.

By 2018 they will have no choice but to tell you the truth. Climate change is partially caused by humans destroying the planet. But, the most horrifying cause of climate change is the shifting of the magnetic poles accompanied by a shifting of the earth's rotation and a tilt on the polar axis. There's no amount of carbon tax that will fix what is a normal cycle for the rock we live on.

Climate change IS REAL...BUT ONLY A PORTION of it is caused by human influence! Climate change has been happening through natural means for millenia. Doesn't mean we can continue treating Mother Nature like our own toxic dump.

Actually climate change is not only caused by human activities, but also naturally occurring. The difference is that the change caused by human activities is 100x to 1000x faster than the natural occurrence. It used to take a million or so years to have the climate change as much as what humans "accomplished" in less than a hundred years.

i'm going to assume we are speaking of man made climate change, not natural cycles. i don't think there is any "one" reason and if i had to chose one it would simply be the word "people" while you can argue the impact of this or that activity the sheer amount of carbon we are putting into the atmosphere isn't a good thing. on a small scale you can walk into a city, temp is often 5+deg/f higher than 20 miles outside the city. you have all these heat sources in the city. more people = more cities and more consumption. i don't think anyone really knows what the increased levels of pollution are going to do exactly it's just getting to be pretty obvious that it isn't good. the other white elephant in the room is crude oil. there is only so much left. we know where it comes from. we know how it formed. it's finite. while there are renewables and we can recycle many materials there is absolutely nothing in the works which could provide the same number of BTU's indefinitely as we get from crude. world has a lot of coal and thorium reactors could be quite possible but it's all finite. all of it. society can not continue this growth trajectory forever. my personal theory is those in power know it and it's why entire continents like africa have been intentionally kept poor. just looking at today we simply do not have the resources for every person on the plant to have the same energy usage as the average westerner. even countries like saudi use words like "medium term" when discussing oil in the future.

the number cause of climate change i think is the lack of discipline of people. because if they have discipline they will not do anything wrong to destroy the environment like burning of garbage that causes pollution then therefore causes climate change.

The only constant... is change.
True.
That's true about life. And it's true about the climate. The climate has been constantly changing since the earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago.

For example, in just the past 2000 years, we have seen the Roman Warm Period, when it was warmer than today...Then came the cooler Dark Ages... Followed by the Medieval Warm period, when it was at least as warm as today... Then we had the Little Ice Age -- that drove the Vikings out of Greenland. And, most recently, a gradual 300-year warming to the present day. That's a lot of changes. And, of course, not one of them was caused by humans.
Also all mostly true, right up until that little bit at the end... One of them was caused by humans. The warming that we have been experiencing since 1850.

During the past 400,000 years there have been four major periods of glaciation -- meaning that vast sheets of ice covered a good part of the globe -- interrupted by brief interglacial periods. We are in one of those periods right now. This is all part of the Pleistocene Ice Age which began in earnest two and a half million years ago. It's still going on, which means that we are still living in an ice age. That's the reason there's so much ice at the poles. Thirty million years ago the earth had no ice on it at all.
Yes the cycle of glacial advance and retreat happens over very long time periods. But we are well out of the Pleistocene, we were in the Holocene, which was the interglacial period which followed the Pleistocene and started roughly 11,700 years ago. However, we are now actually in the Anthropocene, which is an epoch defined by humanity's impact on it. We are living in the era in which us, humans, are the most significant actor on all planetary systems.
So, then, what about carbon dioxide, the great villain of the Global Warming alarmists? Where does that fit in to this picture? Not as neatly as you might think.

Temperatures and carbon dioxide levels do not show a strong correlation. In fact, over very long time spans -- periods of hundreds of millions of years -- they are often completely out of sync with each other.
No. The very concept of global warming was proposed in 1896 by Svante Arrhenius after he noted that carbon dioxide played a very significant role in climatic warming. This theory was proved in the 1940's when infared spectroscopy was invented and showed there was a direct correlation between CO2 (and other greenhouse gases) and the amount of heat that is trapped by the atmosphere.
This fact isn't even disputed by other climate denialists...
Over and over again, within virtually any time frame, we find the climate changing -- for reasons we do not fully understand. But we do know there are many more factors in play than simply the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere -- factors such as the shape and size of the earth's elliptical orbit around the sun, activity from the sun, and the amount of wobble or tilt in the earth's axis, among many others. Even the relatively short 300-year period from the peak of the Little Ice Age to the present has not been steady. The latest trend has been a warming one, but it began nearly a century before there were significant carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels. And, there has been no significant warming trend in the 21st century. Contrary to media headlines, the trend over the past couple of decades has been essentially flat.
The climate changes for a whole host of reasons yes. We have a pretty good idea of what changed the climate over very long time periods in the past, as you say, changes in sun output, amount of absorption of CO2 and other gases by vegetation and the oceans, the earth is a dynamic system and there are so many feedback loops that send it one way or another for a multitude of reasons. But the warming trend seen in this century has been the fastest and most rapid rise of temperature at any time in the history we have observed. Not only is it unobserved in the last 900,000 years we have records for but the correlation is almost exactly mirrored by the amount of CO2 which we have been dumping into the atmosphere.
Humans are the main cause. This is undisputed by over 97% of the scientific community.
Do your research my man Smiley

All I know is because of human irresponsibility why climate change is getting worse than before.

They said it's because of global warming or humans but I do believe that climates are suppose to be like that. Maybe in some point, we contribute that affected it but in the past centuries, there are already devastating natural calamities that have happened without pollution.

I think climate change, also called global warming, refers to the rise in average surface temperatures on Earth.Other human activities, such as agriculture and deforestation, also contribute to the proliferation of greenhouse gases that cause climate change.
Give me the importance of your opinion.

Greediness of mankind is the main cause of climate change. Those factory owners who want to get richer and richer but disregard the sake of the environment, smokers and vehicles that produces dirty smoke, those who burn and cut the forests trees , garbages everywhere, these are some of the causes of climate change which were done by us.

Climate change is caused by us. We, people, abused our mother nature. We keep on getting more than enough of what we need. We prioritize industrialization, building factories, business buildings and others and neglect our nature. Human activities like defirestation, converting forest lands or agricultural lands to factories and others.

The number one cause of climate change is Self-Discipline. Because of lack of self discipline we continue to do bad things in our environment.

Greed is more like it. Greed for power, money and sovereignity clouds people's minds to disregard the effects of their actions. Its selfish really if you think about it but that's what's going to start the end for us
