Climate concerns

“How will the availability of drinking water change as the climate changes?”
“How long can we sustain this amount of fossil fuel energy and have a livable climate?”
“Are the humans affecting the climate or is it just natural? Or a combination of both?”
“What will the long term effects of climate change be?”
“Are humans to blame for the drastic changes in the climate?”
“What will people in the future think about our society today?”
“Who is to "blame" those who created climate issues, or those stood by?”

So, how climate change works is we have earth, and then we have the atmosphere which is a big bubble around earth, this atmosphere is being filled with CO2 released from burning fossil fuels such as gasoline and coal, and with the massive amounts that we are burning we are actually altering the climate of the world. But maybe we can fix this right? Well, not really, we can cut back on the gasses and fumes, shrinking the amount of smog, but the mass of CO2 output is irreversible, or at least it is for over a thousand years, according to Susan Solomon, a top climate scientist. But no, humans are not 100 percent to blame for the rapid destruction of the environment, random natural changes happen because of solar activity and changes in earth's orbit and volcanic eruptions, but with humans cutting down all the trees that draw in the CO2, we are purely speeding up our own demise.
