I started the group on climate change, and time permitting I’m actively in the process of trying to put together podcasts to educate people on these sorts of questions. I really think that there’s not a lot of clear and concise education to the public about not only how to read and interpret the data but what the implications ACTUALLY are. Short of being a scientist yourself it’s hard to convey in a few short sentences….
Unseen your questions is valid, but here’s my short answer to you:
RE: However, let’s be clear. Climate change isn’t a fact the way the boiling point of water is a fact or even the way evolution is a fact.
What we do know and is undeniable is that anthropocentric activities have caused the CO2 in the atmosphere and the hydrosphere to exceed levels that are unprecedented within the last 800,000 years ago (data of which we’ve been able to analyze and extrapolate meaningful numbers), and we do know that this is causing a global energy shift and increased global temperature. The current measurement of CO2 in the atmosphere is over 400ppmv which is a dangerous level of CO2.
The effects are profound and are happening right before our eyes.
