Man-made climate change is real, and the most urgent, known threat to our civilization. Mountains of scientific evidence say as much, and I have never seen a convincing argument to the contrary. Not one. What makes me an authority? Nothing. I'm just an average Joe without an advanced degree (BS Comp. Sci.). However, here's what distinguishes me from denier trolls: I trust and understand scientific consensus. That's my big secret ;). G'head, trolls, try to prove me wrong. And good luck.

Apparently Climate Change Is "Controversial" o_0
It's an interesting talk, and I found the stock market/surface temperature analogy at about 8:02 particularly compelling, but conceding right from the start that climate change is somehow magically still a "controversial" topic, when in fact the science behind man-made emissions causing the observed warming is as settled as any established scientific notion we rely upon in our daily lives, is all part of the "be nice" approach that has led us to a critical point where we still have zero meaningful policy and no time left to waste. Those who still believe there's a controversy here with two sides engaging in a "balanced" debate are well past the tactful kid-glove treatment now. They need a forceful, unflinching, high-speed, crash course or cram session, so they can catch up with the rest of us who have embraced reality. Sorry, but the gentle coaxing period has expired.
