Global Warming Science (Part 1)

Global warming is real, is caused by people, and its consequences are likely to be catastrophic.

The deniers favorite lie is that climate scientists are greedy nerds spreading a false alarm in order to get grant money.  You don't have to know anything about science or scientists to pop that bubble: the denialist side pays much better for almost no work.  Real easy money for anyone with have Prof in front of thier name or PhD after it, and a middling talent for lying.

Thanksgiving is coming and will be an angry time around many US dinner tables.  In preparation for the arguments about climate change, I am posting information about the basic science of global warming.  The science is not new.  It started in the 19th century and ended fifty years ago with a series of measurements that proved global warming's inevitability.  Those results have been validated again and again.
