Invalid Arguments: Climate Change

There are only a few topics that seem less obvious but more hotly debated than climate change. It's here, it's happening, it's caused by humanity, and it is one of the largest problems humanity will ever face. But I believe we will face it, and we'll face it with the desperate ingenuity and bravado with which we have faced our entire history on this planet. And we will survive it, as long as we can finally freaking agree that "it" isn't a conspiracy theory made up to annoy the rich and powerful.

So, as I know this is a hotly debated subject, this video has sources...

After 1975 there was little connection between solar activity and the earth's temperature: http://www.mps.mpg.de/dokumente/publi...

Indeed, if it were the sun, we should be cooling: http://rspa.royalsocietypublishing.or...

Windowshady Nicely referenced. Thank you for raising awareness.

Elsiya As a microbial ecologist working on climate change, I really get annoyed when people say they don't 'believe'in climate change.
Facts and beliefs have nothing to do with one another. Moreover, Science has nothing to do with beliefs.
So Thank you for taking it to the broader audience, thank you for being documented, thank you for making a point. Thank you.
