climate change

The Science

I'm never going to be drawn into a 'debate' about climate change. The science is settled.
Climate change is real, and a profound threat to civilisation as we know it. 

 How do I know that? Because I value and respect the work of scientists. 
If you are confused, or uncertain, then you are probably misinformed.

The following organizations provide scientific evidence and clear statements that:
1) Global Warming / Climate Change is real.
2) Human activities are by far the largest cause
3) Global Warming / Climate Change is an ongoing and worsening phenomenon.
