It's easy to read and makes it easy to discuss climate change with others and have plenty of great discussion points.
1. Approx 97% of scientists believe we humans are the cause of global warming.
2. Seven of the eight years hottest years on record have occurred since 2001.
3. Since 1900 the average temperature on earth has risen 1.5°F (.8°C). 2005 and 2010 were the hottest years.
4. National Climate Assessment drafted a report that states that future generations of Americans can expect "heat waves, heavy downpours and in some regions floods and drought"
5. The US Army says that global warming is a national security threat because it may produce scores of refugees and food shortages due to displacement, droughts and possibly war and/violence.
Now, I'm no scientist, but I've certainly never heard that any scientist has proven that we are not causing climate change and the evidence is pretty overwhelming that we do. Shouldn't we error on the side of caution? Especially since the downside is so destructive to future generations.
So go on, get out there and spread the word.
