All: hope this is not too long, but I am copying some very well respected, peer reviewed papers on climate change for those of you who might be on the fence on this. Please, if in doubt, don't just look at the resource, but choose some of the papers and read for yourself about how humans are directly impacting the climate of our planet. Cheers.
