re: #71 mattand

Going back on topic: is there a reliable resource or resources I can hit that lays out the evidence for global warming/climate change? I don’t want to get into one of these arguments and not have evidence and refs to back myself up.

Keep in mind all the facts in the world won’t change the mind of a deranged member of the conservative hate-cult. Rebut the denier arguments, but with an eye to capturing low-info “lurkers” who happen to be reading the conversation - they’re the minds you can change, not the hard-core deniers.

From Skeptical Science, The Debunking Handbook gives you great tips on how to combat climate myths without unintentionally reinforcing them. It also tells you how to frame your argument to make it more effective with certain conservatives who would otherwise ignore you.
