The answer to your points is: if you’re really interested in understanding the science behind climate change, don’t take anyone’s word for it. Go out and find the sources, read the books, and make the effort to form your own opinions.

That’s what I did, starting more than a year ago, because I realized that this topic was becoming important, and I began to distrust the talking points circulated by the right wing. After quite a bit of reading and research, I came to the conclusion that my previous skepticism had been drastically mistaken, that there really is a dangerous problem that needs to be addressed, that the science is very sound and convincing, and that the Republican Party is deliberately trying to confuse people and cloud the issues for political reasons.
