What part of “climate change” and “global warming” don’t people understand and continue to deny? Are they the same people who still believe the Apollo moon landings were faked and filmed somewhere in New Mexico? Even individuals who reluctantly acknowledge the existence of global warming refuse to believe that humans have caused the changes.
In my opinion, based on personal exposure to news reports, various articles and my own observations, the following is a short list of the undeniable with some relevant links:

Here are a couple more links which may convince even the most skeptical among us that we citizens of this planet have a critical problem WE need to address NOW.
