When I first got into my science nerd phase about 15 years ago, I spent a lot of time reading books and journals in biology.

In the last 5 years, thanks to social media and a wealth of great online peer reviewed science sites, I have branched out my interests to a host of science fields. The thing that most non scientists are not aware of is the amount of evidence and frightening evidence coming from all kinds of science fields. People are willing to discount 95% of climate scientists, fine, but they are very unlikely aware of the many other fields of science now confirming and adding to the data that the very slight change to our planets temperature is quite dangerous.

The most common argument is always, "yeah well its been much warmer" , or "yeah its been much colder", or my favorite, "we couldn't possibly change the climate beyond what we have seen in the planet's history..."

The most frustrating thing, is that science has already called out all those arguments, and destroyed them. Its readily available, there are countless documentaries.

But people select only what agree's with their own pre conceived ideas, and ignore the evidence.
