Climate Change. It is definitely real and we are definitely causing it.

How do you know that climate change is a real thing?  That question would take a bit longer to answer than a simple blog post could handle, but take a look at these these graphics for a simplified response.  The first shows how we know the planet is warming up and the second shows how we know this is due to the behaviors of humans.  The graphics don’t make it any less cold and snowy, but they do make it a little easier to understand that a little extra cold and snow do not make climate change a hoax.
