I would urge anyone interested in the science of climate change to read the report “What We Know” by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, at https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=aaas%20what%20we%20know%20pdf.

Many of these panelists demonstrate a serious lack of knowledge on this subject. Just one example: The existence of climate change is established via historical data, not models. And, public opinion does not conflict with the experts: According to a recent global Pew survey, most respondents believe climate change is “a very serious problem”, and 78% support actions to reduce GHG emissions. http://www.pewglobal.org/2015/11/05/global-concern-about-climate-change-broad-support-for-limiting-emissions/
