I wasn't going to do this bit quite yet, it was going to be part 5 but I've been challenged by a chap to produce some scientific evidence. He seems nice enough but he and I disagree on whether climate change is real so I'll put up some of my argument and let it be seen and judged.
I'll start with a few books. You needn't read all of them but a couple will give you a fairly good grounding in the basics.
The first is The Two Mile Time Machine by Richard Alley. He's a guy who spends a lot of time drilling in the Greenland Ice sheets and his book gives a fascinating account of what they found.
The second is by a guy called Fred Pearce. If you are in the UK the book is called, The Last Generation. If in the USA the title is With Speed and Violence.
I'd also recommend a book by Dave Reay called Climate Change begins at Home.
There are many many books out there arguing one thing or another, some of them quite readable but the 3 above give a good overview.
If you already think climate change is real I'd also recommend The end of the long summer by Diane Dumanoski
Web site wise, where to start there are so many!
http://www.ipcc.ch/ gives you the body which produces the reports EVERYONE disagrees about
http://www.skepticalscience.com/ Though my friend won't like it!!
http://www.wunderground.com/climate/ and you can get a weather forecast.
http://nsidc.org/ mainly about the Arctic
http://www.eea.europa.eu/ lots and lots of stuff.
Please feel free to search on your own by the way. I won't be offended honest!
As always comments are more than welcome, mistake pointing is encouraged and discussion is good.
Happy reading.
