For years I was with the National Weather Service at NOAA and had the privilege of working alongside their scientists as a computer guy. I can also tell you ten years before I left the overwhelming agreement was indeed climate change was real and a warmer planet was inevitable - the question was how far. The 97% agreement figure among scientists in climate is if anything low. People brainwashed by petrodollar propaganda masquerading as science will pipe up to contradict this yelling 'No it's not I have a website or Breitbart article.".
They are wrong. But the Koch brothers and Big Oil money make sure there are plenty of them.
These scientists would rather slap their mommas then see one data point corrupted. They live for data and therefore science. We all know they are the big guns of the objective science chronicling what is happening.
As October ends and my 60th birthday passes I'd like to note the subjective - as a resident near the US eastern seaboard. The first snows I would see before my birthday now come after it. Increases in moisture uptake leading to higher inches of precipitation of rain and snow. More regular and higher floods. Powerful hurricanes in from the Atlantic more often due to ocean warming.
The recent UN report tells us the timeframe for action isn't 100 years but 10 years. That's to turn a giant fossil fuel burning power back and move to renewable energy, probably with a core of nuclear fission until we get to fusion. Fission has serious issues but carbon emission isn't one and we need a bridge to fusion before we cook ourselves.
If you can see it coming too, vote for better environmental stewardship this November in the US. Citizens of the world beyond the US, please work for a government that will help reduce carbon emissions.
