“Climate Data?!?”…What is this is?!?

My justification for this category

I’ve been approached by many people to comment on climate change, and I must admit that I’ve never been able to pull specific stats out of thin air for a good argument.  I then went to look for a book that might have a compilation of data up to the point, but found no such book. Most of the books I found discussed what was going to happen if society didn’t commit to changing our thinking on climate, or the role of society in such a situation and all of the other social problems that could be addressed with a societal commitment to change. Neither of these allowed me to dive into the data though, i.e. judge their scientific method for myself. I did come across a wikipedia page (Scientific opinion on climate change) that started what I was looking for, but not entirely. So, I will be posting from time to time, some charts with a discussion of the data.
