Sh*t, we’re screwed! Does anybody know a website or book about the proof, that the climate change is human-made? Don’t misunderstand me: I’m not denying climate catastrophy and that it is handmade. There a so many scientists who say that, But I know someone who claims warming is not made by humans.And I would like to present him scientifical facts, maybe I can convince him.
I already know that there is the greenhouse effect in the athmosphere and that the ocean can bind CO2 to a certain amount. And I’ve seen graphs about the temperature rising.
But I don’t know the proof (or theorem)
I mean there are tons of resources, NASA is a good place to start

However, whether climate change is human caused or not is a fundamentally irrelevant question. Even if it was naturally occurring, that wouldn’t change the damage it’s causing to life on this planet in any way. So, the only question that matters is what we can do to arrest it.
Thank you very much! Very interesting links, some stuff to read.
EDIT: True, but indirectly it’s still important that it is human made, because it makes clear what we have to do.
Yeah, the evidence that climate change is primarily human driven is incontrovertible at this point. That said, this may actually change going forward as we hit tipping points where natural processes could eclipse what we’re doing. For example, thanks to the warming climate permafrost is starting to melt up north releasing gigatons of methane which is some thing like 80x more potent greenhouse gas than CO2. This kind of stuff could create a runaway effect that we wouldn’t even be in a position to do anything about.
