Yeah, I used to believe that climate change wasn't real. Eventually the evidence was overwhelming. I even remember the particular piece of evidence that convinced me that maybe a lay-person like me didn't know as much as I thought I did. After all, that's really what science is - discovering more information. And if the new, verifiable, repeatable information refutes the previous assumptions, it's time for new conclusions.
Of course climate change is real! Look at what happened to the dinosaurs and the bit of fiery lava that came out of the sun, we now call the earth.

What we are questioning, in my opinion, is can the infinitely minuscule entity called man actually have any effect on climate, the earth or in fact, anything in nature? The hubris in us says, Yes! I find it absurd.
