Anthropogenic climate change is real -- you all KNOW that, right?

It must be real, that's from these climate doomsayers flying their private jets, boating in their yachts, living in their mansions, telling the rest of us to turn down our thermostats, to drive electric cars (gee, wonder where all that electricity comes from?), and on and on.
 
This kind of online debating style seems to only flag up how many people would rather spend time bickering and bemoaning "climate change" online instead of getting their heads out of their "Selfish personal introspective dark space" (SPIDS for folks who like daft meaningless acronyms) and looking out into the wider world with a concern for humanity beyond the garden fence.
 
There is a scientific consensus.

A scientific consensus is reached when the vast majority of the scientists involved in a discipline broadly agree on the interpretation of the evidence pertaining to a specific scientific question. When this occurs the case can be considered to have been demonstrated and the burden of proof then falls on those who would dispute the consensus. The following national and international organizations are part of the consensus that global warming is a real phenomenon for which humans are responsible:[28]

  • National Academy of Sciences (NAS)
  • National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
  • NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS)
  • Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
  • Royal Society (UK)
  • Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (CMOS)
  • UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
  • And many more.
Though some have taken non-committal stances, the vast majority of scientific bodies are convinced by the evidence.[note 3] In addition, those pinko tree-huggers at the Pentagon now rank global warming as a "destabilizing force" (damn enviro-weenies).[29][30]

Despite the clarity of the facts, behavioral/social science tells us that simply shoving global warming related scientific data into their face simply solidifies their existing beliefs.[31] There's even a college offering free online classes that teaches you both the science of what is going on and how to fight denialism properly.[32]
