The History of Climate Change

I just watched a great online lecture "the discovery of global warming" which follows the history of climate change since the discovery of the greenhouse effect in 1824. It's a bit lengthy but the page is cool since you can click on individual slides and jump around the presentation:

The link was published on Terrapass footprint: http://www.terrapass.com/blog/posts/a-history-of-global-warming

one of the last slides really resonated with me:

Humans started global warming...and we can stop it
It's easier than lots of things we've done
It's not a scientific problem now... it's a political problem

(chew on this: Who thinks global warming is really happening? 45% of republicans, 86% of democrats)
