I'm asking this here not because this is a climate change forum but because I think a lot of smart, introspective and skeptic individuals frequent HN.<p>The question is simple, what is the most compelling evidence that climate change is happening?<p>Alternatively if you have good evidence to believe that climate change is not happening please share it.<p>In any case please link to the source so we can validate your statement and let's keep the conversation friendly.
I think HN is a great platform to discuss climate solutions because it <i>isn’t</i> a climate change community. Curious to hear from others as well!<p>To me, how “real” something is correlates roughly with the number of people pursuing it, and how vigorously they pursue it.<p>To that end, we started Impossible Labs in 2016, skipped over the whole “climate debate” of the 1990s and 2000s, and started putting our full time work into climate solutions.<p>That’s why I helped create <a href="http://airminers.org" rel="nofollow">http://airminers.org</a>. It’s an index of 80+ startups and projects pursuing climate change as an economic opportunity, mining carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. To me this is pretty solid “proof”, though by no means science-based.<p>However, I also wrote a popular article “no one gives a fuck about climate change”: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14492180" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14492180</a><p>The article’s HN discussion sparked the Carbon Doomsday project and git repo: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16332595" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16332595</a>
