With climate change turning into a political debate instead of a science debate its getting more and more popular and I constantly see talks about how the science end is coming to a more unified conclusion on it.
Now I often talk to my stepfather about current events and he's the kind of guy who leaves fox news on all day when he's at home and loves bill o'riley if you catch my drift. When we have these discussions he just spews out all of the typical media ticks with no backing and I realize I'm not nearly educated enough on the subject to give him a reasonable answer as to why his nonsense is nonsense.
All I can do is appeal to things guys like neil degrasse tyson or bill nye (the only two guys who ever get asked questions about this stuff.. sigh) have said. I have been trying to google what information I can but with all this political media spin I'm having a lot of trouble finding tangible information about actual studies, how they were done, how they reached their conclusions etc etc.
I was wondering if maybe any of you gents happen to know where I might find some of the information backing the usual suspects claims that "97% of the scientific community agrees about climate change" and how these more recent studies were conducted etc.
TL-DR: I'm having a lot of trouble finding information about climate change that isn't political media spin. I'm looking for some help finding the actual studies that support climate change with information on how they were conducted etc so I can better educate myself on the subject.
