Climate Reality's Useful Info to Help Fight Like Your World Depends On It

Talk about climate change and the solutions to your friends, family and neighbors.  Bring the conversation into the mainstream. Let’s stop the spiral of silence.

 

Defend your stance on the climate crisis with information from Skepticalscience.com.  There is even a phone app so you can have the information at your fingertips to dispel climate denier’s arguments.  Skeptical Science removes the politics from the debate by concentrating solely on the science.
