Climate Change for Dummies

Put this together! My partner's grandfather, since we reconnected, keeps sending me crackpot stuff about climate change being fake and the ice caps reformulating (if you're curious: the ice caps grow and melt seasonally, but a lesser rate than which they're melting due to increased global temperature). Although I had an idea of why climate change occurs, I didn't know specifics or how I would answer if someone asked me to explain how it works from top-to-bottom (or perhaps, as a good dialectician, from bottom-to-top; i.e., from fundamental principles to emergent dynamics). So I did my due diligence and wanted to share what I learned in case others also found it useful!

Of course, it turns out my GIL owns stock in oil and gas, so there's no convincing him (and, to be clear, this was more for me than anything). Digital version on my blog!
