This is the first in a
series of blog posts on anthropogenic global warming, or global warming caused
by humans. Today, I introduce the subject and establish the existence of a
sudden, unprecedented warming trend. I will discuss the subject in more detail
in future installments.
I have not always believed that global warming was real, or
of concern. For a period spanning my late elementary school days to the
freshman year of college, I regarded the idea with a heavy dose of skepticism.
In fact, I suspected it was false, and either a hoax or, more likely, an
overreaction.
