support- The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 2.0 degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century, a change driven largely by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions into the atmosphere.

The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have decreased in mass. Data from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment show Greenland lost 150 to 250 cubic kilometers (36 to 60 cubic miles) of ice per year between 2002 and 2006, while Antarctica lost about 152 cubic kilometers (36 cubic miles) of ice between 2002 and 2005.

Ice in Greenland is starting to melt and its cover has one from a pretty white color to a dark black color. It's also starting to melt by a significant amount more than it ever has. Data from NASA has showed that Greenland has lost 150 to 250 cubic kilometers of ice which is about 45 miles.

Evidence has been found in tree rings, ocean sediments, coral reefs, and layers of sedimentary rock.  Since the 20th Century, a lot of the warming has seemed to be caused by human activity, as scientists have stated after studying this topic of climate change.
This article is valid because it was posted by NASA, and it was supported with factual evidence of why global warming exists.

The Arctic has warmed more than the rest of the planet, and its ice cover has thinned and shrunk. Last September, at the end of the summer melt season, the extent was about 825,000 square miles smaller than the long-term average- a loss equal to the size of Alaska and California combined. That loss speeds the warming, as sunlight is absorbed by dark ocean instead of reflected into space by ice.

"The heat-trapping nature of carbon dioxide and other gases was demonstrated in the mid-19th century. Their ability to affect the transfer of infrared energy through the atmosphere is the scientific basis of many instruments flown by NASA. There is no question that increased levels of greenhouse gases must cause the Earth to warm in response." -Nasa

Evidence shows that humans have been putting an extreme amount of CO2 (Green house gas) in the air, therefore causing climate change  - Alora Simpkins

Nasa has found that the amount of ice melt in the north and south poles has increased and increased ever since the industrial revolution, they have also found that the main cause of this is the increase in CO2 and Methane in the atmosphere due to cow farms and fossil fuel burning. "There is no question that increased levels of greenhouse gases must cause Earth to warm in response" - from Nasa. This is a credible source of information because Nasa really knows what it is doing when it comes to the study of the atmosphere and how it effects Earth.

QUOTE: "The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is extremely likely (greater than 95 percent probability) to be the result of human activity since the mid-20th century and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented over decades to millennia." -https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence

OPINION: I think that this article is valid because of scientific research proving that the global temperature is rising, the oceans are warming, ice sheets are shrinking, there is glacial retreat, decreased snow cover, and sea level rise. Nasa is a government website, therefore confirming it is not an opinionated blog. Studies show that human interaction is the reason why all of the effects stated above are indeed happening. We have been emitting much more CO2 into the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution which is effecting the world that we live in today.

Temperatures are rising, sea levels are rising and warming, ice sheets are melting. There are more extreme events taking place. "The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 2.0 degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century, a change driven largely by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions into the atmosphere."
This is valid because the article was written by NASA and there were pictures and graphs backing the data.

Arctic Ice increased in volume 50% in 2012 alone. The volume of the ice has been increasing since 2012

I got it from a different link refuting the idea of climate change. Which seemed very valid and gave factual evidence behind that, and many other instances, which go against the common belief of climate change

This is a valid recourse because the website is a reliable well known website, it backs up it's information with why this is happening, and they have pictures to prove it.

I support this because the the ice caps don't just melt there has to be a reason, global warming is the only thing that could melt the ice so quickly and continue to consistently melt.

Roughly 30 percent of incoming sunlight is reflected back into space by bright surfaces like clouds and ice. Of the remaining 70 percent, most is absorbed by the land and ocean, and the rest is absorbed by the atmosphere. The absorbed solar energy heats our plan.
Nearly 70% of the ice in either the poles or in the colder places of the world has starred to melt and shrink. every  single year the temperature is rising my at least 1 degree celsius

"Scientists have evidence that El Niño boosts CO2 levels. Every two to seven years, abnormally warm water in the Pacific Ocean causes an atmospheric disturbance called El Niño. It often makes extreme weather worse in various places around the world: greater floods, tougher droughts, more wildfires." More Wildfires means less trees to soak up the CO2 in our atmosphere and tougher droughts and flooding can cause trees to be uprooted or die, which cause less CO2 to be absorbed from out atmosphere. The severe storms that come out of El Niño can also cause land o be ruined for planting future trees.
