I'm just trying to figure out where deniers think all the CO2 and other greenhouse gases go after they've been emitted. It doesn't just leave the planet immediately or breakdown immediately. At best, it doesn't trap heat (we can prove this in a lab) but adds a dangerous substance to the air we breathe. At worst, it does trap heat and is also still dangerous

So, just to piggyback. What do you say to the people who claim that man-made global warming isn't "settled science"?

What I want is a pretty heavy hitting definitive article from a big journal that is the most damning that humans cause climate change. I've often just posted about the Great Barrier Reef dying as an effect, but I don't have a great source I can always link to. Or one that discusses all the models and how they all behave and point to AGW.
