Climate change deniers have often claimed that heating from carbon dioxide has never been "proven" but rather only seen in the lab or models.

Here is one more blow to the deniers. For the first time ever, global warming from anthropogenic carbon dioxide production has been demonstrated in nature. This just a day after this study measured a huge increase in sea level rise in the northern US over just 2 years.

Will this evidence finally silence the deniers and motivate policy makers into action?

    It doesn't matter if CO2 is a greenhouse gas or not, you are disrupting the delicate balance of the extremely fragile and rare ecosystem that exists on our planet. Whether it be nitrogen, argon, oxygen, CO2, helium, or bananas, dumping massive amounts of it is a Bad Thing.

    And last I checked, CO2 isn't the only thing produced by burning coal or gas.
