Post Convincing the unconvinced about global warming -- help?
Okay, so one of the girls in my program is unconvinced by global warming...which I suppose is reasonable, considering how most of the information about climate change comes from people with an agenda. Also, she is an anarchist and therefore does not necessarily appreciate input from the EPA (which is my prefered source of good stats).

Here's the challenge -- she says she is willing to read any information about it that I send her. Does anyone know of a good source of climate change statistics that would convince a non-believer? Nothing sensationalist, please...she didn't like an Inconvenient Truth.
Ideas very much appreciated, thanks!

Could you explain what some of her specific problems with global climate change are? I mean if she rejects all authority I don't know what we can do but I'd start with IPCC reports. Other than showing her that practically all scientists believe in it I don't know what else to do. Anybody have good articles for laymen?
