On one hand, this will fucking suck....however, no one will be able to argue that global warming isn't real as this will be the very real consequences to ignoring climate change.

There is no amount of catastrophic weather or other directly observable evidence that will ever make this statement true. There certainly should be, but the fact remains that many will deny climate change even as it destroys their lives or kills them. I don't like it but that's the world we live in.

Not entirely true in my anecdotal experience. Most of the original deniers I know personally now say that climate change is real, just that it's not man-made and there's nothing we can do about it. I remember around a few years ago I even convinced my boss that climate change is in fact real (he couldn't come up with a valid reason to explain picture and video evidence), but he refuses to accept humans are causing it. It's still equally frustrating, nonetheless.

I have a friend that claims climate change is not man made. He always talks about volcanos and ice ages. Does anyone know what evidence I can actually hand him to show him man's contribution is the leading cause?

Wow. The 'Current Path' was very optimistic. We are accelerating roughly twice as fast as was predicted here in 2016.
