I can only comment at this moment on whether I think it's real.
I don't remember a single day last year in which the predicted temperature in our paper was 100 before late August. The next three days are coming in at 100. The beaches are disappearing and tides are rising. Houses are falling into the ocean when storms are rolling in. I don't remember rain like this coming in for a week at a time since the 5 hurricanes that hit in 2004. There were only a few days in this area with "ozone warnings" over the past few years... until most of last week was identified as having concerning levels of stuff in the air. It looked like images of LA in our downtown area. You couldn't see the top of 20 story buildings. It's weird weather around here. Sometimes you'll walk outside and it's so hot that there is no sound. The weight of the air constricts your lungs and the asphalt smell is sickening.
I'll go with "yes, global warming is real."
