What exactly is the science? I know green house gasses heat us up but in layman’s terms what happened, and why did it happen? I live in a rural area, and work a blue collar job. My coworkers all think it’s fake, even though I point out current world events. I don’t exactly understand it myself exactly but I know it’s real. Explain like I’m five please

There is an interesting aspect to point out. The CO2 content of the atmosphere is actually very **low**. It’s now 421 parts per million (ppm), or about 0.042%.
In pre-industrial times, it was 280 ppm (0.028%)
By 1950, it had only risen to 310 ppm
Those making climate denial arguments in bad faith will try to tell you “CO2 has only increased by **0.14%**”. Do not be fooled by this idiocy. The increase is **50%**.
