What evidence confirms climate change?

Over the past one and a half centuries, there are tons of evidence that indicate climate change is happening. The changes include the rise of temperatures on land, changes in key dates when rivers and lake freeze, the melting of solar ice caps, a reduction in the number of glaciers, and plants having an extended period of growth. The heat stored in oceans, which usually takes a lot of time to change has been increasing over the past 50 years. We have also seen changes in the patterns of rainfall which has resulted to either intense rain or droughts or even flooding. Climate change has also affected some animals and plants biologically. There has been a shift in the ranges where some animal and plant species can be found and mistiming of events such as bird migration and egg laying in some species. These pointers indicate that climate change is real and it is happening on our watch.
