Every once in a while you wish you had just the perfect fact as rebuttal to some inane global warming comment made by your brother-in-law or wish you could have one, comprehensive source for reliable facts that you could access quickly. 
Real Climate is a one stop link for resources that people can use to get up to speed on the issue of climate change for complete beginners to those seeking serious discussion of details. Click on "start here" and find your niche. The site was started as a climate science commentary site by working climate scientists in a forum that is readable to non-scientists, interested people and journalists.
Along with its information for real beginners, it lists "Frequently Asked Questions," goes into "informed but in need of more detail," links, along with a little history and art, to "informed, but seeking serious discussion of common contrarian talking points." It even gives you an index of "debunks" of most common points of confusion about global warming.
I was wandering through some stunning photographs at World View of Global Warming when I came across the Hard Rain Project. It's perfect logic that "changing minds with a book is difficult, because those who buy the book mostly agree with the authors." The Hard Rain exhibtion is a collection of photographs and Bob Dylan lyrics that is touring throughout the world in hopes to be see by over 10 million people. It hasn't made it to the States, yet, but keep an eye out for it.
