I'm not looking for opinions, just facts that support anthropogenic [human-caused] global warming.

  2. Try the link below.

    The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on climate change) was a report done by thousands of different types of scientists. It is the mother of all reports. The IPCC was formed by the United Nations.

    It is a series of BIG reports... happy reading!

  4. try  www.open.ac.uk/openlern/home.php  go in to lerning space and then science and nature or technolagy there loads of stuff there

  5. Here's one:

    (note, this is an open-access article, a fairly large PDF so will take a minute or so to download, be patient)

    Don't have a link for this, the citation will have to do:

    Title:  Increases in greenhouse forcing inferred from the outgoing longwave radiation spectra of the Earth in 1970 and 1997

    Author(s): Harries JE, Brindley HE, Sagoo PJ, Bantges RJ

    Source: NATURE    Volume: 410    Issue: 6826    Pages: 355-357    Published: MAR 15 2001  

    Abstract: The evolution of the Earth's climate has been extensively studied(1,2), and a strong link between increases in surface temperatures and greenhouse gases has been established(3,4). But this relationship is complicated by several feedback processes-most importantly the hydrological cycle-that are not well understood(5-7). Changes in the Earth's greenhouse effect can be detected from variations in the spectrum of outgoing longwave radiation(8-10), which is a measure of how the Earth cools to space and carries the imprint of the gases that are responsible for the greenhouse effect(11-13). Here we analyse the difference between the spectra of the outgoing longwave radiation of the Earth as measured by orbiting spacecraft in 1970 and 1997. We rnd differences in the spectra that point to long-term changes in atmospheric CH4, CO2 and O-3 as well as CFC-11 and CFC-12. Our results provide direct experimental evidence for a significant increase in the Earth's greenhouse effect that is consistent with concerns over radiative forcing of climate.
