This is the first in a series of posts that will point out the salient data in the climate change crisis. There is a lot of propaganda/false information out there, so I will do my best to find the least biased, peer-reviewed, scientific data available.
The first document to exam in the 2001 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) - an international committee of the world's leading climate scientists and their consensus on the state of data currently. Please review the 2001 publication here.
They list 4 indisputable facts:
1) The global average surface temperature has increased over the 20th century by about 0.6°C.
2) Temperatures have risen during the past four decades in the lowest 8 kilometres of the atmosphere.
3) Snow cover and ice extent have decreased.
4) Global average sea level has risen and ocean heat content has increased.
