What are the scientific facts on Global Warming ?
Thousands of Global Warming specialists meet under the UN in a worldwide
organization called the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). They
publish
periodically
an extensive report giving the state of science on global warming.
The last one, the "Third Assessment Report" on global warming, was
released by the IPCC in 2001. It contains thousands of page written in the
scientific
jargon for global warming specialists. It is summarized in a language for non-specialists
on www.greenfacts.org.
In short, it is very likely that human emissions are affecting our climate
and causing global warming. The exact extent is largely unknown, especially
at a regional scale.
But it is clear that the more greenhouse gases are emitted,
the more drastic the consequences of
global
warming are likely to become.
