It is still possible to pick out some data which might imply otherwise, but it has to come from selective picking and choosing.
In the end, you will choose to believe whom you want to believe… I see my role as helping people who already understand the problem to do something about it. The IPCC is an excellent resource, and one of many. At this point, depending on where you live, it’s possible to see the effects with your own eyes.
For the exhaustive case about global warming, siee Climate Progress

At any rate, my ability to make a meaningful contribution to the scientific debate on climate change is limited since my own training is in economics, public policy and finance.
If I wanted to know where global scientific consensus on the matter stood, I would go with the IPCC (http://www.ipcc.ch/index.htm). There are a wealth of reports on the website with ample scientific information that you may find of interest.

I am confused that everyone is claiming that there’s a carbon problem. I do understand that it makes sense to tread lightly on this planet, and that we should all try to be good stewards of the Earth. But I wish someone could explain why the average temperature of the Earth has NOT increased in the last 80 years, even though CO2 continues to increase. Additionally, NASA imagery over a ten year period shows the highest amount of CO2 concentration was over the Northern hemisphere – mostly within the arctic circle in 2006-2007, and yet temperatures actually dropped and ice mass increased over the same period within the arctic circle!
Please help! I don’t get it.

Thanks for what you are doing! As citizens, we all need to encourage Obama and our other representatives on this.
