Abstract

This briefing outlines the evidence from instrumental records that leads to an unequivocal finding that the world has warmed. It then goes on to address the underlying causes, showing that only through invoking the effects of humans can the last 50 years be adequately explained. Finally, it addresses the recent hiatus/pause in warming of global surface temperatures and the implications thereof.
