This annotated lecture starts with a very short history of climate change. It relies  on Spencer Weart’s, The Discovery of Global Warming.

Then it states the outcomes of the scientific investigation of global warming.

  • Sea level has risen and will rise.
  • Ice sheets and glaciers have melted and will continue to melt.
  • The temperature has risen and will continue to rise.
  • The weather has changed and will continue to change.
