Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the causes of global warming and why there is a need for concern. The paper discusses the real evidence that humans are causing climate change. The paper examines China's contribution to climate change and addresses why the United States is so slow to deal with issues related to climate change.

Outline:
What is the Most Recent Science and Why Should Humans be Concerned?
What Evidence is there that Humans are causing Global Warming?
Other events contribute to the continuing dynamic of global warming

From the Paper:

"Prior to addressing the issue of how global warming is caused - and the scientific evidence reported in this paper will prove that many of the causes that directly relate to global warming are man-made - it is important to present material that describes what is happening right now and what are scientists saying about the ultimate damage to the earth and its inhabitants that may be the result of climate change (note: "climate change" and "global warming" are interchangeable phrases and concepts in this paper)."
The very latest report from the scientific community about global warming comes from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a United Nations-sponsored network of 2,000 scientists from all over the world who have been studying the Earth's environment since 1988. The IPCC issued its latest findings - the second of a series of four climate change reports - from Brussels, Belgium, early in April, 2007 - and this report received a tremendous amount of attention in the media. The reason why this report received so much attention is that it is predicting that because of ongoing man-made conditions, global warming has now reached a point where there is not stopping it, and the harmful effects of global warming are already in evidence in numerous ways and many places on Earth."
