The Royal Society is a 350 year old, UK based fellowship that has 1400 members from the fields of science, maths, engineering, and medicine. Their stated aims are to increase access to the best science, inspire interest in scientific discovery, invest in innovation, influence policymaking with the best scientific advice, and invigorate science and maths education.
One of the many things they do is publish documents that explain the science behind major issues of the day.
A few days ago they released Climate change: a summary of the science. This gives an excellent summary of where the science is, at the moment, stripped of all the politics, the mis-direction, and the outright lies, that surround the subject.
One of the useful things it does is break the science down into 3 categories: Where there's wide agreement; where there's wide concensus but continuing debate; and where things are not well understood.
If you have time, click the link above, and give it a read. It's only 13 pages long.
