What happened

A major new review says the scientific evidence that human-caused greenhouse gases are warming the planet is stronger than ever. The review was published despite a U.S. government report that questioned the science. A separate analysis of independent observations and improved methods reached the same conclusion, that greenhouse gases are changing Earth's climate.

Why it matters

The reports present the findings as clear evidence of human influence on the climate. Decades of observations and better methods underpin that conclusion.
