More than 300 scientists from 48 countries have compiled the annual State of the Climate Report for 2009. Everyone of 10 key indicators confirms that the Earth is warming. The above link takes you to a NOAA site where you can download either the full 218 page report, or a 10 page summary report, as I chose.
What the report does not do is assess the cause of this warming trend. However, it does deal with some of the consequences, such as more severe weather, and it attempts to quantify them.
I definitely recommend at least the summary report. Also informative are the interactive graphs available at the title link under "Do It Yourself: Key Climate Indicators". A sample of these is this link to sea level rise, my preferred indicator.
