Scientific understanding of climate change was recently summarized in the unglamorously named but rigorously vetted Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change volume released this September. The hefty report stated that "Human influence on the climate system is clear." It also stated that "Warming in the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia." The usual parade of climate skeptics took to the American airwaves in response to the IPCC report's release, making their case that climate is not changing or that humans are not responsible. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's most recent annual Arctic Report Card catalogued a wide range of ongoing changes in the character of the Arctic and many climate records set in 2012, including record low sea ice extent, the warmest permafrost temperatures ever recorded in northern Alaska, and the longest ever observed melting season over Greenland.
