The best book I've read on the issue is Joseph Romm's 'Hell and High Water'. Another very good one is George Monbiot's 'Heat'. Both books discuss what we can do to reduce our impact on the climate, rather than discussing the science proving anthropogenic global warming (they accept the consensus and go from there).
Some good articles:

The best online resource is the IPCC report:

Also useful are these sites which debunk global warming myths:

-a million- e book, article & website ideas would be the two professional or con reckoning on the unfairness of the only answering. -2- information superhighway seek on "worldwide warming" then any subject rely of pastime from that seek. evaluate scientific rigor of website via their coping with of subject rely. "technology" demands analyzing the two helping and refuting information. If website purely tells why their area is ideal, or different area is faulty, or ridicules authors forget approximately their stuff. -3- Blogs, reader comments, Yahoo! solutions, and so on, do not furnish actual suggestion. circumvent information media for comparable reason. you would be able to get a source reference, nevertheless. seek for the source, not the editorial remark. -4- all of us LIES!

sent you some research links on your other question.
for lighter but nonetheless frightening reading, the obvious is Al Gore's book, "An Inconvenient Truth." Much of the source material for that comes from a CIA report, which was interestingly done not for environmental reasons but national security; the CIA data is probably the scariest stuff out there because it not only cites the data but postulates scenarios for both malignant and malevolent consequences.
For those with short attention span, An Inconvenient Truth is available in movie form, and currently in theaters is another really powerful documentary -- The 11th Hour.

"climate science from climate scientists"
This is the best. You won't read it all, but pick one chapter and read that. The quality of the work is obvious.

"High and Dry" explains why the Australian government rejects climate change and how it is committed to increasing emissions. It explains thoroughly the science and the politics on a local and global scale. Highly recommended - check out the website.

Go to Michael Savage.com for the lies about Global Warming
Another good reference - go to the Heatwave of 1934 and 1936. Referenced from the U.S. National Weather Service archives. The decade of the 1930's experienced higher temperatures and longer periods of drought than at any other time in U.S. history. Also this period saw the strongest hurricanes and the worst tornado out breaks in the U.S.
