    All climate scientists agree that: 1) Earths average surface temperature has warmed by 0.7C since 1900, a conclusion based on direct measurements. 2) concentrations of CO2, CH4, N2O, and other greenhouse gases have built up over the last 100 years due to human activities. The issue at the heart of the greenhouse debate is not whether rising greenhouse gas levels have contributed to the warming, but rather the magnitude of the amplification of the warming by various feedbacks.
