What is the Physics behind Global Warming?

[11thHeaven]

Hi all, I'm a 1st year physics student in the UK and I'd like to ask if anyone could point me to where I can learn about the in-depth science of global warming/climate change. I don't like having to appeal to authority (even when the authority is legitimate) during debates on global warming and I'd like to have a go at understanding the physics of what's going on myself. I know much of it will be beyond my level but I'd like to have a go regardless.

I'm afraid such a topic is banned here at PF because we don't have the expertise to moderate it. Please browse the EPA site for some general information. Thanks!
