  Global warming   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Global warming theories attempt to account for the rise in average global temperatures since the late 19th century (0.6 ± 0.2°C) [1] [1] and assess the extent to which the effects are due to human causes.
Temperatures in the lower troposphere have increased at somewhere between 0.08 and 0.22 °C per decade since 1979 (see Satellite temperature measurements).
Increasing global temperature means that ecosystems may change; some species may be forced out of their habitats (possibly to extinction) because of changing conditions, while others may flourish.

Climate commitment studies predict that even if levels of greenhouse gases and solar activity were to remain constant, the global climate is committed to 0.5°C of warming over the next one hundred years due to the lag in warming caused by the oceans.

 ipedia.com: SEPP Article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The SEPP site appears to be becoming out of date: it lists three science advisors [1] who are dead (William Mitchell, William Nierenberg and Chauncey Starr); the "key issues" page [1] says that "weather satellites and balloon instruments show no warming whatsoever" - this has not been true for some years (see satellite temperature measurements).
SEPP has emerged as one of the chief opponents of the global warming hypothesis, dismissing it as an unvalidated theory.
Further, the claim about no warming from the satellite record is currently wrong: the rise to-date (mid 2003) is 0.07-0.26 oC/decade, depending on which satellite record is used (see satellite temperature record); and climate models reproduce past temperature history quite accurately [1] (contrary to SEPPs claim here, (point 4)).
