The RealClimate blog has great information on the science behind global warming. Recently they posted a resource page with links about climate change. They plan to update the page as they discover new resources, so you might want to bookmark it.

In browsing around the internet this week I found some sites with good information about global warming:

Reporting on Climate Change: Understanding the Science - A 100-page book, free to download or $30 in print form, that does an excellent job summarizing the science behind climate change.

Celsias (Blog) - Great background essays on climate science, also some very funny posts.

Woods Hole Research Center - Excellent resource with background articles, links for further reading, and more.

MarketWatch Special Report: An Investor Guide to Global Warming - A five-part series that ran each day this week covering everything from green investments to the role of insurers.
