What are the most important “general” datasets to have on climate change?

Policy

Country or sub-region commitments (e.g. emission amounts, cuts, temperature targets)

Which countries / regions have emission trading schemes in place and their status

CO2 “price” in European ETS http://datahub.io/core/eu-emissions-trading-system (European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) data from EUTL)

State of the World

Green house gases including C02:

CO2 Levels globally (PPM over time) - http://datahub.io/core/co2-ppm

CO2 emissions: From Fossil Fuels: http://datahub.io/core/co2-fossil-global From Fossil Fuels By Nation: https://datahub.io/core/co2-fossil-by-nation

Human population growth / Urban population growth

Volcano emissions

Impacts

Global temperature http://datahub.io/core/global-temp (NASA GISTEMP and GCAP) http://datahub.io/core/global-temp-anomalies (NASA GISTEMP anomalies)

#27 - CO2 per country (what about other GHG)

Soil temperature

Satelite measurement temperature datasets

Ocean temperature datasets

Glacier size - http://datahub.io/core/glacier-mass-balance

Sea Level http://datahub.io/core/sea-level-rise (Global Average Absolute Sea Level Change, 1880-2014)
