I'm surprised and puzzled, there's a rather impressive wealth of evidence out there.
Hmm, as for solid data, have you looked at the information about worldwide losses to glaciers? Here's one useful site (of many) for this info. If the fact that glaciers have been retreating worldwide since around 1980s and this retreat is increasing doesn't seem reasonable to you, then we're operating from sufficiently different perspectives that I'm not at all certain that we have any basis for useful communication.
However, if this seems reasonable (not the cause, merely the fact that glaciers are retreating and that this is increasing), then I recommend the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report. I have only read excerpts (both directly from the report and in various articles), but everything I've seen looks rigorous and solid and is the most comprehensive survey of the data and analysis of the data that I've seen.
