Impacts and adaptations of climate change across the major regions of the US. Also broken down across 10 sectors-agriculture, coasts, ecosystems, energy, human ,health, etc. 

Climate Commons is a map-based interactive platform that contains layers of news and information on climate change in the US. It is designed to provide academics, policymakers, journalists, and the general public with the latest data and stories on the causes and impacts of, and responses to climate change across the country. The map combines the most recently available data on climate change indicators, such as temperature, precipitation, and emissions, with the latest, geo-tagged stories on climate change in the United States.

Stories and resources for younger children about climate change.

Great opportunity for students to contribute to US climate records by tracking phenology of local plant species. Lots of helpful resources for teachers at all grade levels, and appropriate for many areas (not just science). Show students how they can quite easily participate in real, meaningful research that encourages them to care for and observe the environment!

A good child-friendly site from the US EPA about Climate Change. Learn about why it's happening and what they can do to help. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/PSHE%2C+RE%2C+Citizenship%2C+Geography+%26+Environmental
