This website is very interesting. It shows a map and when you click on a region it explains in detail how the climate change in that region has changed.

This is about the climate change that has happened in the USA I the pasted years. This is a government website and it is amazing.

I thnk this website is really good because of the regional map. When you click on an area it shows you how much global warming has really affected it in the past years. If enough peopl in the world look at it ( randomly ), it could help us cut back on harmful products.

This site gives some basic but helpful information that includes data for how much hotter it is getting by the year.

This website that I found gave good information about climate change, the affects of climate change, what causes climate change, and even how we can reduce our affect on climate change. The website says that the rise in average temperatures can cause major shifts in climate and weather. The website shows that humans have created large amounts of greenhouse gases which include the gases I listed on blogger. The website also says that climate change can affect water supply, agraculture, power, transportation, natural envornment, and our health. Evidence from this website supports my idea on climate change on blogger. It does not support how climate change affects evolution.

This web sight was really informational about the current issue of climate change. I agree completely about the issues of climate change; our human impact on has released so many gasses into the atmosphere that our world is gradually getting hotter and hotter each year. This web sight also stated that our actions can backfire too. If we do not change our impact on the climate earth could possible become not possible for humans to live on.

This is NASA's website about climate change. It has sidebars that you can click/tap on. You can find out the causes and affects of climate change, evidence of climate change, etc. There is also a tab where you can find other useful websites about climate change.

This website describes what kind of research NCAR is doing and what they have been finding on the issue of climate change. It goes into detail about what the climate was like in the past, the climate in the future, and what the causes of climate change really is. The climate has been changing ever since the Earth began, even before humans, but modern weather measurements only go back to 100-150 years ago. We don't know what the climate of the Earth really was in the prehistoric times. The Earth is getting warmer. According to tests, the Earth's surface temperature has risen more than 1.33 degrees fahrenheit since the late 1800s. There is more about what is causing the climate to change and what the climate will look like in the future.

This website is very thorough in examining the causes and effects of climate change. The website stated that temperatures have risen up to 2 degrees across the entire planet, causing natural disasters, poor air quality, and destruction of wildlife and habitat. Although climate change is natural and there has been 7 glacial retreats in the last 650,000 years, the recent temperatures are off the charts and carbon dioxide levels are higher than they have ever been, showing it is linked to human oil consumption. Global temperatures, sea level rise, shrinking ice sheets, warming ocean waters, glacial retreats, and extreme events are all signs of the global warming that is plaguing the planet. This website confirmed my original point-of-view on the global warming issue because it showed how this is uncommon for previous climate changes and how the warming can create natural disasters.

Good official government site

This is a very helpful website with the information about the climate and carbon levels in the top bar of the website.

Over past years, the climate is drastically getting warmer. Four International Science institutions collected data, which has been transfered to a graph. From 1880 up to now, the climate has been getting warmer. But this past decade, appears the warmest. 18 different scientific associations wrote a bit about climate change and their thoughts. Some say that it is clear that rapid change in climate is from humans. Others say it is due to greenhouse gas. I do believe that climate change is partially caused by humans. And even though it may be hard to tell at times, the climate is constantly changing day by day.

A lot of information about record highs and emissions in the atmosphere.

Gives good information on what sort of heat increases gain throughout the years.

This website gives the statistical facts about global warming, such as carbon dioxide facts and all time highs. This article is highly fact based, explaining statistics as well. It also speaks of the U.S. and its increased temperatures in 2011.

This is a really useful website about future climate change and what is expected to happen with global warming up until the year 2099. It has a bunch of helpful diagrams and written information as well.

Climate change will have many affects of our world climate in the future. Rain pattern are expected to change drastically and that means that Colorado could have lots of rain and places like Maine would have arid climates. The Earths average temperature will rise, which isn't something new but this means that oceans will rise so much that they will flood islands and kost likeley the keys. Along with the increased sea level the Earth will get a higher pH in the oceans. Many areas that have used their climate to grow crops or do certain activities will face an impending change. Crops will die in places that turn cold. Melted snow runoff in the himilayas might flood village's. All of these changes depend upon the amount of greenhouse gases are admitted into the atmosphere. Natural features may play a role to. Say, a volcano eruption, could possibly speed up the process in said area of eruption. Overall many factors play into the climate change of the world and in the future bad consequences might come of the greenhouse gases that are going into the atmosphere. Reviewed by Tucker Hamilton

This site relates geology and climate change, and how climate change is shown within geological records. It also has a part on the greenhouse effect and other changes in the atmosphere.

Evidence for climate change is preserved in a many of earths of geological settings, including water and lake sediments and particles, ice sheets from ice ages and modern times, and fossil tree rings because thicker rings mean more water that years. Rock also provides intricate and detailed information about the climate. If a certain rock like limestone is found where it is a dessert than that means that there was once an ocean there which would effect the climate. There is geological evidence that when more co2 is released into the atmosphere it tends to make the earth heat and with that water levels rise. This is evident through the said process of rock types that was described. Co2 that is absorbed into tree rings also offers evidence of this. Overall, geology offers many different scientific clues about how to tell the climate of ancient times an places. Geology can be helpful to climatologists who want to compare data and prove their point of view.

This website has info on why our climate is changing and how to prevent major climate change. You can learn about the climate issues and the science of it all. It gives a few ideas that you can use to reduce the climate change and the issues of global warming. This website is from the United States Enviornmental Protection Agency and is a reliable source that gives clear and accurate information. This site has any information on climate change and enviornmental protection that any one will need or want to know!

This website accurately shows how the climate is changing in the state of colorado. The website also ties back to water supply and other things we discussed in keystone.

The website also pulls out some key problems in colorado that are happening due to climate change and global warming. The website discusses how the water supply is lessening, how climate change is effecting the snowpack, and other important topics, such as droughts. Climate is effecting colorado, but slowly.

Q and A with climate change facts! Good to quiz yourself with:) my favorite is: In the past, has Earth been warmer than it is today? If so, does that mean we shouldn't worry about global warming?

NASA (National Aeronautics Space Administration) and NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) agree that climate change is happening and humans are contributing to it. Many people agree in the United States of America and abroad. MAny believe it is because of greenhouse gases from humans. Scientists are trying to answer some very important questions such as how quickly will the world warm, and what consequences will that have on certain parts of the world. The global temperature average has risen by 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit over the last 100 years. NOAA said that the decade between 2000-2010 was the warmest decade on record. 2005 was the warmest year on record. There have been more intense rainfall and severe heat waves. Sea levels are rising. The Earth does go through warming and cooling because of factors such as sun and volcanic activity. The warming and cooling is partly natural and partly because of humans. The sun's energy has fluctuated but is small in comparison compared to human's effect. The warming is consistent with what happens with heat trapping carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide can lead to climate changes that can hurt plants, animals, and people. For every 2 degrees Fahrenheit raise 5-15% reductions in crops. 3-10% increase in rain which would create flooding. 5-10% increase in stream flow. 200-400% increase in wildfires in the western United States. Scientists predict that the temperature will rise 2-12 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100. It is not too late too fix climate change!

This website has a what-you-need to know about climate change. It has all the information on the problem if climate change all the way to how to prepare for it (if it gets bad).

This has an overview and introductory perspective on the four major areas of concern: climate change science, impacts, policy and reporting. There are sections from books written about climate change and how to prepare. There is also some PDF's on all of it. P.S. they take a while to load so be patient

In a poll online done by 13,500 people in 13 countries, found that most believe believe climate change is going on. 98% believe in Mexico. 98% believe in Hong Kong. 97% believe in Indonesia. 80% believe in Belgium. 72% believe in the United States of America Rising average temperature, drought, and extremes of rainfall were the reasons most people believed in climate change. Although countries had different results about if humans were to blame for climate change. 94% believe in Hong Kong. 93% believe in Indonesia. 92% believe in Mexico. 87% believe in Germany. 78% believe in Japan. 65% believe in Great Britain. 58% believe in the United States of America. The survey was from July 5 through August 6. It was polled in Belgium, Great Britain, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United States of America. In Japan global warming has been dismissed as nuclear propaganda.

This site explains what climate change is and what it does under each individual atmosphere layer including the ozone. The site gives useful information about how climate change effects the planet. I would recommend checking out this site because it gives basic but relatable information to what we have learned in class.

This website is all about climate change in Denver. It talks about how different temperature changes can effect our water supply from the mountains. A 2 to 5 degree Fahrenheit increase in temp. could cause a 7 to 14% decline in water supply yield. It talks about how we are fixing the damage of climate change and global warming. Also it talks about the Denver climate change adaptation plan. This is a very good and detailed website.

This is a good site if someone wants to find good climate change facts.

The diagram is very interesting--the climate is definitely getting warmer!

This website has a detailed graph as well as a lot of information about how the climate can change. The climate may change in an area of the world that receives a lot of sunlight. In an area that is colder, the climate may change differently. The website also talks about geographical features (like oceans), intensity of solar energy, greenhouse gases, and more.

Has cool maps and facts to show that climate change is trully happening

This websites provides excellent proof of the fact that global warming is real. In the last 650,000 years CO2 levels did not go over 300 ppm. However in recent times the ppm has sky rocketed to 390 ppm. I find it is also frightening that ten of the hottest years occurred in the last 12 years. Coldest records are not being reported as often as they used to be. The top 700 meters of the ocen has rose a frightening .3 degrees Fahrenheit seance 1969. The acidity of the ocean has also risen by 30%. This website backs up my ideas on climate change. I believe and so does NASA that global warming is happening now.

This website is very detailed, it has a graph and excellent proof of global warming.

This link show you that global warming does make an effect on the earth. It tells you lots of good information. I was surprised that the earth has had its hottest temperatures in the last 12 years! There has been no coldest records in a long time.
