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 website talks about all of the effects of global warming and how bad it is. There are so many different things that global warming does that effect the world. It also talks about what global warming could do to us in the future, if global warming continues.

This post is not just about plain old global warming, it is about why global warming is not believed. "Why Americans don't believe in global warming?" Is it only us? Are we a threat? What percentage of Americans support fixing climate change programs? YOU HAVE TO READ TO FIND OUT! It is about the Economy, Politics, and beliefs of global warming.

Great discourse on the American reluctance to support climate change. There could be a bunch of factors- some political, some religious (!) or just for arguments sake!

This is a website just for the effects of wildlife caused by global warming. It has different links to different animals talking about how they are effected by global warming.

This website has facts about global warming and it also talks about why global warming happens, and how it happens (with a diagram). This website also talks about what we can do to help stop global warming

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.

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.

This website is one of the best on this page seen because it is about one specific INTERESTING topic, not all about global warming. CUTE POLAR BEARS! I love how itjust gets right to the point as wherwe other websites take you to home pages when you have to dig to get to the gold.

Here is an article about how global warming and climate change have melted ice in the Arctic Ocean, opening up some new shipping routes.

It describes with good details how influential global warming can be. Global warming can be a very essential thing when many scientists have been surprised by all these new shipping routes in the Arctic Ocean.

I thought this was interesting, it wasn't as negative! It showed how when the ice melts there will be more ship routes, which I thought was odd, because they talked about that, not really about the other affect melted ice will have for wildlife and the rest of the world!

Check it out, y'all

Although emerging markets are a very large portion of the problem, they are necessary for any solution. Most books that talk about the environment has the West as the starting point. This is a very understandable starting place. For many decades the United States of America has been the largest polluter, contributing to the problem more than any other country in the world. Europe, has environmental laws to negotiate new and different solutions. Now Europe and the United States of America are only in supporting roles. Now the leaders are China and India. China emites nearly half of current global emissions. India accounted for 83% of the worldwide increase of carbon emissions from the years 2000-2011. Global warming started with industrialized countries. But, it can only end with developing ones. India and China are fully engrossed in growth of the countries. To continue to feed this growth they are building more and more coal-fired power stations, which is a very bad form of energy. The cities in China and India fume smoke and the rivers are catching on fire. Global warming will effect developing countries very much more then rich ones. A little bit because tropical and sub tropical areas are much more sensitive to warming and cooling temperatures. Richer areas can pay for better flood control and drought-resistent seeds that poor countries. William Cline, an economist, estimated a rise of merely 2.5% in temperature wold cause a 6% decrees in agriculture productivity in the United States of America. but in India there would be a 38% decrees. China and India are very vulnerable. New economic giants (such as China and India) will have to push rich countries to make more environmental compromises. Messrs Mattoo and Submaranian estimate that if China and India want to cut their carbon emissions by 30% in 2020, their production rate would fall 6-7% and the manufactured exports would be effected much more than that. Poor countries cannot handle the issues as well.

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 shows how people in Bangladesh deal with global warming by fusing their rice paddies with fish farms.

This website works with nasa, the department of state, the Smithsonian and many other big us companies and department. The U.S. Global Change Research Program coordinates and integrates federal research on changes in the global environment and their implications for society. This website will tell you all you need to know about climate change and a lot more than I put on my blog post.

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 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.

National Geographic's website: simulation on how the global greenhouse effect works. Fun to play with

The region of Earth receiving the Sun's direct rays is the equator. Here, air is heated and rises, leaving low pressure areas behind. Moving to about thirty degrees north and south of the equator, the warm air from the equator begins to cool and sink. This is a good website to learn about the Earth wind patterns, like some half of the advisories today had learned in the video.

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.

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.
