This website has a slide show that shows the current temperatures of the seasons in Wisconsin, historical temperatures, predictions of the temperature, and many other temperatures. In the future, scientists predict that there will be heavy precipitation, 90° days, and many other things!

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.

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!

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.

The website shows how you can take ashes and make them into diamonds and jewelry

I think that it is crazy that the temperature has to go up to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit! Then the carbon turns into graphite. This process takes a few weeks. I think that it's very cool that you can turn ashes into diamonds.

This is really interesting how cremations can turn into diamonds with very high pressure and heat but I don't think this is really relevant to our unite. If you get one you can always keep your grandma close to your heart...literally.

This shows the process of cremation diamonds are made.

This website showed how ashes can be turned into diamonds.

This website is created especially for kids by EPA. On the home page, you can choose to read about climate change in any one region in the US. This page gives you detailed information about each region through maps, other pictures, and text. The website states that in the northern part of the Great Planes, average winter temperatures have increased by as much as 7 degrees. It also states that as of 2085, precipitation in the northern Great Planes may increase by as much as 40% and may decrease by that much in the South (including Colorado)! Yet another upsetting fact is that water is expected to become a major problem in this region, with the water supply in the Ogallala aquifer, the Great Planes main source of water, decreasing, while the population and heat are increasing rapidly.

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 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.

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 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 talks about how fast weather has changed throughout this year. From the hottest to the coldest temperatures.

This was a very good website because it showed us how 2012 was the hottest year for USA and this website gave us additional information about hurricanes that I never knew.

This is a website about Climate Change and how it changes over the years.

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.

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 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
