I thought it was very interesting that Earth's temperature depends on the balance between energy entering and leaving the planet's system. I didn't know that was what balances Earth's temperature!

How is Wisconsin's climate changing? - 2 views

  •  
    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 is a good site if someone wants to find good climate change facts.
  •  
    The diagram is very interesting--the climate is definitely getting warmer!

Lyrics to Michael Jackson's song about Climate Change - 2 views

  •  
    This song is about the earth, and the way it's affecting us. He says "we can hardly breathe" which is a reference to the pollution and bad air that's in the atmosphere which trap the heat from the sun in. He is saying that humans are neglecting to consider the future!

    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!

The Climate Is Rapidly Changing! - 4 views

  •  
    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.

Why is the climate changing so much? - 1 views

  •  
    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.

    I also found this website and found it very interesting with a graph on the front. There were signs of only seven cycles of glaciers advancing and retreating in the past 650,000 years. Many of the earths satellites can now pick up on the earths changes big or small. The sea level has risen 6.7 inches in ten years and it may double that rate if the glaciers and polar ice caps keep melting.
  •  
    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.

NCAR research on climate change - 1 views

  •  
    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.

Polar Ice and Global Warming - 0 views

    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.

China, India, and Climate Change Take the Lead - 2 views

    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 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

Climate Change - 1 views

    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.
