Good site to get a world perspective on what is happening with regard to global climate change. Through an interactive map, participants take a world tour and discover that climate change is a world-wide problem. The "trip" is filled with short videos, challenges, and other useful bits of info.

This NASA site show the Arctic sea ice from 1979-2012. It shows the perennial ice cover and how is has decreased with a very well done animated graphic. The same site has links to sea level, carbon emission, and global temperatures as well
