"Build a Tree-Ring Timeline (Hot Science) Learn about the study of tree rings, which scientists have used to date the remains of Viking ships, and try your hand at creating your own tree-ring chronology. "

This activity is fun (takes a new version of shockwave), however it may create a misconception. The "chronology" is built by chaining tree cores together to span from 2000 - 1840. The activity in Natural Inquirer that uses for paper "cores" is more realistic because there is more "vertical" overlap in time.

"Worldwide, 2012 was among the 10 warmest years on record according to the 2012 State of the Climate report released online today by the American Meteorological Society (AMS). The peer-reviewed report, with scientists from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, NC serving as lead editors, was compiled by 384 scientists from 52 countries (highlights, full report). It provides a detailed update on global climate indicators, notable weather events, and other data collected by environmental monitoring stations and instruments on land, sea, ice, and sky. "

Looks like .gov has launched a revised website dealing with climage issues. Links to sections entitled: News and Features; Maps and Data; Supporting Decisions AND Teaching Climate. They advertise this last section as containing "Reviewed resources for teaching about climate and energy "
