The scientists of the British Antarctic Survey have developed a layer which details how they monitor and measure the effects of climate change in Antarctica, featuring stunning images that show the retreat of the ice from this environmentally-sensitive continent. http://earth.google.com/outreach |

The World is Flat 3.0 (video 40min)
http://mitworld.mit.edu/video/519/ The World is Flat 3.0 “If we don’t find a cleaner, more non-emitting way to power their dreams, we’re going to burn up, choke up, heat up and smoke up this planet so much faster than even Al Gore predicts.” Friedman scoffs at those who claim “a green revolution is going on,” calling it instead a green party, entailing no real sacrifice or pain. He says the only hope will be a “disruptive breakthrough” that brings a completely different mix of standards and taxes.” Friedman’s new mantra is, “Change your leaders, not your light bulbs.” Without new leaders to rewrite our laws and trigger the innovations, “we are cooked.” Green is the new red, white and blue 40 min presentation from Tom Friedman at an MIT event.

Earths Vegetation, Study
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/06/0605_030605_climatechange.html Climate Change Upped Earth's Vegetation, Study Finds For most of the world's plant life, the effect of the pace of climate change over the past two decades has been productive, according to an analysis of climate and satellite data collected between 1982 and 1999. The research, reported in the June 6 issue of Science, addresses the question of how global vegetation has responded to changes in precipitation, temperature, and cloud cover patterns. Such climate factors determine how vegetation grows. |

You must tackle climate change and stay popular enough with the voters to remain in office. The producers' primary goal was to make a fun, challenging game. At times it was necessary to strike a compromise between strict scientific accuracy and playability. For this reason, Climate Challenge should not be taken as a serious climate change prediction. |

Climate change : Teaching and Learning Scotland
http://www.ltscotland.org.uk/sustainabledevelopment/climatechange/ Climate change : Teaching and Learning Scotland Our world is warming faster than at any time in the last 10,000 years and human activity is to blame. In Scotland, 2006 was the warmest year on record. Every day millions of tonnes of greenhouse gases are emitted into the Earth’s atmosphere, driving global warming. The actions that you take have an impact. You can make a difference. What happens in the next few years is crucial. If we keep polluting and acting like nothing is wrong then dangerous climate change is inevitable. If we take action to tackle global warming, lower our carbon footprint, and tell people about climate change and what they can do to fight it, then we can reduce our impact on Planet Earth. |

An Equation for Climate Change
http://tinyurl.com/3x9hgd An Equation for Climate Change So how simple can you make a model that contains the basic greenhouse physics? Pretty simple actually. You need to account for the solar radiation coming in (including the impact of albedo), the longwave radiation coming from the surface (which depends on the temperature) and some absorption/radiation (the 'emissivity') of longwave radiation in the atmosphere (the basic greenhouse effect). The Maths Department will enjoy the information on this site. |

Climate Change: A guide information and disinformation
http://digbig.com/4tcbm Climate Change: A guide to the information and disinformation by Shirl Kennedy, Senior Editor What we have here is basically a nicely organized collection of annotated links to (mostly) online resources, from basic science to government agencies and organizations, to research institutions, environmental groups and more. Says Tompkins — in his outstanding and highly recommended daily newsletter, Al’s Morning Meeting — “I especially appreciate the list of 50 ‘really serious scientist sources on climate (who would probably be glad to talk to a journalist).’ The list includes phone numbers and e-mails for many of the sources. What a great service for journalism.” And for anyone else doing research on this issue who would benefit from two-way communication with a vetted source. |

Climate change: what is climate change?
http://www.defra.gov.uk/environment/climatechange/about/index.htm Climate change: what is climate change? Climate refers to the average weather experienced over a long period. This includes temperature, wind and rainfall patterns. The climate of the Earth is not static, and has changed many times in response to a variety of natural causes. The Earth has warmed by 0.74°C over the last hundred years. Around 0.4°C of this warming has occurred since the 1970s. |

Climate Change in Scotland
http://www.ltscotland.org.uk/climatechange Climate Change in Scotland Climate change is recognised as the most serious environmental threat to our planet. Unless we can reduce reliance on fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas, the threat posed by increasingly unpredictable and violent weather will continue to grow. This site has been produced on behalf of the Scottish Executive by Learning and Teaching Scotland. Whilst it will be of interest to everyone, it is aimed at young people aged between 9 and 14 (levels C/D/E of the Scottish curriculum) to inform and raise awareness of some of the key issues surrounding climate change and the effect on Scotland. |

Climate Change page at Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change Climate Change page at Wikipedia Climate change refers to the variation in the Earth's global climate or in regional climates over time. It describes changes in the variability or average state of the atmosphere over time scales ranging from decades to millions of years. These changes can be caused by processes internal to the Earth, external forces (e.g. variations in sunlight intensity) or, more recently, human activities. VERY COMPREHENSIVE |

http://adaptation.nrcan.gc.ca/posters/guides/index_e.php Climate Change in Canada : Teachers Guide Starting in 1999, the Climate Change Action Fund (CCAF) sponsored the development of a series of regional posters on the general science and regional impacts of climate change. Led, or co-led, by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), the development of these posters was done in close collaboration with provincial and territorial counterparts and stakeholders. NRCan is grateful to its partners who are listed at the back of this guide. This guide is intended to accompany the poster series, and material found in this guide comes directly from the posters. |
