Websites for information on global warming ?

Question

I need some info for an essay on global warming such as the consequences, causes, solutions etc. Ive seen a few but they provide different information on every website i go on to :S.

Also it would be better if it wasnt too scientific please

Answer 1

Here is a link to a documentary from the discovery channel on global warming. It's pretty straight forward and it should give you some relevant info.

Answer 2

Its a myth, why not write the essay on how governments are lying to the pubic to slowly increase fuel prices.

The earth naturally cools and warms itself, remember the ice age.

Answer 3

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have produced a Summary for Policy Makers.  This contains what you need in fairly simple terms and it is authoritative.

Answer 4

http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?F the rest of the URL is useAction=Minority.Blogs&ContentRecord_i and then d=f80a6386-802a-23ad-40c8-3c63dc2d02cb just piece it all together.

Answer 5

this is a really good one http://www.iceagenow.com

Let me start off by saying we (my family and I) live 100% off of the grid and are completely self-sufficient with a 0% Carbon footprint. I believe this is the first step anyone can make “help the environment”. Once you convert your own life style to a greener more eco friendly route, you can start helping others.

We definitely didn't start global warming, but we definitely do contribute to it now.

Natural gas (or Methane along with other thanes) for example, is completely a natural contributer to global warming and is derived pretty much the same way as oil. ie. Matter (animal, plant etc) decomposes over time resulting in a anaerobic (hope I spelled that right) decay of non-fossil organic material / gas (natural gas or methane).

One problem with global warming is that the concept is so vague in the minds of the people. The critical interpretation is basically how it’s explained in school and the news. However most of the public see global warming connected with the ozone and pollutants which cause harmful greenhouse gasses, etc. therefore investigating and fighting for things like alternative energy (ie. Solar, wind, hydrogen, ethanol, biodiesel, etc)

Greenhouse gases are real and do contribute to global warming. Think of the different gas layers like ozone (o3) that circumference the globe as the clear plastic on a greenhouse. Longer rays of light from the Sun go in and reflect off different thermal masses bouncing back and creating shorter lengths of energy that cannot exist the plastic barrier. These beams then just continue to bounce around inside the green house until they’re finally absorbed completely (some do escape but very few), thereby warming the greenhouse greatly even in cold temperatures.

Basically there are 2 ways that this reaction (or lack of) affects the planet. Global warming and global cooling.

1. as we add to the gases in the stratosphere, where the ozone layer is (Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc), we add to the plastic of the greenhouse, trapping more short wave length energy and heating the earth more.

2. as we deplete the ozone (with chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs), we allow more long wave length energy, which bounces back out to space without heating any thermal masses on earth, thereby cooling the planet.

It’s pretty easy to see the results..

Melting ice sheets & glaciers

Floods & droughts

Great hurricanes & cyclones

Seasonal extremes

Seasonal phenomena’s

Species extinction

New & resurgent diseases

There are many ways to stop both global warming and cooling from accruing or at least slow them down until we can discover a way to reverse it, but Stop burning fossil fuels is the biggest.

I currently own 2 converted h2 vehicles which run on 100% hydrogen and 1 EV (electric vehicle), not to mention our home is completely off the grid, using alternative energy (solar, wind, etc)

If you interested I offer several DIY alternative guides to walk you step by step threw Greener living, how to run your car on alternative fuels and being self-sufficient, at agua-luna com or

www agua-luna com

Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at  www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

I don't know about scientific, but you could go to Wikipedia and type in "Global Warming"

Good Luck!

Answer 8

darn, i REALLY want to attach my powerpoint presentaion that i made about global warming, but it wont let me...

Oh well...

Global warming is basically in its most simple form pollution that has created a big gas blanket (CO2 n stuff like that) around the world and is basically trapping the earths heat and the sun's heat. It is making the icecaps melt and that makes the sea water rise... eek! :S...

I know what you need is website adresses but to be quite frank i dont have any :(

Answer 9

The trouble with using the internet to gather information on Global warming is that this is one of those subjects that seems to attract a lot of conflicting information. Some of this "information" seems to have been written with a hidden agenda. You should be very careful.

I personally recommend  the real climate site (link below). This site is run by climate scientists and stays well clear of politics. It can get a bit technical at time, but it also has some good none technical summaries of various issues.

All very useful / highly relevant info.

Answer 11

Some web resources: The first is on the history of the discovery of global warming. The second is New Scientist magazine’s resource on climate change.

If you have a real interest its always worth browsing the ScienceDaily website that summarises a vast number of the science papers that are published each week.

Answer 12

you only have to look at what happened in the last 65 million years.

of that time period the earth has been hotter for 95% if it

only the last 3 million years have been a ice age.
