Green house effect

Carbon Dioxide from Power Plants

Carbon Dioxide Emitted from Cars 

Carbon Dioxide from Airplanes

Carbon Dioxide from Buildings

Methane 

Water Vapor in the Atmosphere Increasing

Nitrous oxide

Carbon in Atmosphere and Ocean

Tundra

› Plant and animal range shifts and population changes

› Coral reef bleaching

› Downpours, heavy snowfalls, and flooding

› Droughts and fires

› Heat waves and periods of unusually warm weather

› Ocean warming

› sea-level rise and coastal flooding

› Glaciers melting

› Arctic and Antarctic warming Spreading diseases

› Earlier spring arrival

Polar bears starting to turn up drowned and at some point will become extinct due to global warming.”

“Intellectually Exhilarating! An Inconvenient Truth is a necessary film”

A.O. Scott, New York Times

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it” Upton Sinclair

Natural phenomenon

Not man made

“Some parts of Jupiter are now as much as six degrees Celsius warmer than just a few years ago.” Imke de Pater and Philip Marcus of University of California, Berkeley

Carbon dioxide "ice caps" near Mars's south pole had been diminishing for three summers in a row. 2005 data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions

“A simultaneous rising in temperature on both Mars and Earth suggest that climate change is indeed a natural phenomenon as opposed to being man-made. Habibullo Abdussamatov, head of space research at St. Petersburg's Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory in Russia

Storms on Saturn indicate a climate change occurring on that planet. NASA

“Global warming may raise the oceans 23 feet, submerging cities from Sidney to New York.”Jonathan Gregory, climate scientist at the University of Reading in England

Climate change is a global issue, but its impacts and how it is perceived differ greatly around the world. German student Simone Lepper shares her experiences teaching climate change in Germany, Estonia, and Cameroon.

January 15, 2008...The year 2007 tied 1998 as the second warmest year on record; 2005 being the warmest year. An analysis by NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS).

June 21, 2007...China is now producing the most CO2 of any country in the world, surpassing the United States. However, per capita the U.S is emitting over 4 times as much as China, 21 tons per American vs 5 tons per Chinese.
