Question:

I am a student and have to write a cause and effect paper on global warming and the greenhouse effect. I was just wondering if you had any information you could email me about these two things.

Response:

Hello, the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) offers many Science Briefs related to Climate Change that you may find interesting. Please see: http://www.giss.nasa.gov/research/briefs/ I would also recommend visiting the Global Change Master Directory's Global Warming FAQ.

http://gcmd.nasa.gov/Resources/FAQs/glob_warmfaq.html. NASA's "Eyes on the Earth' web site is another excellent resource. http://climate.jpl.nasa.gov/
