Climate Change and Miscellaneous
Real Climate: A site by scientists for scientists, the media, and the public. If you really want to understand climate change and global warming, this is the place to start.
Global Warming Art: numerous images that illustrate the (potential) impacts of ongoing and future climate change.
Modern Mass Extinction: Sobering. This quote from the main page of this site says it all, "Human beings are currently causing the greatest mass extinction of species since the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. If present trends continue one half of all species of life on earth will be extinct in less than 100 years." How can you not be enraged?
California Climate Change Portal: The State of California maintains this site, which has lots of useful links and information.
