        Exploratorium: Global Climate Change

Today's site offers a wide-ranging exhibit on the earth's changing climate.
Gentle Subscribers will discover an extensive presentation, whose broad
scope provides a fascinating view of climate trends through geologic time.

"At this Web site, you can explore scientific data relating to the
atmosphere, the oceans, the areas covered by ice and snow, and the living
organisms in all these domains. You'll also get a sense of how scientists
study natural phenomena -- how researchers gather evidence, test theories,
and come to conclusions. " - from the website

This informative site features an overview of scientific research on the
atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, and biosphere, focusing on climate
change. Each of these sections is explored in detail -- the biosphere
component is spotlighted by a case study on the effects of climate change
on animal population, while the hydrosphere highlights alterations in ocean
temperatures with a "near real time" diagram. With a liberal use of
colorful charts, graphics, glossaries for each section and responses to
critical questions, the presentation achieves a riveting clarity on the
pressing concerns of climate change.

Stride to the website for a comprehensive exhibition on climate change and
its ramifications at:
