Site of the Day for Tuesday, February 4, 2003
Climate Change -- "Curious, Confused, Concerned?"
The Birch Aquarium at the world-renowned Scripps Institution of
Oceanography, at the University of California, San Diego, presents an
informative website on global climate change. Gentle Members considering
the possibility that there may be more to the issue than just hot air, will
find introductory material at the site.
"Climate shapes our lives and structures our world. Climate determines how
we live, when and where food can be grown, and where the different
ecosystems that support life on the planet thrive. As a result, any change
in climate will affect each and every one of us. Many scientists are
concerned that global warming, from an increase in carbon dioxide and other
gases in the atmosphere, may change Earth=92s climate considerably within
the next century." - from the website
Not intended for the committed environmentalist, the site offers an
elementary overview on such topics as how ancient climates are determined,
the greenhouse effect, changes in climate, man's role in climate change and
the possible consequences.
