"A hypertext history of how scientists came to (partly) understand what people are doing to change the Earth's climate."
By Spencer Weart, Director of the Center for History of Physics, American Institute of Physics.

Exploratorium - Global Climate Change: Research Explorer
"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. Youíll also get a sense of how scientists study natural phenomenaóhow researchers gather evidence, test theories, and come to conclusions."

Global Warming: Focus on the Future
"This web site is based on the traveling exhibition, Global Warming: Understanding the Forecast, which [was] on display at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History."

GreenHouse Gas Online
"The primary aim of Greenhouse Gas Online is to provide a freely available and up to date resource dedicated to greenhouse gas news and scientific publications...The site catalogues the greenhouse gas related articles published in over 100 peer reviewed journals from around the world. Only articles for which the abstracts are freely available are included and the site already has links to many hundreds."
