Climate Impacts Map
An interactive map of early warning signs of climate change. Click
on the map in your region, and you’ll link into a description
of climate change indicators in that area. Includes a downloadable
teacher’s guide to help students work with the map.
Contributions
to Global Warming
This map redefines the relative area of countries and regions
of the world using historical carbon dioxide from fossil fuel
consumption.

Contains a calculator that determines the carbon dioxide footprint
for individuals or organizations, as well as other useful tools.
ClimateWatch
Audio series exploring the Earth's atmosphere, climate change,
and global warming.
NOAA
Photograph and Image Collection
The NOAA photograph and image collection has been produced to
help those interested in studying our natural world learn more
about our oceans, the atmosphere, and the history of the pioneers
who began the study of our environment in the United States.

CLIMGRAPH
Educational graphics on Global Climate Change and the Greenhouse
Effect. This site can help teachers with more than 50 figures
to graphically describe solar energy, the solar system, greenhouse
gases, how the earth's greenhouse effect works, layers of the
earth's atmosphere, human activities that contribute to global
warming, and historical changes in carbon dioxide since the Industrial
Revolution, world population growth, a NOAA Carbon Dioxide Monitoring
Station, Global Warming Computer Projections, the Potential Consequences
of Global Warming, and global climate change comics.
The
Personal Greenhouse Gas Calculator
EPA's Personal Greenhouse Gas Calculator helps individuals estimate
their household greenhouse gas emissions. It also shows users
how they can reduce their emissions while lowering their energy
and waste disposal costs.
The
Global Warming Wheel Card
This hand-held tool allows users to estimate their household greenhouse
gas emissions and how to reduce them. One side of the wheel illustrates
how much carbon dioxide is produced by day-to-day activities,
while the other side shows how much emissions can be reduced by
various changes in behavior.
