Basic Materials on Climate Change

Basic Presentation Materials on Climate Change

Recently, I've had the opportunity/privilege/chore of needing to compile some basic information on climate change for general presentation. I was surprised at how little information is available for non-specialists who still want to see hard data. I am posting the information in the hope that it will prove useful to others. As always, please contact me if you notice any problems or have any comments.

4. How does the greenhouse effect work?
5. What are the predicted impacts? Also, do scientists agree on all this?
6. How does the US compare?
7. OK, so I believe you. But what can be done?
