Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC)
CDIAC's data holdings include records of the concentrations of carbon dioxide and other radiatively active gases in the atmosphere; the role of the terrestrial biosphere and the oceans in the biogeochemical cycles of greenhouse gases; emissions of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere; long-term climate trends; the effects of elevated carbon dioxide on vegetation; and the vulnerability of coastal areas to rising sea level.

NASA: Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS)
AIRS uses cutting-edge infrared technology to create 3-dimensional maps of air and surface temperature, water vapor, and cloud properties. With 2378 spectral channels, AIRS has a spectral resolution more than 100 times greater than previous IR sounders and provides more accurate information on the vertical profiles of atmospheric temperature and moisture.

National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration
How do we know that our climate has changed? How will we know how and why climate will have changed in the coming years, decades, and even centuries? These are two of the many climate-related questions scientists in NOAA have dedicated themselves to addressing.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service: Climate Change
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service conserves our nation’s heritage of wild things and wild places, which are threatened by forces such as habitat destruction and fragmentation, invasive species, and water scarcity. Now, worldwide scientific consensus tells us that human activity is changing the climate system itself. As climate changes, the abundance and distribution of wildlife and fish will also change. Some species will adapt successfully to an abruptly warming world; many will struggle; and others will disappear.

NOAA: Carbon Tracker
A system to keep track of carbon dioxide uptake and release at the Earth's surface over time. The new release of Carbon Tracker (2008) includes observations and flux estimates through 2007. The addition of several new observational data sets we feel results in more accurate estimates of fluxes.

USGS: Climate Change - The Science of Impacts
Climate change involves long-term alteration in the characteristic weather conditions of a region, such as changes in precipitation and temperature. Recent studies have found not only that climate change has its own particular impacts, but that temperature changes can exacerbate the effects of more traditional disturbances, like air pollution, drought, or habitat loss.

Climate Change in New England
New England winters have warmed about 4 degrees Fahrenheit over the last 40 years. While it is difficult to “see” the footprint of man-made global warming in smaller geographic regions, scientists strongly suspect some of New England’s warming is probably due to the worldwide phenomenon.

Nature Conservancy Study Predicts State-by-State Warming
What will temperatures be like in your state in 100 years? If current trends continue, chances are they’ll be much hotter than they are today — especially if you live in the American Midwest. A new analysis of U.S. climate projections from The Nature Conservancy finds that temperatures in the worst-hit states could be up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than present-day levels by the year 2100.

U.S. Dept. of State Climate Change Page
The United States is taking a leading role in addressing climate change by advancing an ever-expanding suite of measures. We have initiated a number of polices and partnerships that span a wide range of initiatives from reducing our emissions at home to developing transformational low-carbon technologies to improving observations systems that will help us better understand and address the possible impacts of climate change.
