Global Warming: Undo It A major national campaign, spearheaded by Environmental Defense, to increase public awareness about the dangers of global warming, to press political and other leaders in the U.S. for more aggressive action against global warming, and to win passage of the Climate Stewardship Act (S. 139) in Congress. The Environmental Defense team of global warming experts -- scientists, economists, attorneys, legislative specialists and more -- is working together with allied organizations to press for solutions to global warming, the most critical environmental issue threatening our planet. The Earth is heating up. By burning fossil fuels and clear-cutting forests, humans are adding carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping greenhouse gases to the atmosphere at a perilous rate. The consequences of global warming are potentially catastrophic. But there is hope. You can help to undo global warming. www.UndoIt.org |

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Recognizing the problem of potential global climate change, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988. It is open to all members of the UNEP and WMO. The role of the IPCC is to assess the scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant for the understanding of the risk of human-induced climate change. It does not carry out research nor does it monitor climate related data or other relevant parameters. It bases its assessment mainly on peer reviewed and published scientific/technical literature. www.ipcc.ch/ National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) The mission of the NSSL is to enhance the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) capabilities to provide accurate and timely forecasts and warnings of hazardous weather events (e.g., blizzards, ice storms, flash floods, tornadoes, lightning, etc.) www.nssl.noaa.gov National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration Mission Describe and predict changes in the Earth's environment, and conserve and wisely manage the Nation's coastal and marine resources. www.noaa.gov Questions and Answers About Thunderstorms www.nssl.noaa.gov/edu/storm Questions and Answers About Lightning www.nssl.noaa.gov/edu/ltg Questions and Answers About Tornadoes www.nssl.noaa.gov/edu/tornado Questions and Answers About Hurricanes www.nssl.noaa.gov/edu/hurricane/ |
