I Need help with science project!!!!! What are some good websites to go to to find info on global warming??

Question

i need to find info on global warming for my science project. I am making a poster on it. Please help!!!

Answer 1

Before people start talking about "The Inconvenient Truth", here is a video providing the other sides of the debate. I reccomend that for your report,you show both sides, instead of one side. There is quite a bit about geology and earth science.

I recommend you watch it. Make sure you keep an open mind.

By providing both sides of the debate, you will give an accurate report, because nothing has been proven yet. Another thing you should look at is the IPCC report, given by the Intergovenmental Panel on Climate Change. It is a bit of higher level reading, if you are able to understand it. If you read this, make sure you watch the video also.

Answer 2

Global warming is a complex issue.

Reading the popular media can lead a person to conclude that "global warming" is:
o- either a hoax to promote business opportunities, politicians agenda and scientists grant money.....

OR

o- a problem related to overpopulation, industrialization and fossil fuels whose solution options lie in solar power, wind power, geothermal power and nuclear fusion....

However, the main cause may be altogether different:

NASA has released never-before-seen images that show the sun's magnetic field is much more turbulent and dynamic than previously known. The international spacecraft Hinode, formerly known as Solar B, took the images. Hinode was launched Sept. 23 to study the sun's magnetic field and its explosive energy. National Aeronautics and Space Administration scientists said the spacecraft's uninterrupted high-resolution observations of the sun are expected to have an impact on solar physics comparable to the Hubble Space Telescope's impact on astronomy. "For the first time, we are now able to make out tiny granules of hot gas that rise and fall in the sun's magnetized atmosphere," said Dick Fisher, director of NASA's Heliophyics Division. "These images will open a new era of study on some of the sun's processes that effect Earth, astronauts, orbiting satellites and the solar system." Hinode is a collaborative mission led by
the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and includes the European Space Agency and Britain's Particle Physics Astronomy Research
Council. NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., managed the development of the Hinode's scientific instrumentation provided by industry and federal agencies.

>>> as regards alternative energy methods, I favor development of the technology for nuclear fusion using lunar Helium 3

Answer 3

Below is a pretty good read on how global warming science is being conducted.

Answer 4

You can find the comparisions of carbon emissions from different direct/indirect causes here :

This gives you idea what can be cut to reduce co2 levels.

This is the best, but it's not as easy to read.
