Climate Change

Climates can change due to both natural factors and human (or anthropogenic) influences. The websites listed on this page span the range of past climate changes (as extracted from palaeoclimate records) and present-day conditions, to adaptation and mitigation strategies and attribution studies. Most of the sites are either governmental or academic in nature. Resources for educators and kids are also included.
