NASA Fact Sheet: Global Warming
HTML NASA-Global Warming
NASA scientists provide a short summary of the global warming problem and introduce several of the concepts addressed in the Internet Companion.

SECTION ONE

Concentration of CO2 around the globe
GIF NOAA Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory
The Carbon Cycle Group of the Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) provides concentrations of CO2 at four sites since 1974. This information can be used to see how the increase over time in CO2 concentration is fairly uniform around the globe when averaged over an entire year.

SECTION TWO

Current Utah Weather
HTML Department of Meteorology
Further information on the weather and climate of Salt Lake City and other locations is made available by a number of agencies.

SECTION THREE

Fig 1.5 Global Surface Temperature Anomalies
GIF Global Surface Temperature Anomalies from 1860-1999
Globally averaged surface temperature anomalies from 1860-1999.

Global Climate Perspectives System
HTML NOAA/NCDC
Interactive display of climatological data for the globe or specific sectors of the world are available. Time series of temperature and precipitation records are available.
