Climate

One of the most dramatic environmental changes in the 20th century was global warming. This tendency has not been mitigated in this new century. If we say that there are no national boundaries among environmental problems, then, there requires global attention and cooperation in global warming particularly. Along with the accelerated development of industrialization and modernization, the effect of greenhouse has had more impact on eastern Asian countries. Because of the density of population along coast line in these countries, eastern Asian countries would be the biggest victim of the outcome of global warming.

On the web:

• Global Warming Links

  This is a hub for valuable web links. The page above gives lots of web links about global warming.

• Global Climate Changes

  This is a good website for common knowledge about global climate. It's particularly interesting because it is a publication of the American Petroleum Institute. Older students might be asked to analyze its content and compare same with the WWF website to see if there's a slant.
