You can learn about the rising of the earth’s temperature over the last century and hear different views about whether or not the temperature of the earth has risen due to human use of fossil fuel energy. Information on this site explains what experts say we can do to prevent the catastrophic results that some scientists predict if global warming continues. In What’s Up with the Weather?, NOVA and FRONTLINE work together to investigate the science and politics of the controversial issue of global warming.There are interviews with both proponents and skeptics of global warming’s threat. There are images you can look at to see selected coasts in the aftermath of a melting. Compare a coast 20,000 years ago at the height of the Ice Age, when sea levels were 400 feet lower than today to the same coast today. See how we are using energy and learn how to make homes more energy efficient. Learn about alternatives to fossil fuels and the history that ice cores illuminate. You can share your views on global warming, read frequently asked questions and answers, and find related links. A link to teachers’ guides is included.
