Scientific Analysis

Graphics and Data

  • http://www.grida.no/climate/vital/index.htm The United Nations Environment Programme. These are a few years out of date, but it’s a good collection. The graphics are medium / low resolution – not ideal for printing.
  • http://amap.no/acia/ This is the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme’s (an intergovernmental agency)Arctic Climate Impact Assessmentâ€? page. Not only is a lot of the arctic research and reports here, but they also have tons of medium and high-resolution graphics available for download, which include a lot of general, non-arctic specific things.
  • http://www.stabilisation2005.com/ This is the digital archive of the major EU science conference on “Avoiding dangerous climate changeâ€?. There are tons of slideshows (from very technical to very basic) and reports from the conference that can be downloaded. The focus is on the likelihood of various scenarios of climate change and the ecological and social impacts of various levels of climate change (i.e., 1°C vs. 6°C).
  • http://www.eia.doe.gov/iea/ US Energy Information Administration, tons of data and graphics about how much emissions various industries make. Lots of detailed, industry (e.g., coal vs. oil) specific information.
  • http://cdiac.ornl.gov/ US Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center. Vastly huge amounts of data and graphics about emissions rates and long-term trends from all over the world. This is more general carbon pollution information (as compared to the EIA’s website). http://cdiac.ornl.gov/trends/trends.htm is a good starting point for navigating this huge site.
