CLEAN: Climate Literacy & Energy Awareness Network
CLEAN's primary goal is to steward a broad collection of educational
resources and foster a supporting community to help facilitate students,
teachers, and citizens becoming climate literate and informed about
"the climate's influence on you and society and your influence on
climate."

The Copenhagen Diagnosis
A group of leading climate scientists, including Scripps Oceanography climate researcher Richard Somerville,
issued a report in November 2009 that concludes scientists have underestimated the pace and extent of global warming. The report — titled "The Copenhagen Diagnosis" — documents key findings in climate change science since the
publication of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report in 2007. The scientists found that global ice-sheets are melting at an increased rate, Arctic sea-ice is
disappearing much faster than recently projected, and future sea-level
rise is now expected to be much higher than previously forecast. Download the full report here.
Rutgers Initiative on Climate Change, Social Policy, and Politics
The Initiative on Climate Change, Social Policy, and Politics (CCSPP) functions to marshal the
resources of Rutgers University in the social sciences to address the challenges posed by global
warming, greenhouse gasses and the reduction of carbon emissions. Its mission is to conduct
research, education and public service to better understand how both state and national
political institutions can respond to these challenges.

Climate Timeline Information Tool
Weather and climate are always in flux, always changing. At times the changes can be sudden and dramatic, while on other occasions the changes are subtle and occur over long periods of time. What are the primary causes and effects of these changes? How do they relate to our everyday lives and to human history? The National Geophysical Data Center explores these and other questions in the Climate TimeLine.

Both present the current international scientific consensus on the pace, causes, and consequences of global climate change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will release its next report on the state of climate change science in spring 2007.)
