Global Warming Web Links

The following links are put together in association with a course I am taking with other faculty and staff at Oakton on global warming and climate change. These are links to information regarding the science of global warming, the political controversies surrounding global warming, and sites that purport to offer steps to address the problems of global warming. Of course, with this topic it seems almost impossible to separate out the science from political advocacy. Most sites that provide information about the science of global warming (supporting it or debunking it) have a political or action oriented agenda of some sort.
