Resources
http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/basicinfo.html
From Mr. Craig Peck:
I do not have time to do complete research but there were a few things I could get my hands on quickly. I will try to answer some of the student questions and provide resources for the students to research.
I cannot address the health or social consequences.
I have attached 3 things that may be of interest.
1. The official American Association of petroleum geologists position paper.
2. The introduction and overview to a book published by AAPG -- Gerhard et al. (2001) pages 2 and 3, which diagram timescale of events may be useful.
3. The Spring 2007 Correlator. Pages 4 and 5 have some talking points that the students might be interested in.
Additional Web references:
Arctic Warming Report Flawed (this is not "climate-gate").
http://www.aapg.org/explorer/2005/01jan/gerhard.cfm
This shows, among other things, carbon dioxide levels versus temperature on a geologic timescale.
http://www2.brevard.edu/reynoljh/
Jim Reynolds, a geology professor at Brevard College in North Carolina, believes that CO2 will cause climate change, making it COLDER.
I suspect that the best Web references for the students to use are www.aapg.org. My search of their sites using the Google search engine provided substantial hits.
