Against Climate Change.
This article, at Buzzle.com, explores the events ahead of the G8 summit. The main point is that, without everyone involved agreeing, the plans to address climate change will falter.

This is a useful website mostly about solutions for climate change and also with a lot of links about evidence of global warming affects
This article discusses the other ways of climate change as opposed to green house gases and CO2. It states that some particles from fumes and fires land on snow (dirty snow). These particles absorb more light and heat causing the snow to melt faster. There is also a link to the debate page where you can duscuss the issue further with others.
