Global Warming: Early Warning Signs Map is a poster-sized map of the
world, which illustrates global climate change. It includes global
warming Fingerprints (places with direct manifestations of widespread
and long-term trend toward warmer global temperatures) and global
warming Harbingers (events that foreshadow the types of impacts likely
to become more frequent and widespread with continued warming). In
addition to viewing the entire global map, you can click on individual
continents to explore the current local indicators of global warming.
The map was produced by the Union of Concerned Scientists with six other
environmental groups.
The web site also includes a link to a Curriculum Guide to use with the
global map. The guides consists of four different activities that can be
downloaded using Adobe acrobat. The site also contains a link to the
findings from the first U.S. National Assessment of the Potential
Consequences of Climate Variability and Change.
