BGSU Research
Did you know that the following people have investigated topics related to climate change?
When did it begin?
Interested in the history of climate change research?
I recommend Spencer Weart's book (see below), "The Discovery of Global Warming."
Weart has also created a website entitled, The Discovery of Global Warming. The site has scholarly essays supplementing his book, and providing "A hypertext history of how scientists came to (partly) understand what people are doing to cause climate change."
Overview
This LibGuide is an introduction to the topic of Climate Change for BGSU students.
Ease yourself into this topic by starting with the Free Download booklet to the left, or perhaps click through one of the Online Exhibits listed under The Basics tab.
Carbon Dioxide - What Is The Optimum Atmospheric Level?
Over twenty years (June 23,1988) ago, James Hansen, the director of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and a climate studies scientist, brought the topic of Climate Change to the attention of the U.S. Congress, the media, and the public. A recent scientific paper which Mr. Hansen co-authored, states, "If humanity wishes to preserve a planet similar to that on which civilization developed and to which life on Earth is adapted, paleoclimate evidence and ongoing climate change suggest that CO2 will need to be reduced from its current 385 ppm to at most 350 ppm."
The 350 organization supports carbon dioxide at 350 parts per million (ppm) as a safe target for the earth's atmosphere. A short video in suport of the mission of 350, is below.
Is Climate Change the same as Global Warming?
