David Suzuki Foundation: Climate change : Science of Climate Change
Global warming, a rise in the average global temperature, is one measure of climate change. And it has already begun - global average temperature has risen by 0.6 degrees Celsius since 1900, and the northern hemisphere is substantially warmer than at any point during the past 1000 years. Burning fossil ...

Climate Change: Impacts - Forest Impacts
Climatologists believe that a rise in global temperatures of 3.25 degrees Celsius would be equivalent to an ecological shift upwards of about 500 metres in altitude. Alpine species confined to the tops of low-lying mountains risk extinction as the habitat is taken over by forests. Example: ...

Super Scientists - Anders Celsius
Swedish astronomer, physicist and mathematician who is famous for the temperature scale he developed. Celsius was born in Uppsala where he succeeded his father as professor of astronomy in 1730. It was there also that he built Sweden's first observatory in 1741. Celsius' fixed scale for measuring temperature defines zero degrees as the temperature at which water freezes, and 100 ...
