Global Warming
Global Warming and Energy
Redwood National Park
In Redwood forests, trees condense fog into precipitation and provide necessary water to forest species during dry summers. Recently, researchers have found that the number of foggy days along the Northern California coast has declined by 24 percent, likely due at least in part to climate change. With less fog, the forest ecosystem will have less water to sustain it through dry summers.

Great Smokey Mountains National Park
Global warming will alter the flow of Appalachian streams, causing lower average flows and greater floods, both of which threaten native fish. Longer and hotter summers will increase drought and wildfires in Great Smokey National Park, increase stresses on trees, and cause plant and animal species to shift to higher latitudes or altitudes.

Everglades National Park
Everglades National Park lies at or close to the level of the sea and is vulnerable to sea level rise. A sea level rise of just 2 feet would transform up to 50 percent of the park's freshwater marsh, causing erosion and devastating ecosystems along the coastline.

Yosemite National Park
In the Yosemite Valley the mean minimum temperature has increased by nine degrees over the past century. Warming over the past several decades has reduced the amount of snow on the ground each spring and changed the timing and flow of western rivers. These changes are impacting trees, meadows, glaciers and mountain species in Yosemite National Park.

Glacier National Park
Warming temperatures means less snow, and more rain, which leads to earlier snowmelt and spring runoff. The National Park Service estimates that spring runoff in the Pacific Northwest now occurs two weeks earlier than in the past, and that, over time, will likely mean an increase in flooding. It also means less water later in the year, and the eventual drying out of many rivers, something that would have far-reaching effects on the ecosystem.

Yellowstone National Park
As conditions become warmer and drier and precipitation declines, geysers in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem will likely erupt less frequently. Research by the U.S. Geological Survey found that in recent years the time between Old Faithful's eruptions increased by 15 minutes, in part because of changes in precipitation patterns. Other geysers have experienced similar trends. Extended drought could result in longer intervals between eruptions, and perhaps even cessation of activity in some geysers.

What You Can Do
Since the G8 have totally failed to act on climate change, it's even more important for us all to take action as individuals. YOU can help turn things around. Join the global movement to save the climate.

Copenhagen Climate Summit
This year's United Nations Climate Conference in Copenhagen is absolutely vital to the future of the world's climate. The Summit will take place from December 7-18, 2009. On the brink of runaway climate change, it's time for world leaders to lead, and set us on the path to a low carbon economy.

Climate Lawsuit
Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, and the city of Boulder, Colorado are suing two U.S. government agencies for providing financial assistance to oil and other fossil fuel projects without first evaluating the projects' global warming impacts on the United States.

Our work
Climate change is a priority issue for us here at Greenpeace. We realized years ago that it has the potential to wipe out most of the gains the environmental movement has made in other areas. Disruptions to ecosystems will likely harm everything from minke whales to coral reefs to polar bears. Whole forests will be lost, and hundreds of thousands of species will become extinct. Climate change will also bring devastation to people and communities, especially some of the world's poorest.

Climate voices
The real meaning of climate change can not be fully grasped from scientific charts and equations alone; one needs to hear the stories of those who are living through it, grappling with its implications, and struggling to find ways to halt it. Part of what we do is to give a voice to these first hand witnesses of climate change. Here is what some of them have to say:

Ocean circulation
The water in our world's oceans is always moving – pulled by tides, blown by waves, and slowly circulating around the globe by the force of the Great Ocean Conveyor Belt (aka thermohaline circulation). The Conveyor is powered by differences is water temperature and salinity, and one of its most well know parts, the Gulf Stream, is what gives Europe it's relatively mild climate.
