This section is devoted to the science and study of climate change.

The research for determining, predicting, and understand the root of climate change and its impacts start with these sites.

EOS-WEBSTER	UNH's nationally recognized department hosting massive amounts of scientific data on the environmental science of climate impacts.
NECIA	This is the site for the Northeast Climate Impacts Assessment. The site hosts links to the hard-science information.
Carbon Coalition	This is a topical list of issues related to global climate change and energy efficiency.
NH DES	A good summary of environmental concerns raised by green house gas emissions from the NH Department of Environmental Services.
Summary	This summary relates to a huge consensus report recently released by the IPCC on climate change and global impacts. The report has received significant coverage in the media.
Press	Report indicating the release and concern that the findings are too hopeful.
DSM Report	A summary of simple energy efficiency measures and the benefits from the ORNL, these measures are known as DSM (Demand Side Management), meaning measures that are implemented on the demand side of energy supply ("demanders" are the users). Anytime you see DSM, think of the users (customers) as the target. Supply-side are the producers (eg power plants and utilities).


Major Web Portals:
ORNL	The Oak Ridge National Laboratory - the "research and development" arm of the Federal Government's Department of Energy.
DOE	The US Department of Energy. Here are other links related to: Energy Efficiency, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Financing,
