The Climate Project's Google Earth Internship Projects
The Climate Project received funding from Google.org to hire interns to create maps specifically to help in communicating about climate change. You can download maps in Google Earth (a free program) or you can simply download the movies and incorporate them into your own lessons. Content includes maps showing surface temperature predictions through 2100, solar energy potential for the U.S., global and U.S. carbon emissions, and global oil consumption.
Climate Classroom: What's Up With Global Warming from the National Wildlife Federation
ClimateClassroom helps educate children about global climate change in accurate, developmentally appropriate, and hopeful ways. Sections designed for parents and K-12 educators provide talking points, attractive visuals, instructional guidelines, and helpful resource links for investigating the topic with children. An  additional section for school-age children offers quality learning experiences and realistic suggestions for becoming part of the global-warming solution.
Real Climate
"RealClimate is a commentary site on climate science by working climate scientists for the interested public and journalists. We aim to provide a quick response to developing stories and provide the context sometimes missing in mainstream commentary. The discussion here is restricted to scientific topics and will not get involved in any political or economic implications of the science. All posts are signed by the author(s), except 'group' posts which are collective efforts from the whole team. This is a moderated forum."
