The Cool Campaign arose from a concern over the very real threat of global climate warming and the dramatic impact it is expected to have on our global environment and our everyday lives.

Here are a few resources about Global Warming worth exploring:

• An Inconvenient Truth - The website to support the movie. Has a great Take Action section.
• Union of Concerned Scientists - Global Warming: An ongoing discussion of the science behind global warming, and references to "solutions", things you can do to help stop global warming.
• RealClimate: A commentary site (blog) on climate science by working climate scientists for the interested public and journalists.
• Climate History: Written by a physicist (not a climate scientist), this offers a fascinating history of how scientists came to understand the man-made causes of climate change, and how long it took.
  
• IPCC Report: The definitive report on climate change. It is the 2001 document of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, divided into four main parts. One part, The Scientific Basis is over 800 pages long. Each chapter of this part has a 2-3 page Executive Summary, each of which is worth reading (example: Ch3).
• Lester Brown's Plan B provides a comprehensive blueprint for responding to global climate change. A must read publication from the Earth Policy Institute.
