Global Warming Basics What it is, how it's caused, and what needs to be done to stop it. FAQ: Answers to questions including: What causes global warming? Is there really cause for serious concern? How can we cut global warming pollution?
Consequences of Global Warming
Overview: A hotter planet means dirtier air and water, more severe floods and droughts, more wildfires and other serious consequences.
Trout in Trouble The Impacts of Global Warming on Trout in the Interior West Issue Papers: Global warming is the single greatest threat to the survival of trout in America's interior west. If nothing is done to reduce human-produced greenhouse gas emissions -- the primary culprit behind global warming -- trout habitat throughout the Rocky Mountain region could be reduced by 50 percent or more by the end of the century, bringing fewer opportunities for anglers to enjoy sportfishing and resulting in serious economic consequences for those who depend on the fishing, recreation and tourism industry for their livelihoods.
The Cost of Climate Change What We'll Pay if Global Warming Continues Unchecked Report: New research shows that if present trends continue, the total cost of global warming will be as high as 3.6 percent of gross domestic product (GDP). Four global warming impacts alone -- hurricane damage, real estate losses, energy costs, and water costs -- will come with a price tag of 1.8 percent of U.S. GDP, or almost $1.9 trillion annually (in today's dollars) by 2100. The longer we wait, the more painful -- and expensive -- the consequences will be.
