Where to go to learn about global warming

Over on the top of the right-side menu bar are the FM Reference Pages.  There is a new one on Science, Nature, and Geopolitics, with information about global warming — more generally, about climate change.  Here is what you will see today.  New material is added as discovered.  Please suggest links by posting them in the comments.  Here is a copy of the current page.
