A new global perspective
Article Abstract:
The Small Blue Planet CD-ROM software includes global satellite pictures, a political map, a time-orientation showing rotation from dark to light, a display of selected satellite images, and features the ability to magnify any global segment or change spin direction. This package is most suitable for classroom use, and supplemental materials are available. 3D Atlas is designed primarily for home use and includes environmental, physical and political globes, along with a statistics database whose information can be displayed in graphs or recombined.

Global warming: popular vision vs. scientific fact
Article Abstract:
The public views global warming in terms of crop failures, increase in sea levels, hurricanes and forest fires. However, existing data on climatic change say otherwise. Inasmuch as scientists agree that the earth has warmed due to an increase in emissions of infrared radiation, they do not think the warming will have any influence on the greenhouse effect. Scientists say how the earth warms is more important than the amount of warming. Factors such as the time of the day, season and cloud cover can change global warming.
