- Climate Program Office - Focuses on developing a broader user community for climate products and services, provides NOAA a focal point for climate activities, leads NOAA climate education and outreach activities, and coordinates international climate activities. Includes library, news and events.
- Climate System Research Center, University of Massachusetts - Research is focused on the climate system, climate variability and global change issues, from contemporary climate variations, their causes and consequences, to paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental changes. Includes news of recent research.
- Climate Modelling and Applications - CSIRO's Climate Modelling and Applications Team seeks a better understanding of climate and its variations in order to assess the way in which climate is likely to change in future due to the enhanced greenhouse effect and to natural climatic variability.
- Climate Variability and Predictability Study (CLIVAR) - An interdisciplinary research effort within the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) focussing on the variability and predictability of the slowly varying components of the climate system. It investigates the physical and dynamical processes in the climate system that occur on seasonal, interannual, decadal and centennial time-scales.
- Paleoclimate and Climate Change Group - University of California Santa Cruz. Research areas include climate variability, warm climate transitions, Milankovitch forcing of early Cenozoic climates.
- Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC) - Working Group 1 : The Scientific Basis of Climate Change - Analyses a body of observations of all parts of the climate system; catalogues increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases; assesses the processes and feedbacks which govern the climate system.
- Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research - Provides, for the UK Government, an assessment of both natural and man-made climate change. Offers accesible information on climate modeling and climate change in general, with particular emphasis on data from the Hadley Centre models.
- Climate, Community and Biodiversity Alliance - The Alliance is developing standards for evaluating climate, community and biodiversity impacts of land-based carbon projects which should enable stakeholders to identify terrestrial climate change mitigation projects with clear climate, biodiversity and sustainable-development benefits.
- BBC News: Global Climate Change - An analysis of the science and other issues behind the climate change debate, from BBC News Online.
- Climate Change: An Overview - A discussion of the certainties and uncertainties behind the science of climate change and the impact of greenhouse gasses.

- Climate of Italy - The climate in Italy is highly diverse and can be far from the stereotypical Mediterranean climate and "land of sun", depending on the location. The inland northern areas of Italy (for example Turin, Milan, and Bologna) have a more continental climate typically classified as Humid subtropical climate (Köppen climate classification Cfa), while the coastal areas of Liguria and the peninsula south of ...
- Climate of Oklahoma City - The climate of Oklahoma City is a humid subtropical climate (Koppen climate classification Cfa), near the boundaries of both the semi-arid steppe climate and the humid continental climate zones to the west and north, respectively. The average temperature is about 60 °F (16 °C), with an average temperature of 37 °F (3 ° ...
- Climate change denial - Climate change denial describes efforts to counter all or part of the theory of global climate change when those involved are believed to be acting out of vested interests rather than an unbiased evaluation of the scientific data. While the term 'climate skeptic' generally refers to scientists taking good faith positions on the global warming controversy, 'climate change denial' usually refers to disinformation ...
- Global Climate Observing System - The Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) is an international institution co-sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the International Council for Science (ICSU). GCOS is intended to be a long-term, user-driven operational system capable of providing the comprehensive observations required for monitoring the climate system, for detecting and attributing climate change, for assessing the impacts of climate variability and change, and for supporting research toward improved understanding, modelling and prediction of the climate system.
- World climate research programme - The World Climate Resarch Programme (WCRP) was established in 1980, under the joint sponsorship of International Council for Science and the World Meteorological Organization and also been sponsored by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO since 1993. The objectives of the programme are to develop the fundamental scientific understanding of the physical climate system and climate processes needed to determine to what extent climate can be predicted and the extent of human influence on climate.
