GlobalWarmingArchive.com chronicles the discovery and debate of global climate change through newspapers
Access tens of thousands of newspaper articles about the global climate from the 1700's to the present
GlobalWarmingArchive.com, a free archive of 50,000 historical newspaper pages sponsored by NewspaperARCHIVE.com, contains detailed newspaper accounts on the diverse opinions and scientific discoveries surrounding global warming. From the Industrial Revolution to the Kyoto treaty, the topic of global climate change has enthralled readers and sparked debate for centuries.
"Since ancient times, people have believed that human activity could affect the environment," said Elizabeth Lenz, researcher for GlobalWarmingArchive.com "The discovery of past ice ages shows that the Earth's climate is in constant flux and throughout history, scientists have searched for the cause of these changes."
The collection of newspapers in Global Warming Archive are searchable by key word and date with the use of Optical Character Recognition technology and Adobe Reader. Therefore, if researchers are looking for articles on the Kyoto treaty, articles can be found by just searching for term "Kyoto."
Newspapers in the Archive's timeline begin in the 1700s and detail major moments in the history of global climate change. For instance, an article in the December 4, 1841 edition of the Milwaukee Sentinel and Wisconsin Farmer reports on Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier's theory about the earth's warming.
"With the recent surge of hurricanes and the start of tornado season, global warming continues to be a topic of conversation," said Jeff Kiley, General Manager of NewspaperARCHIVE.com. "Whether you believe the increase in severe weather is from global warming or a natural cycle, GlobalWarmingArchive.com provides interesting resources for the debate on global climate change."
GlobalWarmingArchive.com is part of a series of free newspaper archives that include TornadoArchive.com, ImmigrationArchive.com, AIDSArchive.com, TitanicArchive.com, and ProBaseballArchive.com.
Researchers interested in finding more information on Global Warming can go to NewspaperARCHIVE.com where there are 31.9 million newspaper pages online. NewspaperARCHIVE.com, the largest newspaper database available online, is owned by Heritage Microfilm and began in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in 1999.
