A new feature, "Green Snow - How winter sports affect the environment", has been put online.

"Global warming is an increase in the temperature of the Earth's atmosphere caused by the so-called "greenhouse" effect. Most scientists believe the warming is caused by human activity, especially the burning of fossil fuels, such as oil, coal and natural gas.

Earth's average temperature rose at least 1 degree in the 20th century, according to the World Meteorological Organization. But the rise has accelerated since 1976. Last year tied with 1998 for the warmest on record, and nine of the 10 warmest years have occurred in the past decade.

It's hard to find any scientist who disagrees the Earth's temperatures are getting higher. But global warming's cause is still under debate as well as what effects it will have on different regions of the planet."
