Welcome to the Climate Change Exchange!  Here you will find information to help you better understand the effects of global warming in the State of New Jersey.  There is a wealth of information about this crisis available:  this website hopes to integrate new discoveries in science, the work being done by the New Jersey State legislature and the efforts of our own citizens to combat global warming.  

Rising sea levels and increased ambient temperatures pose a  threat to our environment and economy and require us, as citizens, as parents, as businesspeople, as teachers, as public servants, as humans to take a proactive rather than a reactive position to ensure that the legacy of the Garden State.  The Federal Government is not taking step's to reduce our Country's carbon emissions.  New Jersey has and will continue to be a forward thinking state that prides itself on environmental excellence.
