CDIAC is the
primary global change data and information analysis center of the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE). CDIAC's data holdings include atmospheric
concentrations of carbon dioxide and other radiatively active gases in the
atmosphere; emissions of carbon dioxide and trace gases to the atmosphere;
long term climate trends; vegetation response to climate change and
elevated carbon dioxide; and the vulnerability of coastal areas to rising
sea level.
