Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
This organisation has been in place since 1988 and has a lot of very technical information on their site. Most of this is not accessible by primary children but I did find a number of useful graphics related to climate change on this page. I think these would need to be saved into a folder by an adult as it takes a while to find suitable ones.
