03.18.24 Addressing Climate Change

​SWBAT identify leaders in the race to address climate change.

SWBAT evaluate effective methods of how to address climate change.

Objectives

• Warmer air means warmer oceans. Warmer oceans make stronger hurricanes.

• Less rain is predicted for some areas. That could lead to droughts, which would mean less water for people to drink and to grow food.

• Drier conditions can also lead to more forest fires.

• Melting glaciers and warmer water could raise sea level, flooding coasts. Wildlife that is adapted to a certain habitat may not be able to survive as the habitat changes.
