Positives
- This video emphasizes that even if burning fossil fuels didn't cause climate change, we would still need to come up with alternative forms of energy because fossil fuels are a nonrenewable energy source.
Additional Prerequisites
- The closed captions do not work on this video, but there is a transcript.
Differentiation
- Cross-curricular connections could be made with social studies classes and civics classes when discussing the unequal exposure of people to air pollution from burning fossil fuels and the unequal effects of climate change on different communities.
- Students may want to consider starting a Lights Out Day at school or at home.
- Other resources related to this topic include this resource on fossil fuels and carbon dioxide and this video about fracking in Pennsylvania.
