| Using this lesson in your classroom |
| As a part of a conversation in the classroom about Climate Change and its affects, questions often arise about global changes vs. local changes. The reference sheets from US EPA and the National Wildlife Federation and Union of Concerned Scientists can be used as background by students to discuss these changes. Documents from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) are available at http://www.ipcc.ch . The Stern Report on Global Economics issues is also linked here. |
