Central Question: What are the scientific foundations for climate change? Guiding Thought Question: What is the biggest danger facing humans for inaction against climate change? What is the result and how will humans be impacted? Today's Learning Objective: Students will examine the natural and human causes for global climate change and how the change can have an effect on the planet's plants and animals. |

The biggest danger is the melting of the ice caps and the wiping out of different species. The ice caps will change ocean levels causing major flooding, and the extinction of different species will cause a giant impact on the food chain. This will eventually catch up to us especially through the inability to pollinate.

more people don’t realize the impacts of climate change/ignore the impacts and so when the impacts are irreversible people will start to realize it and then it will be too late to do something

The sun and the atmosphere. The sun provides for life while also warming the planet which affects climate. The atmosphere also controls how warm the planet gets.

Because of the inaction against climate change, polar ice caps are melting, and as sea water levels rise, the more likely major floods will occur causing millions of dollars in damage. Also ocean acidification is being affected by all the greenhouse gases humans release in the atmosphere, and are affecting marine life in severe ways, one example of this is coral bleaching. And by these devastating results of climate change, we as people can suffer the consequences of change in severe weather, as well as loss in animal and plant life too.

If it keeps getting hotter then the animals and our crops will not be able to withstand the tempature even though we will be fine.

The severe lowering of species populations and even the complete and total extinction of others has drastically slowed the rate of which ecosystems would be able to naturally recover through their sheer amounts of biodiversity and activity. Not only that, but the long-term and short-term climate changes are both leading to rising sea levels and exaggerated weather patterns which drastically harm coastal cities.
