Movie part two

We watched the End of "AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH" in class.

HOMEWORK:

Read the 2 page magazine article.

Also think of one thing you can do to help the environment this week.

(Be prepared to share what you did that week with the class next time I see you all)

HAVE A GREAT OKINAWA TRIP!!!

Movie part one

Today we watched the first portion of "AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH".

WHAT IS GLOBAL WARMING?

Carbon dioxide and other gases warm the surface of the planet naturally by trapping solar heat in the atmosphere. This is a good thing because it keeps our planet habitable. However, by burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil and clearing forests we have dramatically increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere and temperatures are rising.
The vast majority of scientists agree that global warming is real, it’s already happening and that it is the result of our activities and not a natural occurrence.1 The evidence is overwhelming and undeniable.
We’re already seeing changes. Glaciers are melting, plants and animals are being forced from their habitat, and the number of severe storms and droughts is increasing.

We will continue with the movie next class!

Great First Class!!!

It was awesome to see all of you today! Thank you for your cooperation in class.

We talked a little bit about the:

- "HISTORY OF THE U.N".

- "BAN KI MOON, U.N secretary general"

- "THE UNITED NATIONS FLAG & EMBLEM"

I will book the video machine to hopefully watch "AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH" next class.
