Teaching Teens About Climate Change

From the Publisher: Climate change is challenging to grasp at any age. We cannot see, taste or small climate change, yet we hear almost daily about its present and potential impacts and its many dimensions -- environmental, social, economic, and political. How can educators best address a topic that, on the one hand, is intangible, and, on the other, can be viewed through so many different lenses? This book brings together 12 articles and many activities from Green Teacher magazine to aid any educator in tacking this essential topic with high school students. Take teens from despair to empowerment, help them appreciate the difference between cap and trade and carbon taxes, explore environmental impacts of the tar sands, provide options for sustainable transportation, and much more.
