Teaching Tips
- This video would be more suited to environmental studies, political science, media studies or the like.
- Video could be used as a wrap-up, after students have a handle on the science, in order to jump to questions about how confusion on the science has moved into mainstream culture.
- A good video to introduce the effects of increasing global temperatures as well as demonstrating the way science is done - scientists using data, making predictions, and then testing the predictions over time.
About the Content
- The key content of this video is the evolution of the acceptance of climate science.
- Interviews and other clips consider the conservative predictions of the IPCC 5th report, as in a previous report underestimating Arctic sea ice melt; the long-standing views of scientists with predictions as far back as the 1960s, which have come to actuality; and the importance of the science in the report.
- Video content is interdisciplinary and covers science and the history of climate science.
- Points out how older models have been proven to be correct 25 years later.
- Passed initial science review - expert science review pending.
