• Teaching Tips
  A good video to show at the beginning of a unit on climate change. May need to break video into sections because the information presented is very dense. Students will need scaffolding. High level - recommended for advanced classes.
• About the Science
  Comments from expert scientist: The video provides clear evidence of rising surface temperatures over the past century. It refers to the multitude of observational records - including in-situ and satellite measurements of temperature, snow and ice cover - to make the case that the Earth is warming.
