UPDATE: On June 23, the U.S. Supreme Court effectively upheld the Environmental Protection Agency's authority, under the Clean Air Act, to regulate carbon and
Beth Dichter's insight:
If you are looking for a visual that looks at the new rules surrounding carbon emission and at what each state may have to do and how others are perceiving the new regulations you should check out this visual. You may scroll down the page (first click through to the site) or you can view it as a slideshow. This visual would be great to share with students as it is designed as a cartoon (with many panels). It is easy to understand and describes where carbon emissions come from (in the US) as well as the impact this may have on countries outside the US.

Beth Dichter's insight:
Sea levels are rising and recent research tells us the impact will happen more quickly than originally stated. This infographic shares information on how the sea level has risen over the last 140 years and how much it is predicted to rise by the end of the century. It also shares information on the two main reasons this is taking place. This infographic would be appropriate to share with students studying climate change/global warming.

Sea level is rising -- and at an accelerating rate -- largely in response to global warming.
Beth Dichter's insight:
What is causing the sea level to rise? Where are the "hot spots" where the sea will rise the fastest? How quickly is land ice melting? These and many other questions related to sea level rise and global warming are shared in this infographic created by the Union of Concerned Scientists. There are also links to two additional resources. One is called "Causes of Sea Level Rise: What the Science Tells Us" and the other discusses the methodology and assumptions made in the creation of the infographic. It is also possible to download the infographic in sections. There are four facts discussed in the infographic: * Global average sea level rise has increased 8 inches since 1880... * Global warming is the primary cause of sea level rise. * Sea level rise is accelerating. * The choices we make today will determine how high sea level rises this century, how fast it occurs, and how much time we have to protect our communities.

Projections will vary on this, but it doesn't take a general consensus to see that it's happening.

Climate change may still be a controversial subject in some areas. This short video provides a clear explanation about climate change. With the celebration of Earth Day later this month you may find this useful to share in your classroom.
