EXTREME WEATHER


CLASSROOM VIDEO ISSUES 2: CLIMATE CHANGE

Scientific evidence clearly shows that global temperatures are rising and weather patterns are changing. But what's causing it? Undoubtedly there has been a massive worldwide shift into accepting the impact of human energy use on the temperature of the planet, but climatic changes – including extreme changes – have been present on our planet for millions of years. Could it be that this change is just part of the normal pattern? If so, some argue, there is no need to change our energy use to the detriment of the economy. This Australian-made, curriculum fit program poses questions for debate and discussion in the classroom about climate change. It presents expert opinions, statistics and historical references presenting two sides of the story, and ultimately asks us, how worried should we be and what can or should we do to avert climate change? An informed and timely look at this most critical issue.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Time has clearly shown the serious impact our society and general lifestyle has had on the environment. To most adults it is evident that future generations may not enjoy common privileges society has enjoyed in the past if they do not take an active role in protecting the environment. Along with adults, it is essential that our children also learn to share in this important responsibility.

Climate Change educates children on the impact of Global Warming or the Green House effect on the environment. Using stimulating animations and young actors, Climate Change shows young people how to responsibly protect the environment through the use of energy saving methods such as choosing alternative travel and reducing power and water consumption.

GREEN MATTERS: WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON? CLIMATE CHANGE

Something is going on and it's not pretty. What ever is causing the change in global climate, the dangers are significantly real and possible solutions massively large. The domino effect of this climatic change can now be found in most places of the world. At times these changes can be quite subtle, at other times abundantly clear, but in any case obtaining a broader understanding of the consequences is a smart idea.

    ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE FOR STUDENTS: GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE

    Dive into an in-depth exploration of global climate change, and see how both natural events and human activity, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have played a role in changing our climate. See how climate data is collected, learn about the role of the greenhouse effect and discover some familiar and some unexpected sources of greenhouse gases. Consider experts views on the potential effects of global warming -- from relatively mild changes in the weather to more extreme scenarios, such as intense storms, warming oceans and melting ice caps. Investigate efforts to combat climate change at international, national and local levels. Weigh the effects of these efforts and consider what else can be done because the fact remains that global climate change could possibly be one of the most important issues of the 21st century!

    ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES: CLIMATE CHANGE 1 - THE ARCTIC ODYSSEY

    The Arctic is warming up twice as fast as the rest of the planet; its frozen world is one of the last refuges of the unknown land on Earth and the Arctic, as we know it, is, literally, disappearing. Under the threat of global warming, this vast expanse of water and ice, and its inhabitants, are facing unprecedented upheavals. This timely documentary, the first of two on climate change, follows the year-round trip of the CCGS Amundsen, a Canadian research ice-breaker, on an unparalleled scientific mission - the most important it has ever carried out - where some 40 scientists from a dozen countries study the area's fragile ecosystem; here they travel on an Arctic odyssey, endeavoring to better understand the future of the world around us.

    ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES: CLIMATE CHANGE 2 - BEYOND GLOBAL WARMING

    The reality of climate change is now beyond any doubt. The most dramatic upheavals are occurring in the Earth's northern polar regions, where communities there are facing unprecedented changes. This timely documentary, the second of two on climate change, goes beyond the issue of global warming, exploring many of the development situations, which are already occurring in the Canadian Arctic, making it a key region of the globe. The question raised is, will this frozen land become the New World of the 21st century?

    CLIMATE CHANGE: OUR RESPONSIBILITY

    This program establishes the vital importance of the greenhouse effect for life on Earth and then presents a balanced argument to assess whether or not anthropogenic climate change (often called global warming) is in fact taking place. Clear arguments are presented on both sides of the debate and illustrations given covering both more economically developed countries and less economically developed countries, with impacts and responses fully explored. A thorough and balanced examination of this important and often contentious issue.

    CLIMATE CHANGE: CORAL REEFS ON THE EDGE

    In clear and direct language, Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, one of the world's leading coral biologists, presents his scientific findings that document how C02 emissions are pushing the world's coral reefs to the brink of extinction.

    Coral reefs are the largest living structures on earth, home to 25% of all marine species, and a primary source of food and income for over 500 million people. Coral reefs are a sensitive and vital indicator of the negative impact climate change is having on the world's oceans. In the video, Prof. Hoegh-Guldberg shows how increased CO2 emissions have led to warming of the seas and ocean acidification, both of which have already caused the death of many coral reefs and may cause their mass extinction in the next few decades.

    He warns that current efforts to curb C02 emissions are falling well short of what's needed to protect coral reefs. He concludes that we need to view the problem as a global one requiring rapid and decisive action by the world's leaders to greatly reduce carbon emissions.

    His presentation is illustrated with stunning high definition footage from the collection of renowned underwater cinematographer David Hannan, as well as with Prof. Hoegh-Guldberg's own charts and graphs.

    The presentation covers:
  • The Importance of Coral Reefs
  • Climate Change and Coral Bleaching
  • Ocean Acidification
  • How Much CO2 is Too Much For Coral Reefs?
  • Conclusion: What Do We Do About It?

    AUSTRALIA'S WATER CRISIS: CLIMATE CHANGE, SALINISATION

    1. THE BIG DRY
    Parts of Australia are suffering their worst drought in living memory. Is this down to global warming? Opinions are divided. This film follows the experiences of farmers in the Mallee district of Victoria in south-east Australia. The farmers and townsfolk of Birchip, Victoria, have seen little of the rains that have flooded other parts of Australia. It's likely to stay that way. For Birchip is bang in the middle of the swathe of southern Australia that is forecast to dry out as temperatures rise, cutting farm production by as much as 10 per cent in the next 20 years. Some farms in productive areas may become marginal; small farms on marginal lands could become unviable, eventually being swallowed up by bigger operators or abandoned to nature. Farmers go to their bank managers, digging deeper into debt, hoping that the next hand deals them a good season. "You just get sick of borrowing, borrowing, borrowing," says one. It's a question of adapt or go bust. But are the farmers' problems a result of natural climate variation - or of catastrophic climate change?

    2. THE SALT PROBLEM
    "We're trying to run a first world economy in what you might call a third world environment." Australians are among the world's biggest consumers of water - but they live in the driest continent on earth at a time of global warming. And if this wasn't enough, they face another major environmental problem: salt White settlers tried to tame Australia and turn the land into something green like Europe. But when they irrigated, they lifted buried salt - instead of greening the interior, they turned it white. Previous government policies, and giant river diversion projects like the Snowy Mountains Scheme, have all made matters worse, encouraging an attitude that water is a free resource to be used or lost to the sea. Now attitudes are changing and many communities are facing difficult choices. Some farmers are tackling the water crisis by embracing radical change, adopting new methods unthinkable in the past. But will Australians learn by past mistakes? A great challenge lies ahead.
