Description

In this video, several scientists identify and describe examples of increasing health problems that they believe are related to climate change.

Disciplinary Core Ideas

  • Earth’s systems, being dynamic and interacting, cause feedback effects that can increase or decrease the original changes.
  • The foundation for Earth’s global climate systems is the electromagnetic radiation from the sun, as well as its reflection, absorption, storage, and redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, and land systems, and this energy’s re-radiation into space.

Crosscutting Concepts

  • Empirical evidence is required to differentiate between cause and correlation and make claims about specific causes and effects.
  • Cause and effect relationships can be suggested and predicted for complex natural and human designed systems by examining what is known about smaller scale mechanisms within the system.
  • Changes in systems may have various causes that may not have equal effects.
