Check out our latest course: "What is Climate Change?" Crash Course Geography #14!"

This playlist consists of 52 videos all about Geography. Teachers can use these videos to support their lesson plans and engage students. These videos each cover specific topics and concepts learned in Geography classes. The playlist is an excellent resource for students to review or study for a test or final. By the end of this playlist, students will be able to read maps accurately while also understanding the various factors in the shaping of maps including natural and human influences.

Today we’re going to talk about climate change which is when there is a change in the average weather patterns in a region over a long period of time - these changes can be natural or human-caused. We’ll discuss the main driving forces of climate change in the past and show you how what’s happening now is unlike anything in the past. Global warming, or when there is an increase in the average surface temperature of the planet, has been well-documented since the Industrial Revolution, and scientists have concluded that there is a 95% probability that human activities like burning fossil fuels, industrialization, modern agriculture, and deforestation have caused most of this most recent warming. And while individual actions do matter in helping to curb the disastrous implications of a warming planet, it’s also up to us to hold corporations and governments responsible for the policies and the large-scale emissions that play a disproportionate role in impacting our atmosphere and climate.
