Gr 7 Up—This high-quality video production depicts the challenges facing the planet as extreme weather events become more frequent, sea levels rise, and more and more people become refugees due to climate change. Torrential rains and flooding, unprecedented amounts of snow, drought, and wildfires illustrate the costly catastrophic events caused by global warming. Adaptation is the key to surviving these changes. Technological fixes, such as flood barriers, firefighting techniques, changes in the crops farmers can grow, are examined. The costs in damages and also the resulting increase in food prices and pressures on natural and social resources are also noted. Besides the dire predictions, hope and prospects for survival and ways to adapt are just as evident in this balanced discussion.
VERDICT The breadth and depth of this timely video would be useful in science and social studies classes, particularly environmental science courses and in discussions of causes and consequences of political unrest.
