The Climate Reality Project

with Dr. Micheal Edelstein 
Ramapo College

A growing issue 

  • A systematic effort to change the climate change to try and re-write the issue. Exon and the major oil companies climate change is a major threat to their business and they are trying to take out the issue. Companies tried to contract the issue of Climate change.

  • A "meda study"- all the studies of a climate change. Scientist got together and found out there is so real decent of a climate change (the scientist uniformly (convergent) agreed) 

  • Climate is a reality and we need to address this and as science teachers we need to address this, teach or students to distort information that is disoriented from politics and learn science. It's a science issue!

  • Kyoto Protocol- first major project that acted on Climate change, United States prevented it with the election of George W. Bush and blocked the operation from coming underway. 

  • We have 405 amount of carbon dioxide in the air and we have passed the tipping point and we can not go back! With the amount of Carbon in the air we face a change about how habitability is the earth. Less Habitably = More Challenges. Relocation issues. 

  • Climate habitation How are we going to live in the future with this growing climate change?

Daily Question!

How habitable is the earth??
 Side Note: Watch movie, An Inconvenient Truth.


How would you unpack this picture as science teachers?  
Different science pictures unpack different things, but you notice its a water plant, but we are land animals. Water (like everything else on earth) gets recycled on Earth. To understand land you must understand water. All the water we ever had on the earth is here now (its limited) . Whatever water we have we have it for life. Quality/Quantity - Contaminated water (For Example: Changing the water).   
Explain the water cycle - Water always moves and is constant- Sometimes liquid, gas (Itchy Bitsy spider) Water falls and evaporates and then comes back over the land.  


System Theory
(Use the What did you eat this morning with the students Example of  throughout- Energy, input,- Eating, and output- Toilet- tie into decomposition)Use the system theory can be used to track backwards and find out everything that the input involves.  System theory can uncover thousands of details about simple everyday things such as eating a bagel!
 NEED TO THINK A SYSTEM WAY! 

Mention to your students that we change the climate the worlds climate with a diet 

  • What is the blue marble on earth system? A close system. 
  • What system is the earth? It is both.=> Earth is an open system in regard to energy and a close system in regard to matter. Two exceptions for the close system of matter an imported matter and if a meliorate falls into space. 
(Matter is anything that takes up space, Energy is what allows you to do work. The energy comes from the sun. We have more energy coming from the sun then what we use in all human life). How we harvest energy from the sun is photosynthates. 

Renewable energy = the sun is a constant source of energy. It is free energy. 
Non-renewable energy= Fossil fuels. What we relay on for energy. Why? We make a commodity => people can profit from it. 

What are the consequences of having a system that has to import energy form fossil fuels?
> Contamination, run out of them, greenhouse gasses. 

The Atmosphere 
Stratosphere-  A part of the atmosphere above the troposphere that reaches to space.

Free energy we need to do it immediately. 

We have so much vulnerability because of what we dp 


How do you and all your students survive the future?
 Electric cars, A better diet, re-usable water bottles, and a garden

As a science teacher needs to look at stuff in a different angle! Learn to talk loudly
