ESS3D - Global Climate Change

Paul Anderson discusses global climate change, highlighting human and natural influences. He explains the difference between weather and climate, and how human activities like burning fossil fuels contribute to climate change. The video covers evidence from historical records and scientific data, such as ice cores, to show climate change over time. Climate models are used to predict future changes, indicating a rise in global temperatures. The video also suggests educational strategies for teaching climate change at various school levels.
