Talking about Global Warming.

I´d like to share with you some of the videos and presentations I posted on the English blog  some years ago, which are related to Global Warming and are uptodate, as well as others from several media, that are more recent. The following video, which is entitled Our Future is narrated by Morgan Freeman and it´s worth seeing. "It describes what the world looks like now, because of Greenhouse Gases. Later, it begins to describe what the planet can look like if we star using renewable energy." Just think about it.

In this segment of our Global Warming project, we created definitions to define the causes and effects that our students had brainstormed earlier in the year. With dramatic pictures of Global Warming effects, we were able to show the severity of climate change.

New Orleans: A City Under Water pt. I, II & III

This was the capstone presentation for our Global Warming project. We had the idea to compare two cities in the world. One city that the students were familiar with, Vigo, and another city of the same size that our auxiliar de conversación was familiar with, New Orleans. 

New Orleans was the site of the 2004 hurricane Katrina natural disaster. The entire city is, and was, built under sea level. So, with a little bit of strong wind and rain, the city itself could be flooded very easily. 

This presentation goes through the history and geography of the city, so that the students can more easily relate to the effects of Global Warming. At the very end of the geography section there are two really cool maps that use GIS (Geographic Information Systems) to measure what would happen if the global temperature increased and the sea-level rises. You should definitly check out the maps!

We have already published this presentation in 2017, but it is also current nowdays.
