Differentiation

• Some resources that are focused on climate solutions include this table of solutions, this video about climate solutions, and this video about natural climate solutions.  
  
• A few discussion questions for this video include:
  
  • Why do you think people ignore climate change or choose to do nothing, even though they are aware of the situation?
  • What do you see as your role in climate action?
  • Do you think we could change our planet's climate change trajectory if we work collaboratively?

There is no misconception in the video, except for the statement, "our climate is changing in a dangerous way." Climate change is only a variation or change in the climatic conditions experienced in a particular location over a long period. Weather or its patterns could be erratic, moderate, extreme, or fair because they occur for a short period. Other content is good, and it's recommended for teaching.
