• This podcast episode discusses that climate change is not a new problem, why some people do not believe it is happening, and what can be done about climate change now. 
• Included in the episode are conversations with Nathaniel Rich and Greg Slater, whose differing areas of expertise add layers of understanding to the resource. 

Positives

• This resource is a fun and engaging way to learn about some of the history of climate science.
• The guests on this episode add great insights to the topics covered and will provide students with a nuanced understanding.

Additional Prerequisites

• Students should have some awareness that some people do not believe the climate is changing or that the changes are natural. 
  

Differentiation

• Cross-curricular connections can be made in language arts classes working on media literacy, non-fiction research, or debates.
• This resource would make an excellent introductory piece for students working on how to speak to people who don't believe the climate is changing. Paired with other resources, like The Debunking Handbook, or International Public Opinion on Climate Change, it would make a great guide for having these conversations. 
• History and social studies students can research the Kyoto Protocol, this documentary, and media coverage from the 1980s - 2000s to gain perspective about the lack of bold climate action in the past and what we can learn from this to ensure mitigation and adaptation strategies are enacted.
