Climate change and kids

"Making climate change real at Oakland high school" by Jill Tucker, SF Chronicle. Feb.14, 2011.

This article is about using "cow farts", among other things, to help education school kids about the issue of climate change. The Alliance for climate education has visited 1,100 high schools to spread the message of climate change being a real problem that students can halp solve. In an Oakland high school the free production features dj's, music, videos, games and presentations, to help kids understand how global warming is impacting the planet and their lives and how they can have a hand in alleviating its effects. The article is relevant to educators, parents, students and just about anyone concerned with climate change and the environment. Given the precarious situation we seem to be regarding climate change, this article has relevancy for just about everyone on the planet. Of course, for those who doubt the science of global warming, perhaps not so much.
