Climate Change
Storyboard Text
- The U.S. is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases, emitting a total of over 400 billion metric tons of these gases (like methane, CO2, and nitrous oxide). The biggest sources of these greenhouse gases are our economic sectors, namely industry, transportation, and electricity generation (Environmental Protection Agency, 2021).
- The ice caps are melting!Cities are choking!

- Don't worry Rich, what's the worst that could happen? Now, did we sign the pro-oil paperwork yet?
- SAVE OUR CHILDREN, STOP POLLUTION!
- Go ahead, I'm saving up for another Jeep this Christmas.
- Hey Robert, do you hear something?
- Are you sure? They sound pretty mad.
- According to LiveScience, the increase in global temperature could lead to ocean acidification (endangering ecosystems); a higher water deficit; rising sea levels (destroying coastal towns and cities); damage to hydropower-dependent electricity grids; and would render places like the Middle East and American West inhabitable to humans because of extreme temperatures.
- 100 years (and 2oC later)
- While this is an obvious dramatization (and joke), the matter of climate change is not only highly controversial but widely misunderstood. Many argue that Earth has undergone natural periods of climate change (like the Ice Age); however, it is the degree and rate to which our climate has been altered that is cause for our concern.
- A little, but it was cold last winter, so I think we'll be fine.
- Hey Robert, is it warm in here?
