100 Views of Climate Change website

[Virginia Space Grant Consortium]

Dear Climate Education Colleagues,

I’m writing to invite you to visit the 100 Views of Climate Change website, http://changingclimates.colostate.edu, where you will find annotations and links to videos, podcasts, books, articles, essays, and websites that convey high-quality information in clear and appealing ways to non-specialist adults, including college-level students, their teachers, and the interested public. Our range is multidisciplinary, ranging from climate science to ecology, agriculture to ethics, communication to policy, economics to energy.

This site should be helpful to college-level and high school teachers who teach some aspect of climate change but aren’t 100% comfortable with talking about other aspects of the topic; or for people who speak to the public on this subject; or for anyone who sometimes wishes they had a friendly place to look things up, or to which they could send curious friends, relatives, and neighbors; or for citizens who just want to get a good introduction to the topic without having to plow through hard-to-read materials. 

Like all websites, this one is in a constant state of being updated and otherwise improved. Current projects include additional subpages (“Focus on Forests” and “Focus on the Far North,” so far, with more coming) and a set of handouts on key information matched with short videos.

   This site is a project of Changing Climates @ Colorado State University, an outreach and education initiative supported in large part by the Center for Multiscale Modeling of Atmospheric Processes, an NSF Science and Technology Center headquartered at CSU.

   Please help us spread the word!

With best wishes,

SueEllen Campbell (website director) & John Calderazzo
