Positives

• This resource addresses some of the skeptics' arguments about the causes of climate change with data and evidence.
• There are links to more information for younger students within the resource and listed at the bottom.
  

Additional Prerequisites

• You may want to provide additional context about CFCs, the Montreal Protocol, and other halogenated or fluorinated gases that are still being used as refrigerants and insulators. The content about the breach in the Montreal Protocol may be very interesting for students to read about.
  
• Students should know how to read a graph.
  

Differentiation

• Language arts, social studies, and civics classes could use this resource as a basis for position papers or for lessons about the importance of media literacy, source verification, and data-based evidence in public policy. 
• Math and science students can analyze the graphed data about solar radiation and global temperatures and connect it to lessons about Earth's orbit, Milankovich cycles, and the electromagnetic spectrum.
  
• Younger students may need additional support when reading this article or may benefit from using a graphic organizer.
  
• As an extension, have students review this video about the causes of climate change and this video and activity about the evidence of climate change.
