S1 E1: Where do we begin?

S1 E1: How do we even begin to understand -- let alone act on -- a problem as big and complex as climate change? Christina Thompson is on a mission to find out. She starts by going back to basics, and high school science teacher Sofia Di Bari is here to answer the questions that some of us might be a little hesitant to ask, like, are we even calling it global warming anymore?!After gaining a better understanding of her own day-to-day impact, Christina talks with Dr. Katharine Wilkinson, who is at the forefront of the climate conversation. Dr. Wilkinson helps to unravel some nuanced questions; what is the individual’s role in all of this? And, how much of the science does one person need to understand before taking some real action?Highlights:Climate Science 101 (6:24)Christina calculates her Ecological Footprint (14:20)Top climate solutions and how we move forward (17:39)Terminology:Global warmingGreenhouse gasCarbonCarbon footprintFossil fuelOzoneClimate resilienceCarbon footprint/eco footprintDrawdownConfirmation biasResources:Learn more about New York’s Resilient Schools ConsortiumCalculate your own Ecological FootprintCheck out top climate change solutions at Project DrawdownListen: A Matter of Degrees PodcastRead: All We Can Save8 Climate Change WinsKeeping Up with Climate ChangeYour Vote is Essential
