Teachers, check this out, from the Global Nomads Group website:
"Today, the climate is changing faster than any time of the last 65 million years. Warmer ocean temperatures are feeding more powerful hurricanes, while mega heat waves and droughts are occurring in record numbers.
In partnership with (which is part of the Antarctic Geological Drilling Program), GNG will host a series of Virtual Classrooms from Antarctica from October - December to study evidence in Antarctica from the last time carbon dioxide levels were this high — 34 million years ago! By examining our world's past, we hope to get a glimpse of our future — as global warming has become an inevitable reality. for more information."
As more information becomes available, I'll share.
