Global Warming

Global warming seems to be one of the most controversial topics in science today.  Personally, I feel that throughout my background study of global warming it seems that this is a dangerous issue that is facing our society today. Ecosystems are in a constant state of balance and imbalance, however the changes that the world has shown are more rapid that other changes observed in smaller ecosystems.  If the polar ice caps were to melt, I think it would have a dramatic affect on the sea level and destroy the wildlife that exists in the polar regions.  Our world ecosystem would be in a dramatic imbalance and I find it hard to see how it would go back to a state of balance.  There would be such drastic change, that it would affect multiple areas of the world.

Some questions I have include:
How can we teach students to understand the interrelatedness of global warming to their every day lives?

What are we doing in schools to encourage students to be proactive about their environment?
