Hi everyone!
Apologies for being out yet again. I've got a sick baby at home and trying to get him back healthy. If there are typos, it's because I'm holding him while posting this. The struggle is real! I hope you enjoy your half day. Fingers crossed for a Snow Day tomorrow! For today, I've got an article I'd like you to read. Don't worry- it's short. But I think it brings some of the deeper social issues of climate change into the conversation. There are a few questions I'd like you to answer. This CAN count as your Current Event Journal for this week! abc7.com/5123607/?fbclid=IwAR2-VspWLzv3O31oqCRmxjS8Ju4BGprOVS5bngZIYnvwhX8OxqkVGPHf0Qw Your reflection questions: 1) What is the gist of this article? 2) While global climate change is not specifically named, how does pollution in California relate to issues of global warming? 3) Why does it matter that, based on evidence, communities of color are more deeply affected? BONUS OPPORTUNITY!!! If you write an additional Current Event Journal on any ONE of these additional articles, I will bump your current HOW4 grade to a 4!!! www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2019/02/10/officials-seek-more-protections-for-city-wetlands-counter-effects-climate-change/2Re1T3h9Xie3Ndrttl07pJ/story.html?s_camp=bostonglobe%3Asocial%3Asharetools%3Afacebook&fbclid=IwAR1OJuVzd_WaPLp66WNCpoQqxuD61LCEZdG3ujrOPv1noGDiMIm0PqDCTxE www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-45043989?fbclid=IwAR1f640rvdN0YU4HIdsa6oaZXxh3Cbtf35_sVomOKeNen3UZIWjzcifB9s0 www.npr.org/2019/01/30/690003678/massive-starfish-die-off-is-tied-to-global-warming?fbclid=IwAR1_L-vTjmzsDZSWTDDwPgoZXhyJ3kMmUNdXzRo8U_5x_QDCPzRfVW6-usE https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/new-epa-board-member-john-christy-is-climate-change-skeptci_us_5c565b84e4b00187b55185fa?utm_source=fb&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=EPA&fbclid=IwAR2-acxTPtCK0NVM4jq0KIfnWDPYuzcCOsrKniZSynXOteaMFvzLChEwwpI www.miaminewtimes.com/news/broward-everglades-oil-drilling-plan-the-first-in-decades-is-approved-for-kanter-real-estate-11074538?fbclid=IwAR0hox7uFtp3FgBv9oVkWx5IAeXLqLNUVdIXS3ZR3ZOWt6KKkNzFDKbxtgI www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/feb/10/plummeting-insect-numbers-threaten-collapse-of-nature?utm_term=Autofeed&CMP=fb_us&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR2RwGpAjC9IzQ7h5R3f_n8sYH6agBU1gdnt5Ph079D86_Qdw_S8BpCfp8w#Echobox=1549826853
