Hello from Southern VT

Hi all from Florida. Happy to be here!

Welcome everyone - thank you for joining us today

Hello from NE PA!

You are listening to Amber Liggett, NOAA

Hello from frozen North Dakota.

Hello Dannah!

Hi. I can't hear you!

I can hear Amber fine.

From NOAA - The difference between weather and climate: https://www.noaa.gov/explainers/what-s-difference-between-climate-and-weather#:~:text=Weather%20is%20what%20you%20experience,usually%2030%20years%20or%20more.

Weather is the at-bat, climate is the batting average.

Will slides be available afterwards?

I like that Eric!

Julia - the slides are in the collection. I'll share the link to the collection in a moment

Reacted to "Julia - the slides a..." with 👍

Eric, I really like that analogy!

You are listening to Tom Di Liberto, NOAA

I really like this slide

this slide is great...is this taken from ice core samples?

You got it Beth!

what a great graph :)

If you haven't tried this new Climate Change game, I would highly recommend it. It is good for adults and high school students. The object is to try to reach net zero. https://ig.ft.com/climate-game/?fbclid=IwAR0nVImnPrn0pm_LcOWplU7L26_luVfunP4ycOXV1tKuMellJA__r3kcXOQ

Thanks for sharing Carissa

These graphs are so wonderful. Are there NOAA tools to find/create similar graphs (e.g., long-term changes in participation) for our specific cities or regions?

Yes! I put together a consolidated list of resources that break down climate information for county, city, state, and national levels: https://cpo.noaa.gov/Fellowships-Partners/Climate-Resources-and-Partners

I was reflecting on Beth's comment on the constant allergy season. Just as atmospheric evidence is found in ice cores via the "bubbles", how does this relate to the release of bacteria and other small life forms as ice melts in the polar regions? Are we seeing feedback in human health that is a result of climate change?

@Brooke: What about this? https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/climate-at-a-glance/global/time-series

I appreciate these resources!

Wow, yes, these are both wonderful resources. Thank you, Amber and Bruce!

Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters (searchable) https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/billions/

Would it make more sense to have color coded info on county basis rather than state bases

This one is really scary - Climate Change may make people DUMB - https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/09/190911212426.htm

What were #1 & #2 billion $ years?

I'm sorry 3rd highest...?

@Najib: I believe that FEMA and other US Federal Agencies have and use this data, i'm just having difficulty locating it at the moment.

2020 and 2021 were the first and second costliest years

Visited Great Salt Lake in UT last week - it is at its lowest level in history

Thank you, Tom!

ALL HAIL Pennsylvania! LOL!

Hooray PA!

I know this is a talk by climate experts, not experts in social and emotional learning, but I remember how scared I was of climate change when I was in elementary school and it’s so much scarier now! We also have a lot of students that have been personally impacted by flooding. Just thinking about how to guide conversations around these difficult topics.

I am curious about the Great Lakes and Climate Change - we talk about coasts re: Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. How will the "third coast” be affected by climate change?

Well said Brooke!

Brooke, I was in school in the 90s as a young child and I felt fear re: ecosystem and climate change. I see it even more pronounced in the kids that are young today. I agree with you, and I am so glad you posted this.

Thanks for the link Bruce

Thank you, Bruce.

Thank you Bruce!

Thanks so much, Bruce! I have about 20 tabs open now that I can’t wait to dig into.

LOL Brooke- me too! I have opened every link!

Thank you Bruce, this document and the link re: GL climate impact.

I have used the Resilience tool in class - it is excellent.

I'd like the CAMR link

We're going to get a whole list of all of these links, right?

See the collection: https://my.nsta.org/collection/SUbGERVp3QA_E

Climate Mapping for Resilience and Adaptation: https://resilience.climate.gov/

Great tool for student independent research and student voice and choice.

A number of links from the presenters are there and the slides too!

Yes and all of the sources Tom is discussing can be found here https://cpo.noaa.gov/Fellowships-Partners/Climate-Resources-and-Partners.

Toolkit - is already in the collection

Neighborhoods at Risk and EnROADS equally as good!

The links in the Chat will be in the recording. You cal also save the Chat at the end. Click on the 3 dots at the bottom of the box where you type you chats and select Save.

EnROADS Rocks!

Yes - Don is correct - save the chat before you exit the program!

Thank you!

Tom, is NOAA Climate also on Reddit?

Amber, Bruce, and Tom...thank you! :-)

How informative! Thank you so much!

Other questions from the audience?

That makes sense

Flavio: This is what I want to ask the attendees about:The 5th National Climate Assessment, will soon be sent to Congress. It is now open to the public for comments. There is a lack of recommendation for climate education in our schools. The deadline for comments is January 27, 2023. The next opportunity won't be for 4 more year!See: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/11/10/2022-24611/availability-for-public-comment-on-the-draft-fifth-national-climate-assessment-nca5-united-statesReviewer sign-up: https://review.globalchange.gov/ The directions for adding comments online are straightforward.For those not able to read the entire document, Chapter 20, pages 9-10, provides a good opportunity to recommend adding the need for climate education and the teaching of the Next Generation Science Standards in schools throughout the United States.

SubjectToClimate is a new website focusing on CC education. They other excellent, vetted Lesson Plans, videos, & so much more. https://subjecttoclimate.org/

David Sobel's Beyond Ecophobia talks about how and when to talk to children about tough environmental issues. His research has found it can do more damage than good if you introduce the issue of climate change too early--before age 9--if I remember could be a little older.

One of my favorite books.

Thanks, Hilary, for the book recommendation. I am reserving it at my library right now.

Yea I feel middle school is a good age to discuss this with students in a meaningful way

Reacted to "Yea I feel middle ..." with 👍

I agree totally, no bad news before 4th grade. Children have to learn to love the world before they want to save it.

Reacted to "I agree totally, n..." with 👏

8th grade science for sure!

Love that Agnes "love the world then learn to save it"

Thank you

Thank you for the great presentation!

Thank you

Wonderful!

Excellent - thank you for your work!!
