West Virginia Science Public Outreach Team (SPOT)
West Virginia Science Public Outreach Team (SPOT)
Request for a college ambassador from WV SPOT to give a standards-based presentation at your school. Journey through Earth’s atmosphere to understand how greenhouse gases keep Earth warm like a cozy blanket. How do greenhouse gases affect the temperature, water cycle, and weather? Is the Earth warmer than usual now? What is the evidence? Learn about the pros and cons of climate change in West Virginia. Practice talking about it and become empowered to take action.
Science Stories and Classroom Resources life science, with many connections to climate change (ex: The Science of Climate Change, Trends in Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide, and Paleoclimate). They also have a variety of professional development opportunities!
An organization that works with individuals and organizations to help move people beyond being victims of climate change to action! They have a Climate Crisis Card Deck of solutions, as well as opportunities to lead or attend workshops.
How do you know which sources to trust? Free Online lessons and assessments to teach students skills like lateral reading, how to determine sponsored content, and how to find better information.

Who Speaks for the Trees?
Who Speaks for the Trees?
This is a webinar hosted by the WV Center for Climate Change about carbon storage.
This guide is intended for people who are concerned about climate change and want more information. Its purpose is to provide factual, objective information on the science of why climate change is occurring; identify key impacts of climate change in West Virginia and across the globe; and outline some potential solutions.
The Guide relies heavily on scientific research from government agencies: the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Climate Assessment, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as well as academic research on climate change. Our objective is to provide\ scientifically valid information on a subject that has been overly politicized.
