For 300 years the world saw the colonialism , not by British, not by French, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese , but by Fossile Fuel. This 300 seconds of 300 years of fossil fuel by black colonialism! 
Katelan Attwells's curator insight,
April 22, 11:29 PM
‘300 Years of Fossil Fuels in 300 Seconds’ is a very unique and innovative clip that has attracted over 1 million viewers on YouTube. It provides the viewer with a broad outline of how Climate Change came to be and alerts of the immediate need to address the situation. Although it employs language that may be too advanced for some students, teachers would benefit from using this as a resource for their own learning about the topic as well as a stimulus for teaching ideas. Students would profit from viewing the clip and the illustrations that accompany the narration would help them make sense of the content, however it is fast paced so I would recommend a double viewing to enhance comprehension. The first run through could purely be for observation and the second run through could provide an opportunity for students to practice their note taking skills, thus creating a link to literacy. “The impact of the internet has been global and far-reaching in its facility to disseminate information quickly to online users.” (Winch, 2010, p. 400) Teaching Idea: Construct a timeline as a class of all the major events in history that have contributed to Climate Change/global warming eg. Industrial Revolution, population growth & consumerism. There is a numeracy link here in which students are to come up with an appropriate scale for the timeline. (Students may have to conduct further research) Alternatively, a class discussion could take place surrounding an important quote from the clip “We must live within natures budget of renewable resources at rates of natural replenishment.” Ask students to elaborate on this – What does it mean? What are renewable resources? Assessment Task: Ask students to evaluate the positive and negative aspects of the effects of human changes on the environment. Divide the class into two and ask each student to contribute one response and allocate a scribe to put the ideas into a mind map. Students can then write an exposition (literacy strategy) using the points as cues in determining whether or not they believe the positives outweigh the negatives or vice versa.

May, 16, 2013 Guardian Environment - Nafeez Ahmed: US National Strategy for the Arctic Region prioritises corporate 'economic opportunities' at the expense of everyone else.. At the heart of the White House's new Arctic strategy is an elementary but devastating contradiction between what President Obama, in the document's preamble, describes as seeking "to make the most of the emerging economic opportunities in the region" due to the rapid loss of Arctic summer sea ice, and recognising "the need to protect and conserve this unique, valuable, and changing environment."... http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/earth-insight/2013/may/17/obama-arctic-energy-security-climate

pdjmoo's insight:
Climate Change is the RESULT not the cause. It is a combination of factors and behaviors we have been engaging in over the past centuries that have depleted and devasted our ecosystems, biodiversity and environments that have created an imbalance in our biosphere that it cannot absorb or maintain. Emptying our oceans; urban growth; CO2 emissions into atmosphere; destruction of nature's biodiversity balance; pesticides poisoning soils, species and water changing the eco and chemical balance. Big Agriculture and it's dependence on fossilfuels. Do we want to live in a world devoid of nature, wildlife, living off lab-created food and pharmaceuticals? Our body is part of the greater planetary body - it is designed to respond to the outer circumstances of the greater web of life. If we do not put our efforts to restoring it, we may well may become an extinct species on this planet by end of century. Without our natural world we do not exist. To the degree She is sick and out of balance so are we. Let us beginning responding to course correct. Our fellow travellers (other species) on this planet are suffering and disappearing fast. This is within our power. Delete the scoop?

May 20, 2013 Democracy Now EXCELLENT VIDEO; As the carbon dioxide in the air hits 400 parts per million for the first time in human history, some are arguing that the best way address climate change is to use the controversial practice of geoengineering — the deliberate altering of the Earth’s ecological and climate systems to counter the effects of global warming. ... The arguments for and against climate engineering revealing the extent of vested interests linking researchers, venture capitalists and corporations with Clive Hamilton, professor of public ethics at Charles Sturt University in Canberra, Australia, He’s the author of Earthmasters: The Dawn of the Ag, e of Climate Engineering. There’s virtually no regulation of geoengineering. And when it comes to sulfate aerosol spraying, there’s nothing to prevent a government, any government, or even a corporation or a billionaire with a messiah complex, from launching a program of taking control of the Earth’s weather by installing this kind of solar shield. So the absence of governance, the absence of regulation and the exclusion, particularly of people from poor and vulnerable countries, is a very serious concern…. http://thenaturaleye.wordpress.com/2011/08/03/raining-chemicals-from-the-skies-geoengineering/

Daniel LaLiberte's curator insight,
May 27, 3:24 PM
We are ALREADY messing with nature, absolutely and catastrophically. We must stop that, no question, as soon as possible, as fast as feasible. Whatever we do should NOT be used as a substitute for eliminating all fossil fuel burning. Full stop!
But it simply won't be enough to merely stop burning fossil fuels, because it is too late to stop the reinforcing feedbacks that will make things much much worse. If we don't do anything more, then we are giving up, we are admitting defeat and accepting all the worsening destruction that follows.
To restore nature, we have NO choice but to mess with nature some more in order to actively counter the effects and the causes of global warming and all the rest of our destructive practices. We must do it right, of course, and not make things worse. It is not enough to deal with just the symptoms of the problems, but we must get at the underlying causes. We must do it on a global scale, because the problems are global. It won't be a short term solution because these are necessarily long term problems that require long term solutions.
We MUST save the planet by messing with nature. But we also must solve a large number of other problems that allowed us to get into this mess. Unrestrained irresponsible exploitation of nature for the benefit of a few is at the root of all those problems. Delete the scoop?

June 3, 2013 Science Daily A mismatch between the departure schedules of songbirds and higher spring temperatures at their breeding sites means they are arriving 'late' for the advanced spring and likely missing out on peak food they need to be productive breeders. Aerial insectivores, like purple martins and other swallows, are experiencing strong population declines, particularly species migrating longer distances and populations breeding further north. Scientists have shown in a European species that declines may be due to an inability to advance arrival schedules to match a warming climate. This study provides the first direct evidence of a discrepancy between higher spring temperatures at breeding sites and departure schedules of individual songbirds..... http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/06/130603135525.htm

Call it irony, if you will, or call it a nightmare, but Big Oil evidently has no qualms about making its next set of profits directly off melting the planet. Its top executives continue to plan their futures (and so ours), knowing that their extremely profitable acts are destroying the very habitat, the very temperature range that for so long made life comfortable for humanity. Their prior knowledge of the damage they are doing is what should make this a criminal activity. And there are corporate precedents for this, even if on a smaller scale. The lead industry, the asbestos industry, and the tobacco companies all knew the dangers of their products, made efforts to suppress the information or instill doubt about it even as they promoted the glories of what they made, and went right on producing and selling while others suffered and died.... http://www.commondreams.org/view/2013/05/23-4

We will have enough trouble repairing the centuries of accumulated damage to the environment (to the extent we can) without simultaneously creating more. No matter what, we need to shut down the entire fossil fuel industry as soon as possible, as fast as feasible. Delete the scoop?

May 11, 2013 New York Times Scientists are working hard to understand the life that teems within our soil and that is threatened by farming and development... Forget the term “dumb as dirt.” The complex soil ecosystem is highly evolved and sophisticated. It processes organic waste into soil. It filters and cleans much of the water we drink and the air we breathe by retaining dust and pathogens. It plays a large role in how much carbon dioxide is in the atmosphere. Soil, with all of its organic matter, is second to the oceans as the largest carbon repository on the planet. Annual plowing, erosion and other mismanagement releases carbon in the form of carbon dioxide, and exacerbates climate change... http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/12/opinion/sunday/the-hidden-world-of-soil-under-our-feet.html?ref=opinion&_r=0

BIOLOGICAL DESERTS: THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF THE GMO MONOCULTURE BIOFUEL AND PALM OIL INDUSTRY The mass clearing of trees for farmland disturbs the ecosystem of the rainforest by decimating rare and exotic flora and fauna. With the planting of a single crop plantation, the natural biodiversity of the rainforest is lost. The mono-crop culture that has long-plagued environmentalists in the west displaces or destroys most of the species in a single sitting, as they are unable to adapt to living within vast acres of a single crop. The environment, habitats and species that are destroyed have lived together since the dawn of the rainforest, and the damage caused by palm oil farming is irreversible http://sco.lt/9AeHbN

Its phasing out of oil has proceeded smoothly; in 1970, oil accounted for 77% of Sweden’s energy, but by 2003 that figure fell to 32%.... http://theenergycollective.com/znesheiwat/208421/swedens-quest-be-first-oil-free-nation Via UtilityTree, Stephane Bilodeau

April 9, 2013 - Abut My Planet Climate modeling has become an important method of attempting to determine the impacts of climate change in years to come. However, climate modeling is not without faults. Climate modeling is an evolving process which is refining along the way. A new study based on plants indicates that some significant tweaking is required for some climate models. Led by Dr. Elizabeth Wolkovich from the University of British Columbia, the study evaluated flowering and leafing plants for their blooming dates. Published in the journal Nature, the researchers determined that the current climate models are significantly lagging behind the real-time impacts of leafing and flowering plants... http://www.aboutmyplanet.com/environment/study-finds-plants-flowering-and-leafing-much-earlier-compared-to-climate-models/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Aboutmyplanetcom+%28aboutMyPlanet.com%29
