[AAACE-NLA] Climate change, you and your students: critical reading skills

[AWilder106@aol.com]

Colleagues--

About 2 years ago I inserted climate change into a discussion.   I think it 
is a variable to consider in our professional lives and our personal lives.

The short version follows:

1)     The Gulf Stream is slowing down amd   making a sharper turn to 
N.America in the N. Atlantic                rather than going further north before 
turning.   

2)     This is possibility what is causing the extra cold and snowy winter in 
Europe.

3)     This is possibly also what is causing the warm/wet winter on the east  
 coast, and the stronger           hurricane season in the Gulf.

4)     If you want to know more, tap   Gulf Stream 30%;   Ocean conveyor 
belt; younger dryas, and any other   terms   which pop out at you from the 
articles you read, into Google. (These terms are just the ah...tip of the iceberg.)

5)     It is possible to go from global warming to global cooling (that 
iceberg again) within 10 years.

This is our future, folks, and   the future of adult students. This could 
take advocacy to a new level.

Yours in critical literacy--

Andrea
