Organic farming and climate change

Scott interviews farmer Graham Brookman of the Food Forest. Organic farming methods used on crops -- from pistachios to pomegranates -- are the way forward to finding what will adapt to climate change. Graham declares 'More humans and less machinery', whilst the goal is to find the healthiest and hardiest crops for the future.

How climate change is impacting mangroves

Mangroves are the home to many different animals and sea creatures and play the crucial role of protecting coastlines against erosion during big storms. Unfortunately, due to the impact of climate change, mangroves are under threat and as we're taught all of the important roles mangroves play in nature, we also reflect on how important it is to preserve them for the future.

Climate change may cause too many girl turtles

For turtles, gender is decided by the temperature of an egg rather than by genes, which means that turtles are one animal being noticeably effected by climate change. Scientists have noticed an increase in the number of girl turtles being born and are exploring what they can do to slow down this trend and what impact it may have down the line.

Climate

Climatic change is the main focus of this episode and we examine long term climate change based on data from ice cores, tree rings and other evidence. This provides a perspective from which students can understand the current debate on global warming and draw logical conclusion based on past and current evidence.

Research in Antarctica

Australia is one of many countries that has taken a stake in Antarctica, committed to using its land to research and learn more about things like climate change. For example, using special tools, scientists can study a piece of ice and understand more about past climate conditions. However, due to a shortage of funds, Australia has run into some problems with its research and many are working to find a solution for the future.

DIY sea level experiments

Junior scientist Luci shows the effects of climate change and explains why melting ice caps raise sea levels more drastically that floating icebergs. To explore these differences at home, you will need two large blocks of ice (preferably the same size), a brick or tub of stones, two large transparent containers, a large jug of water and some food dye.
