I got an email this morning from library board member and CESA-10 Media Specialist Jan Adams cluing me in to a great site highlighting the unique (and uniquely mercurial) climate of the Badger State.
Climate Wisconsin has different sections exploring different types of weather and the impact that climate change has had on Wisconsin's climate. If one clicks on "Birkebeiner," for example, one learns that this famous ski race has been more and more difficult to hold as winters have become warmer, on average, and snow conditions have deteriorated accordingly. If one clicks on "Ice Fishing," one learns that Wisconsin lakes stay frozen for shorter periods than they once did, and the ice is nowhere near as thick as it once was.
The site would be a great resource for teachers exploring climate change with their students, especially if a teacher wanted to put a local spin on it.
If you know a teacher (or student), share the link, would you?
