Provides information on the cause of global warming but does not provide much information on its proposed effect on food production capacity. Students will have to search on the Internet for this information. An interesting class activity would be to divide the students into groups and make each group search for this information on a separate continent. Remind the students they need to consider any proposed changes in ocean currents or other annual weather occurrence when determining the long-term eff ects of global warming on annual rainfall, climate change, incidence of damaging storms, the ability of pests to reproduce, and changes in the length of growing seasons.
