This video is a great link for how to teach global warming to young children in terms they can understand through the use of a cartoon character. I highly reccomend watching the video or playing it for your children. I found it to be quite educational and very cute.

I watched this video and thought it was educational and very appropriate for explaining the idea of global warming to children. I think one of the most important ways of changing the way we live in order to fix this huge problem today, is by educating our future. This video does a great job explaining what global warming is, along with the greenhouse effect, and what we can do to try and make this less of an issue in our everyday lives. I like how it uses real examples such as the ice melting on kilimanjaro, and the GHGs such as methane and carbon dioxide. It doesn't completely leave out all the important details in order to better explain to a young mind. Children are the ones who must be educated so that when they grow up, they are already aware of what is going on and can hopefully act on this from the get-go.
