- Every citizen needs to be climate literate.
- The planet is warming due to the greenhouse effect, also known as global warming.
- The Earths climate is changing causing numerous problems with our weather, oceans, snow/ice, and ecosystems.
- Human health is being negatively impacted by climate change.
- Humans can take actions to increase the health of the planet
