In this article, we’ll break down what the Medieval Warm Period was, its impact on the world, and how the lessons we can use from then to fight climate change today.

What was the Medieval Warm Period (MWP)?

Climate History: Medieval warm period

Climate Skeptics often argue that the Medieval Warm Period was as hot as today, and that a warmer world is better for agriculture and human survival. But is this true? In today’s video we take a journey through history to the middle ages, debunk this common climate myth and explain some of the science behind it.

Debunking A Climate Myth | The Medieval Warm Period

In this article, we’ll provide an overview of why carbon is essential to life, how it is used, and what would happen without its existence.

Why is Carbon Essential to Life?

What is the Carbon cycle? The carbon cycle is one of several biogeochemical cycles found on Earth. Carbon is found in almost all living organisms and makes up around .04 percent of our atmosphere.
What are the steps of the carbon cycle and how does the Carbon cycle work? 
Carbon may travel several paths including,
The atmosphere, the terrestrial biosphere, the earth’s interior which includes the lithosphere, the ocean, and human influence like burning fossil fuels and other objects that store carbon.
In the video, I go through a carbon cycle diagram and explain each step.
Carbon can be found in several forms including carbon dioxide and methane.
The carbon cycle is essential for many ecosystems on Earth.

The Little Ice Age: Climate Change - World History - Part 1 - Extra History

In which John Green teaches you about the Little Ice Age. The Little Ice Age was a period of global cooling that occurred from the 13th to the 19th centuries. This cooling was likely caused by a number of factors, including unusual solar activity and volcanic eruptions. The Little Ice Age greatly impacted human social orders, especially during the 17th century. When the climate changed, and the weather became unpredictable, the world changed profoundly. Poor harvests led to hunger, which led to even less productivity, which even resulted in violent upheaval in a lot of places. All this from a little change in the temperature? Definitely.

Climate Change, Chaos, and The Little Ice Age: Crash Course World History #206

In this article, we’ll explain what coastal erosion is, why it’s a problem, and if coastal erosion can be prevented.

Can We Stop Coastal Erosion?

Coastal erosion is a natural, ongoing process that has been happening for thousands of years. This video explains how it happens and the factors that affect the rate of erosion.

What is coastal erosion?

Beach nourishment is the latest chapter in a never-ending tale of erosion. 

Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO

About 80 to 90 percent of sandy beaches along America's coastlines are eroding. This is a problem because the developments humans build near them are static. So as beaches shrink, coastal hazards can threaten to damage or destroy homes and businesses while negatively impacting tourism that depends on the beach. 

The most popular strategy to counter these risks is a process called beach nourishment. Coastal engineers will add new sand to an eroding beach in order to rebuild or expand the shoreline. 
Watch the video above to learn more about how beach nourishments can help defend the coast but are problematic as a long-term solution.
