The
exciting Climate Crossfire program uses the debate
over global warming to teach students about science,
social studies, and language arts. Students get
background on the issues from the Climate Crossfire
Study Guide. Then they attend an assembly where
they hear Chris
Edwards, award-winning meteorologist
and the weatherWhysguy, face off against Kevin
O’Shea, a Harvard Law School-educated
attorney and former national champion debater.

Together, Edwards and O'Shea explore climate change
in a dramatic and spontaneous face-to-face exchange,
complete with dynamic video elements and an extensive
period for student questions. The program concludes
with the provocative Climate Crossfire Discussion
Guide that enables a wide-ranging classroom examination
of the issues raised in the assembly. You can even
opt to have Edwards and O’Shea conduct classroom
discussions themselves, guiding students in turning
disagreement into consensus on a question they will
confront for decades to come!
