local-scale climate change that will likely affect our community:

• higher temperatures and change in precipitation patterns that will affect the agricultural industry 
• higher temperatures that will affect health of community members, especially those that are already considered "at-risk" and in poverty 

In previous posts I have written about my ideas of creating a MWEE that addresses how the local agricultural industry has already been, or will be affected by temperature and precipitation changes due to climate change. 

I think my students would also benefit from a lesson on health risks associated with increased temperatures. Over the years of teaching I have noticed more and more students that have asthma, almost every student at least knows someone who suffers from this condition. They would likely find a lesson on this informative and thought provoking.
