What’s the Connection Between Climate Change and Hurricanes: Addressing a Global and Imperative Issue

By Rhea Mursalin

What’s the Connection Between Climate Change and Hurricanes is a short film created by Charlie Parker with voice over by Tiffani Sitz for Planet Classroom’s Problem Solvers series. It addresses the major relationship between frequent and severe storms and the rising sea levels caused by climate change. Along with the educational and informative nature of this project, a demand for the protection of coastal communities is at the forefront of the film. 

Through the use of a picture slideshow and a voiceover, the film creators use scientific research to support their claims and state the urgency of issues to come in the next few decades. The argument presented is certainly expressed with gravity with the bottomline being the safety of human lives. In terms of production, closed captions or some synopses on each slide would have been appreciated for accessibility purposes. 

I would give this project 4 out of 5 stars.
