Where do you think is a good place to put this image?

I like this image because I think it speaks to how certain areas are more vulnerable to climate change than others. It also speaks to what happens when we don't have enough vegetation. But it's not really about emissions or the grand challenges.

How should I best use it in the course?

    Agreed, this image is really useful. I like that it's pretty intuitive, even if the students aren't very familiar with Celsius. 

    Climate wasn't even on my radar for my classes yet because I'm aligned more with WHP 1200, but I'm thinking when I teach about the Sahel region in Unit 2 this might be a good "think about it" type of image to start the lesson.

    That's a good idea, Will Nash . 

    When you talk about the Sahel, do you look at it from an ancient perspective, a current geological region, or a climate evolution?

    In 1200, historically I've been focused on Mali/Songhai. I'm going to try to get out of my comfort zone this year and look at it a little more holistically, especially because I want to talk about the Coup Belt at the end of the year and link it to climate change.

    That sounds interesting,  Will Nash 

    In a nutshell, how will you go about linking coups to climate?
