The most iconic quote of the 1990s was delivered by Jaleel White, confronting a criminal gang.
Steve Urkel: “It's only fair to warn you that I'm a black belt in karate and I used to practice in the Sahara Forest!"
Osgood: “Man, the Sahara is a desert!"
Steve Urkel: “Oh, sure! Noooow!"
Is Family Matters the best evidence of human-caused climate change? I’d argue that yeah, it is. I tried to convince our team that we could use a clip from Family Matters to explain the desertification of the Sahara, but nooooo. They wanted to make a whole new video.
Fine. We can blame axis wobbles and overgrazing. But 90s kids know who really ended the green Sahara.
Urkel might be off the airwaves, but have you seen Europe right now? Yikes. And another heat dome is set to hit the US East Coast. It’s gonna be a long summer, folks. What’s your best discussion starter to get students talking about humanity’s long history of causing climate change?
