Positives

• Students can practice their graph analysis skills by describing the trends they notice in carbon emissions, over time by country. 
• This video could be a great introduction to discussing human impact on climate and having students generate observations and questions. 

Additional Prerequisites

• Students should be familiar with reading bar graphs. 
• The data does not begin at the start of industrialization, but the earlier data can be found using Our World in Data resources.
  

Differentiation

• To dig deeper into this resource, students can review the article about the analysis on Carbon Brief's website.
• History classes could incorporate this video into lessons about the Industrial Revolution or world history topics from the 1700s to the present day.
  
• In an English language arts or science class, have students generate a list of questions as they watch the video (watching a few times through or on a slower speed may be helpful). Then have students work in pairs to research and answer one of the questions they have.
