In a Nutshell--Climate Change, Summer 2013, Part 5

Planet Nutshell
I'm telling you--it's the summer of Climate Change.

Every time I turn around, it's the topic of a lot of good info and good finds.  Even going to the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington DC the other day, many exhibits spoke on endangered animals and how many animal populations were affected by humans--particularly by way of climate change.  But, I'm getting ahead of myself, and that's a story for another day.


Planet Nutshell takes complex concepts and simplifies them in an easy to understand video format.  They put down the facts cleanly and simply, "in a nutshell."  Visit Planet Nutshell and you will find a series of 11 animated videos all on the science behind climate change.  These videos were created through a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and created in collaboration with Salt Lake City's KUEN TV.  Here's episode 1:
