Short Answer
What do you know about the history of the climate change debate? Why do you think humans are having such a challenging time fighting climate change? Why has humanity not united to fight this threat?
Teaching Suggestion: You could scaffold this question according to grade and ability level, but because the poem focuses on the human response to climate change, it is important to get students thinking right away about the conversations surrounding climate change more than just the science. Because climate change is a political issue, it may be useful to give students access to scientific sources that provide concrete evidence for climate change. The first link below from the United Nations is a good place to start.
