由于生产和使用化石燃料造成的温室气体人为排放，我们的气候正在发生变化。目前大气中的二氧化碳水平最后一次出现是在300万年前，当时行星温度维持了北极骆驼的高温。作为科学家和教育工作者，我们应该感到有职业责任与那些向我们寻求知识和领导力的学生，以及那些未来将受到最大影响的学生，讨论气候变化等重大科学问题及其对人类的深远影响。我们提供简单到复杂的背景和例子，使和鼓励生物化学教育工作者经常将这个最重要的主题纳入他们的课堂。
Our climate is changing due to anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases from the production and use of fossil fuels. Present atmospheric levels of CO2 were last seen 3 million years ago, when planetary temperature sustained high Arctic camels. As scientists and educators, we should feel a professional responsibility to discuss major scientific issues like climate change, and its profound consequences for humanity, with students who look up to us for knowledge and leadership, and who will be most affected in the future. We offer simple to complex backgrounds and examples to enable and encourage biochemistry educators to routinely incorporate this most important topic into their classrooms.
