pg4

Four panes on this page of the graphic novel book Because IPCC show the teacher announcing the topic of the day and interacting with students.
Dialogue:
Ok class, today we’ll be learning about…
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
Does anyone know what that is?
It’s the thing that saved the world, right?
Yes, Wang Wei, that’s one way of putting it.

Third online page shows teacher using projector to show oil drilling, car exhaust and coal mining.
Dialogue:
There’s a hint there in the name.
The world had a big problem… with climate change.
Back then a lot of the world’s electricity came from burning a kind of flammable rock called coal.
Cars were powered, and houses were heated, and factories were run, using not vegetable oil or biogas, but liquids and gasses from underground – like those flammable rocks.

No matter how clean the smoke was from all that burning, it was still full of an invisible gas called carbon dioxide — 3 of 31

pg6

Four embedded panels in the students' lesson show climate induced disasters of the past - crops withering, wildlife suffering, cars flooded
Dialogue:
It was mostly that, but other things too, that caused big problems.
These changes in the air made our planet get hotter.
Plants and animals suffered; lots went extinct.
Sea levels rose; people’s homes were flooded.
And people started to go hungry.
And it looked like it was just going to keep getting worse... — 4 of 31
