Any given hurricane, prolonged drought or scorching hot day might be more likely to occur because of the changing climate. But there will always be weather anomalies; just like in sports, records will be set. Images can be very powerful (like a [video of a starving polar bear](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnn1h7P0ToaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxNy8xMi8xMS93b3JsZC9jYW5hZGEvc3RhcnZpbmctcG9sYXItYmVhci5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU1JmVtYz1lZGl0X2xuXzIwMjQwMjAyJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTExNDExMiZubD10aGUtbGVhcm5pbmctbmV0d29yayZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTU3MDg3JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgplunvTvGV06BcBUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~)), and they can be an important resource in helping young people to see the effects of a warming planet. But perhaps no visual can tell the story of climate change more succinctly, and more effectively, than graphs. Because a single graph can show change over time.
