Dr Margi Bohm from the Australian National University (anu.edu.au) describes how land use effects our climate. This as part of a series on how humans effect our climate. 

This clip has been created by the Research School of Earth Sciences (rses.anu.edu.au). These resources are part of a comprehensive program, curriculum matched to the unit 'The changing Earth - the cause and impact of Earth hazards'. 

This video touches on the following curriculum descriptors:
