About the framework
Read climate change from causes to consequences
This organizer places Climate Change in a central diamond. Fossil Fuel Burning, Deforestation, Industrial Agriculture, and Urban Expansion feed into it from the left. Four connections lead out to Rising Sea Levels, Extreme Weather, Biodiversity Loss, and Food Insecurity on the right.
The nine labels make a discussion outline. They do not explain mechanisms, rank contributions, or show evidence for each connection. Ask students to expand one arrow into a sentence supported by their course materials.
To adapt the example, name a central event and separate the conditions leading to it from its consequences. Add intermediate steps where one broad arrow hides several relationships.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions
How many causes and effects are shown?
There are four causes and four effects around one central climate change node. Each is connected directly to the center.
Does an arrow explain why one item affects another?
No. The sample names broad relationships without explaining them. Add a mechanism or evidence note to make a classroom explanation more precise.
Can I use this for a history assignment?
Replace the center with the event you are studying, then supply four contributing conditions and four consequences from your sources.
