VIDEO FACT-CHECK REGISTER — TEACHING EXAMPLE
Source S1: NASA Land Surface Temperature, https://science.nasa.gov/earth/earth-observatory/global-maps/land-surface-temperature/
Source S2: EPA Benefits of Trees and Vegetation, https://www.epa.gov/heatislands/benefits-trees-and-vegetation
Checked 2026-09-07. No local measurement or guest interview performed.
C1 Draft: The red patch proves the air here is 12 degrees hotter. Decision: reject. No local dataset, comparison or air measurement supports the number.
C2 Draft: A satellite land-surface temperature map measures the same thing as the weather forecast. Decision: correct. S1 distinguishes surface temperature from air temperature.
C3 Draft: Trees can cool through shade and evapotranspiration. Decision: retain with appropriate scope. S2 supports mechanisms, not a local guaranteed amount.
C4 Draft: Every tree cools every street by the same amount. Decision: reject. Sources do not establish that universal claim.
C5 Draft: Our guest measured this exact street. Decision: remove until primary evidence verifies the real guest and work. No guest is booked in the teaching example.
C6 Visual: Paint a red region on an invented map and present it as observed data. Decision: label as illustration or replace with cleared real data and metadata.
Corrected passage: A land-surface temperature map tells us about the surface seen by the sensor. It is not the same measurement as the air temperature in a weather report. Trees can influence temperatures through shade and evapotranspiration, but these sources do not establish a particular temperature difference on this street. We would need the relevant data and measurement context to make that claim.
