Aim: To look at the causes of climate change and how to prevent it.

Climate Change video; The Facts video

As you watch the video answer these questions:

What is our greatest threat in thousands of years? 

How do we see climate change affecting the globe? We see that animals are dying because of climate change and other countries that our turning hot because of the climate change.

Our greatest threat in thousands of years are...

1. Great storms.
2. Great Sea levels
3. Great floods
4.  Great heats of waves

What is needed to change history? The things we need to change are fossil burning's.

Is climate change a man made disaster? Yes because it is affecting our world.

Dramatic action must be made in the next  __ years to change it? we need to take dramatic action in the next 10 years.

Why is our climate changing? because we are burning fossils in order to get energy.

What is causing the warming trend of the climate? it is causing some animals to die and some plants to die if the soil get's to dry because of the climate change

What is the main problem? The main problem is the climate change that is affecting our world.

What are examples of these? animals dying, Great storms, Great Floods, Great heat waves, great sea levels.

Burning fossil fuels releases what gas? Burning fossil fuels release gas and makes energy.

How much hotter now is our world? our world is now around 1 degree hotter Celsius than before.

What do we call this global warming? 

How is this affecting creatures / animals like bats? it is affecting the animals to die because of heat and like if penguins liked the cold what if their was only heat penguins and other animals wasn't used to the heat they would become extinct.

What percentage of species are near extinction? some of the species that are dying because of this climate change are bats more than 11,000 bats died because of climate change.

How could this effect the world ecosystems? Climate change could affect some of our animals and our countries like green land.

What global change was seen and recording breaking last year? 2018's global temperatures were 1.90°F (1.06°C).

How is climate change affecting our weather systems?

1. Heavy rain to fall in heavy downpours.

2. Natural disasters

3. More Floods

What is another effect of climate change? Another thing that effect of climate change is Water levels.

What will happen if the ice melts in Antarctica and the Arctic? If the ice in Antarctica and the Arctic melts it would cost water levels to rise up and animals that are usually live in the cold could cause the animal to extinct.

How does this affect people? It affects people health.

What other things affect oceans change? it affects the ocean more seawater to rise and might cover some of our land.

What does to much heat do to coral? To much heat causes the corals to dry which leads to death.

Why did some industries not want to stop burning fossil fuels? Some industries didn't want to stop burning fossil fuels because of the energy it gives.

Investigation

You can decide on how you would like to do this investigation. Your presentation could be on the blog, slides, or PowerPoint.

Write a definition, upload an image and list where these fossil fuels are mined.

1. Coal - a black or dark brown rock that is found mainly in underground and used as fuel.

2. Oil - A liquid from petroleum that is also used as fuel for cooking and more. Oil can be found beneath the earths surface.

3. Natural Gas -  flammable gas, that can be found underground and use as fuel for modern technology. 

Write a paragraph and upload an image about each of these renewable energies.

1. Solar - Energy that comes from the sun.
2. Wind - electrical energy obtained from wind with windmills.
3. Waves - Wave energy is the transport and capture of energy by ocean surface waves.
4. Hydro - Hydro energy is energy  from the movement of water.

Write a 5 sentence reflection about what you have learnt about Climate Change and how it is going to affect us.

I have learnt that there's lots of changes happening to the world and how it's affecting our world. I have seen that some animals will die to the cause of this climate change like Bats and some animals that can't live without cold weather. I have also learnt that if the ice melts in countries like Antarctica and Arctic, the ice would melt into water and will straightly go to the ocean and will cause sea levels to rise up which might cause to cover some of our land. Climate change also cause storms which will destroy some of our city's. I also learnt that we must take dramatic action in the next 10 years.
