Today I wrote a piece of explanatory write check it out

Climate change is when the climate is bad for mankind. Climate change is when the temperature in a place changes. Climate change can be a bad thing and a good thing at the same time an example of climate change can be, it can keep us warm enough for us to not get frostbite but it could also be bad because climate change creates CO2 (carbon dioxide) CH4 (methane) and N2O (nitrous oxide) which are all greenhouse gases that get trapped in the atmosphere and creates global warming.global warming is the current rise in the average temperature of Earth’s air and oceans.

I have 3 topics of how climate change and its caused by two sources, us humans and animals. Throughout human activities we create a lot of CO2 (carbon dioxide) which hurts the environment and the atmosphere. 1 of the three topics is burning fossil fuel. Fossil fuel is burned to create energy which is used to heat up water. The second topic is going to be about chopping down trees. It is good to chop down trees as long as you replant them because trees turn CO2 (carbon dioxide) into O (oxygen) and that lets us breathe. The third and last topic is going to be about farming livestock. It’s more of their waste going into the lakes and rivers which creates methane and nitrous oxide.

There are also many different things that can hurt the environment. One of these things that I am going to talk about is droughts. Climate change creates drought which is bad for the environment (a drought is an amount of time when an area experiences below-normal precipitation). The second one is going to be about greenhouse gases. greenhouse gases is when gas gets trapped in the atmosphere and warms up the planet like a greenhouse (greenhouses warm up a room for plants).

A way that we can try to change climate change is to use your car less, turn off devices when not in use, use less energy so the power companies don’t have to burn fossil fuels and don’t burn your rubbish because that can create greenhouse gases just to name a few. You should also let others know the effects of climate change because it affects all of us as well. Making plant-based foods can result in less greenhouse gas emissions.

 

Today i made a sign with a quote that i made because to try to stop climate change

Climate Change – Response to Texts

 

Think carefully about each question, and use evidence from the texts to support your conclusions. Write your answers in full sentences, and use explanations and examples where needed.

 

1. What are two of the largest sources of climate change? Explain what they are.

 

Source One:Greenhouse gases	Greenhouse gases are the reason most glaciers are melting and alarmingly increasing the temperature.
Source Two: examples of climate change	I am going to list so ideas that were in the article: Deforestation, greenhouse gases, droughts, temperature and climate

 

1. Explain what impact climate change is having on our environment. Include at least 2 examples.

 

Climate change decreases the amount of clean water. It also makes it that there are less rainy days but makes the days even more heavier than normal.

 

1. What are greenhouse gases?

 

Greenhouse gases can be good and bad and they are a mixture of many different gases. Also they can be good to not make the temperature too hot or too cold. They also make this planet habitable

 

1. How does deforestation contribute to climate change?

 

Because when the water levels rise we will take down some trees so we can have more space and instead of just leaving lots of open areas they place pine trees(They dont always put pine trees in those certain areas)because they are always straight and don’t take up too much space

 

1. Why is it important to reduce our carbon footprint?

 

It’s important to reduce carbon footprint because if we reduce it, then carbon emissions will give us better air, better water and we will also provide more food which means we are going to save some for our kids and grandkids to eat.

 

1. Do you think we, as New Zealanders,are doing a good job of slowing down climate change? Provide at least 2 reasons for your answer.

I think we are doing a good job because there are groups in New Zealand that are actually trying to slow down climate change, like for example The Climate Leaders Coalition as they are trying to reduce Emissions in New Zealand. But at the same time I don’t really think we are even helping, because there are some certain people in New Zealand as they might not know, but they are encouraging climate change, it’s also not their fault because they don’t know that they are. The people that are encouraging climate change are the people that own the factories, because of their smog.

 

 

Hello today I did four facts about climate change
