Natural disasters such as hurricanes, tropical storms, tsunamis, and landslides have the potential to be the source of a tremendous amount of marine debris. High winds, heavy rain, storm surge, and flooding associated with these disasters can pull large structures, household products, and outdoor items into surrounding waters.

Climate change vs global warming in Antarctica.

Global warming is the term used to describe the current increase in the Earth's average temperature. Climate change refers not only to global changes in temperature but also to changes in wind, precipitation, the length of seasons as well as the strength and frequency of extreme weather events like droughts and floods.

What is climate change in my own words

Climate change is not only a change in temperature or season, but a constant change in weather. Sometimes it rain a lot and sometimes there is drought. The ice melts from the mountains because of global warming and then there won't be snow. Then there can be floods.

If the water gets hotter and hotter in Antarctica, the animals that live there, like penguins and other sea mammals will die.

Global warming v.s climate change in Antartica

scientist, global warming describes the average global surface temperature increase from human emissions of greenhouse gases. Its first use was in a 1975 Science article by geochemist Wallace Broecker of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory: "Climatic Change:

OWN WORDS

GLOBAL WARMING IS….  global warming is affecting people,animals and the earth. Because of the heat plants are dying and animals habitats are vanishing. People are sweating almost all the time,  no matter how many times they shower. It does not help at all just because of global warming.

WEATHER CONDITION - GLOBAL WARMING EFFECTS IN ANTARCTICA

Global warming and climate change is affecting Antarctica,because it is melting the ice then the water gets hotter and hotter. Then land animals like polar bears have no place to rest and hunt for fish or any other small animals

Mr Appleby
Isla, this will be a great example for our map. Can you find one example of a drought or flood that has happened recently?

Climate change makes the ices melt. That will cause the sea level to rise. The sea level got higher and this island called Nuatambu island started to go inside the water. The Nuatambu island was home to 25 families, but 11 houses got washed out

Mr Appleby
Gahyun, you have a clear understanding of how climate change is affecting sea levels and have found a good example to pin on the map, well done.

Australia is a hot and hilly terrain this environment is perfect for bush fires. Over the time of global warming fires have become common in various parts of the content and they are becoming more dangerous.

In the Netherlands the sea is rising while big parts are already below sea level.
The Netherlands have a solution  by making the dikes, dams and dunes higher and bigger.
if we don`t act the Netherlands wil be gone in a few years.This is also happening to more countries.
The high water protection program started in 2017.

Sea level is rising and people are geting affected in the Maldives. Already now fresh water is hard to find and there are erosion and floods that is destroying harvests.

If the global warming continious there are predictions saying that sea level will rise half a meter until the year 2100. If that happens the Maldives will lose 77 percent of its land area. Today 400 000 people that lives in the country  will have less space to live on.

change the UK have had an  increase of the number of floods. Also other cities and countrys are in danger of  the sea  level rising rapidly.

Scientists think that if climate change increases the world temperature by just 3 percent then 75 percent of the Amazon rainforest would be destroyed. Since the Amazon gives us more than 20 percent of the oxygen that we need this would be a big problem. Also, people are cutting down trees for homes and industry in the Amazon and this causes climate change and we need to help stop the people cutting too many trees.

Mr Appleby
Eva, this is great. Are there people in or near the Amazon rain forest that are affected?

Global warming has caused the global ocean temperatures to increase, and this change has caused the increase in hurricane intensity.  Hurricanes are formed when they gather heat and energy through contact with warm ocean waters.  Warmer sea surface temperatures are the main cause of energy fueling hurricanes and making them more destructive.

Mr Appleby
Dylan, there is a lot of detail here in your explanation of how climate change can cause hurricanes. Please find a place where a hurricane has happened recently and you can use that for the climate change map.

The sea level around the world is rising every year because of huge amount of ice caps melting. Many countries and big cities are in danger in the nearest future if we don't act.
And this includes the biggest and the most inhabited cities in the world like New York in US, Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, Cairo in Egypt, Mexico City in Mexico, Tokyo in Japan, Jakarta in Indonesia, Mumbai in India, Ho Chi Min in Vietnam, Shanghai in China.

Mr Appleby
Julia, you have found lots of examples of places that are in danger from rising sea levels, well done. Please choose one to make your news report and pin on our climate map.

Because people in China are burning lots of coal every year, the environment is changing.The snow, instead of staying white, it turns into grey after a while it falls onto the ground .And also because of climate change, weather patterns are changing, the winter gets longer and it is getting colder,and the summer gets even hotter.

Mr Appleby
CC, there are a lot of ideas here. Please choose one that you can locate on a map and use for your news report. Let me know if I can help you to decide. For example, is there a place in the world that has longer winter weather (and can you find data?)

# data[].attributes.body
Global warming is causing climate change and climate change is causing ice caps to melt. When the ice caps melt the sea level rises because the melted water flows into the sea so that is what causes the sea level to rise.

Mr Appleby
Anant, can you find a place where people are directly affected by this problem?

# data[].attributes.body
global warming is causing sea level rise that causes big monsoon. then the flood happen so the flood will destroy homes. because of the global warming the polar ice melts and that causes a big storm.

Global warming is causing the sea temperature to rise, and that causes corals to turn white, which means they get destroyed and die. If the corals die, sea animals will not have food anymore and die as well. That will imbalance the food chain.

Mr Appleby
Miya, it is true that the barrier reef is being affected by global warming, but it is not only sea levels rising. Let's look together to find out what exactly happens with global warming that can CAUSE damage to coral reef.
