• Climate change is heat being added to the environment through greenhouse gases produced by industrial activities.

• Greenhouse gases are good on its own but there is a excessive amount of it

• Fossils fuels are burned to make energy made of plant and fossils from the prehistoric era

• Climate change is causing heat waves, floods, droughts, wildfires and wildfires

• Hotter atmospheres can hold more water in the air leading to heavy rain which leads to floods.

• Warmer temperatures cause icesheets to melt faster into ocean

• Droughts can lead to wildfires

• Mediterranean could become too hot for the current lifestyles

• Sea level rise affects everyone but low lying nations are most at risk

• Electricity using wind and sun is good for environment

• Using electric cars and cycling more can help

• We need to limit Climate change as much as possible

• Solar and wind are a lot cheaper now.

• People have started caring and feel concern about climate change

Reflection:

Changing a part of our lifestyle can help out with the situation and we need to try our best to curb global warming and not be complacent.

• heat being added to the earth system (caused by: fossil fuels etc-->adding co2 into atmosphere-->greenhouse gas effect)

• greenhouse gases are actually good but only in moderation, work like a nice, warm blanket around the planet, but the problem is that we are adding more of these "layers" and the Earth will gain excessive heat

• energy sector is the biggest part of the problem (eg. when we use vehicles/burn fossil fuels)

• climate change is turbocharging all sorts of bad weather events, eg. wildfire, floods, droughts

• a hotter atmosphere acts like a sponge, meaning that there is a lot of rain in a hot atmosphere

• floods have destroyed countries like pakistan, sea levels continue to rise, also causing ice to melt and flow into water quicker

• hotter and drier vegetation, it is easy for fire to spread more rapidly and wildly

• heat waves in the last couple of years in western Europe have claimed thousands of lives

• with climate change, countries like the Middle East would experience extreme heat and many will suffer from the excessive heat

• instead of using coal, make electricity from the sun or winter binds

• get involved in voting

• 12 years ago renewables were still expensive, however in the last few years solar panels etc got more affordable

• people got more aware of climate change and it become one of their top concerns recently

2. We burn fossil fuels to produce energy but carbon dioxide is also produced

3. Climate change makes droughts, heat waves and floods occur more frequently

   
   

4. As the ocean heats up, there is more hot water than cold water

5. Most regions in the Mediterranean might become too hot for habitation due to the heat waves

6. There is no point where it is too late to stop and slow down global warming

7. It is important to vote and get engaged into policy as these policy makers have a lot of sway in the matters of climate change(see if this policy makers want to focus on environmentalism.

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, which is good, but too much of it will make the earth too hot.

The world getting hotter will cause extreme weather events like floods, droughts and heat waves.

Ice will melt and also move faster towards the ocean, raising sea levels and flooding countries.

Our world relies on energy, and we can use more effective and environmental friendly ways to get energy. Rather than burning fuels and factories, we can use electricity from solar panels and windmills.

We burn fossil fuels to generate energy for a variety of things, and they are made from millions-of-years-old of animals and plants. Since these are effective sources of energy, they are commonly burnt and hence carbon dioxide is released into the earth.

A hotter atmosphere, caused by climate change, can hold more water, and hence when there’s heavy rain, there’s more water pouring down, hence causing floods.

As the earth’s temperature increases, the water level increases, not to mention ice caps also begin to melt.

Since there’s hotter and drier vegetation, when a fire starts, it spreads fast.

Instead of usual power plants that burn coal, we can use wind turbines and solar panels.

Ultimately, we are in control of our climate change. Every tenth of a degree matters.

What can we do? Vote, get involved in the politics. The people we vote will have tons of control over how we tackle climate change.

What has changed 12 years? Renewables have become cheaper, and solar and wind has become much cheaper. Back then, people didn’t really notice or talk about it. As time goes on, more people talk about it, more people are aware of it, more people are more serious about climate change than a few years ago.

• Vote for your local senator and administrative representative today!

• Greenland is doomed

• as humans burn fossil fuels, we are putting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere

• carbon dioxide is greenhouse gases are like a warm blanket that insulates the planet

• however it is trapping too much heat

• climate change directly affects on places which are already hot, extreme heat is affecting different parts of the world, they might become too hot for habitation in coming years

• turbocharging all sorts of weather events like heatwaves, floods, droughts, wildfires

• floods —> hotter atmosphere acts like more effective sponge and holds more water so when there are heavy downpours, more water is absorbed

• warm water takes up more space in the ocean —> thermal expansion —> rising sea levels

• droughts in more places, hotter and drier vegetation allows fire to start more easily

• low lying island nations —> aren't high enough above sea levels —> people living need to relocate

• it gets progressively worse

• electricity from solar panels or windmills

• electric vehicles to eliminate use of petrol

  
  

-More moisture in the atmosphere

-Ice sheets from Greenland rapidly decreasing

-Droughts,floods,heatwaves and wildfires

-Countries in middle east risk becoming too hot for habitation

-Low lying island nations being potentially flooded and destroyed

-Approaches such as using solar panels and electric vehicles to reduce greenhouse gases

-people now caring and concerned about climate change now that it got serious when it could have been solved if people worked together and cared when it was small and not serious

Sea level rising is causing flood, killing more than 1500 people in Pakistan

Making electricity from the sun or wind, use lesser fossil fuels

It’s never too late to make a difference, so we should start by taking climate change into our hands and climate change is starting to be one of the most concerned things to people

Oceans are getting warmer, sea levels are rising.

Ice caps are melting as well.

Pakistan’s sea levels are rising rapidly, causing about the deaths of 1500 people

• Why can't we stop the cause of climate change? -> Fuel cars, build houses, run factories, power transportation etc

• Causes heatwaves, flood, droughts, wildfires etc

• Floods: Hotter atmosphere -> Hold more water, there's more water in the atmosphere, so when it rains, it pours

  -> floods

• Thermal expansion

• Warmer temperature -> Ice sheets to melt, increase in rate of ice loss

• Droughts -> Wildfires

• Fire: Hotter and drier vegetation, cause fires to grow and spread widely

• Countries will become too hot for habitation

• Can't control climate change -> Nations ceasing to exist

• Instead of traditional power plant (Uses coal), can use power from the Sun (Solar panels)

• Instead of putting petrol in cars, use electric cars

• The Earth's temperature should not go up even by 1°C or 2°C

A student along with his professors also designed a battery that could replace the problematic lithium batteries.

Sometimes producers may falsely claim to be organic in the ways they are grown of how their fish are being caught. However, they might still be using pesticides and trawl their seafood which is harmful to the environment. Hence, as consumers, we shouldn’t completely trust the labels as they may still be wrong, but we can try our best to eat responsibly and sustainably.

Thailand is overfished such that amount of fish caught per hour has decreased by 90% compared to the past

there are mislabelled organic products and organic products are more expensive as they take longer to produce have 20% less produce compared to general products

however, are there any bad sides to this bubble barrier? for example, will small fish not be able to swim through.

Certain plans to remove cats, sterilise/neuter them, care for their injuries and re-release them have been considered. However, locals believe that whatever happens to the cats is natural, and that there shouldn’t be any interference or intervention.

Many cats, under a year old, tend to have URIs, (Upper Respiratory Infections) which negatively impact their welfare, and nasal or eye discharge runs rampant among these felines.

• Bubble curtain pumps air through a perforated tube which creates an upward current -> directs plastic to the surface

• Bubble barrier is placed diagonally across the river and pushes plastic waste to the side.

• Catchment system works with bubble curtain to collect and retain plastic

• Plastics collected will be processed

  
  

• Depth: 200m – 1000m below the surface.

• Sunlight: Very little light reaches this zone—not enough for photosynthesis, but faint enough that it’s dimly lit.

• Conditions: Cold, high pressure, and dark.

• Life: Many strange animals live here, such as lanternfish, squid, and creatures that use bioluminescence (producing their own light) to hunt or camouflage.

• Importance: Plays a huge role in the carbon cycle, as organisms here move carbon from the surface to the deep sea.

The only available foods are faecal matter and food scraps that fall from the upper parts of the ocean.

Despite the water pressure and darkness, animals such as the lanternfish, or helmeted jellyfish have adapted and evolved to the conditions. Using bioluminescence, they attract prey and communicate with others of their species.
