1- ETB is hard
2- Data based questions form the main bulk of STQs
3- how climate change can be detrimental to the biodiversity in different biomes

What I want to know:
1- How to study such a huge topic, what are the main ideas I need to know?

what i have learned:
- climate change is real
- climate change affects many aspects of life, from geographical range shifts, to spread of vector borne diseases.

queries:
- must we memorise data?

1) I learned about the various causes and consequences of climate change in detail, how everything is linked.

2) How many named examples do we need to support each point in our frq

Shi Yu

2017-08-04 05:35:57 UTC

I learnt:
1. The impact of climate change on biodiversity, food supply, animals, plants etc
2. How human activities increase the concentration of greenhouse gases like methane and carbon dioxide ( agriculture, burning of fossil fuels, deforestation)
3. How climate change increase the occurrence of vector borne disease (by increasing the development and geographic range of insects
Queries:
Since large leaves and small leaves are both adaptations to reduce loss of water through transpiration, if such as questions comes out how do we answer?

How climate change causes rise in sea level
how GHG causes global warming

How climate change is related to other topics besides the part on dengue

Gwyneth

2017-08-04 05:36:02 UTC

I learnt about :
1. How climate change affects different areas in various ways
2. Effect of climate change on the functioning of various animals e.g. insects

What I want to know:
1. How to understand those concepts that seem to contradict e.g. diffusion shells

Joel Hong

2017-08-04 05:36:02 UTC

What I've learnt:
- Impact of climate change on ecosystem as a whole (humans/sea levels/insects/spread of diseases etc)
- Causes of climate change

Queries:
- How many named examples do we need to remember?
- Are most climate change questions data-based like the tutorial? or will there be factual recall of the content taught?

Nicole-Ann

2017-08-04 05:36:16 UTC

I learnt about
1. The impact of climate change on biodiversity and its effects on humans
2. The effect of climate change on vector-borne diseases

Queries
1. Are we required to learn all the examples for each section or are there specific sections for which examples are necessary?

Are we expected to know the scientific name for the named examples?

2. Are we expected to know the statistics under each section? Eg. rise in CO2 levels

Which ones are the most important for us to remember? Will these statistics serve as markings points or are they supplementary?

What I've learnt:
1. Cause (natural and human), manifestation and consequence of climate change on biodiversity and behaviour of plants and animals
2. Life cycle of (italicised) Aedes mosquito and mode of infection of dengue
3. Quoting values for data takes a lot of time :<<
Queries:
1. How detailed should we be when citing the examples?

Weiqin

2017-08-04 05:36:21 UTC

2 things I learnt from ETB:
1. How climate change can affect the biodiversity and distribution of plants and animals, including insect vectors that spread infectious diseases
2. How human activities can contribute to a rise in greenhouse gas emissions that leads to further changes in the Earth's climate

What I would like to know:
1. How ETB can be linked to the other topics

Yuqi

2017-08-04 05:36:30 UTC

LEARNT

- the causes of climate change, both natural and anthropogenic-
- the consequences of climate change on the environment, including precipitation and ice cap melting-
- how climate change affects plant and animal morphology and behavioural patterns
- how Aedes mosquitoes and DENV work

QUERIES

- the entire topic is so interconnected I dont know where to stop writing for FRQ and long questions gg
- why is ETB so confusing connect here there everywhere

Cindy

2017-08-04 05:36:37 UTC

- reasons to the rise of climate change
- effect of climate change on weather, habitats, plants, insects diversity, and spread of diseases

2017-08-04 05:36:41 UTC

I learnt:
1. How

Boya

2017-08-04 05:36:43 UTC

I've learnt about the causes of global warming (the main gases responsible), the impact of global warming on plants and animals (particularly insects) as well as the life cycle and spread of Aedes
mosquito.

How do we write succinctly for answers? What other topics can climate change be linked to?

Woosh

2017-08-04 05:36:50 UTC

What I learnt
1. Anthropogenic causes of climate change
2. Impacts of climate change with specific reference to life cycles of insects and impacts to humanity

Queries:
How much detail are we required to know about the topic

Charlotte

2017-08-04 05:36:54 UTC

What I have learnt:
1. Climate change impacts many different aspects

2. The causes of climate change

questions:
I'm not very sure how to be succinct when answering the questions

I learnt:
- causes of anthropogenic climate change
- effects of climate change on biodiversity, animals, insects and plants

sorry cindy again

2017-08-04 05:41:59 UTC

the dengue part is a bit everywhere and not sure which parts are the most important in forming a complete answer

so many effects OTL

2017-08-15 01:25:16 UTC

Very informative

2017-08-15 01:34:50 UTC

Can genetics and inheritance be linked to ETA?

For the hawks

2017-08-15 01:57:40 UTC

- What is this potential value of land that you mentioned, and
- Why does its potential value dismiss due to slash and burn?
- What would be the consequences of this?

Thanks :)
