Climate Change

In Room 1 we have been learning about climate change. I enjoyed voice typing on to my docs. I found it challenging to find facts. Next time i will type it on.

Climate Change
How we can stop climate change? Do you even know what climate change is? Some people think that global warming is the same thing is climate change…but it's not! 

What is climate change?
Climate change is the affect the warmer weather has on our planet.
The changing climate will make our weather more extreme and unpredictable. As temperature rises some areas will get wetter and lots of animals could find that they cannot cope with the changing climate. 

What is global warming?
Global warming is the warming up of our planet. The earth has warmed up and around 1 degrees Celsius over the last Century.  

What causes climate change?
-Burning of gas, oil and fuels that release gas into the atmosphere. 
This acts like an invisible blanket trapping heat from the sun and warms the Earth.
-Cows eating builds up gas called methane gas in the stomach which makes them fart. With almost 1.5 billion cows farting methane gas into the atmosphere this is not good.
-Forests soak up carbon dioxide from the air and releases oxygen back into it. Lots of these rainforests are being cut down to clear for farmlands and roads. 

How will it affect our planet?
- More Rainfall 
-Changing seasons 
-Shrinking sea ice 
-Rising sea levels 
-Some wildlife
