Yes. they say the world is going to end. When is that going to happen? Then they say it is happening now? They say hurry up save the world now - it makes me reall sad - my kids kids wont have a life - that is scary.
All the information we get contradicts each other - how do we know which one is true?
Why does everyone say they are going to do something but they never do it!
What is the government really doing to help? What is the world doing to help?
Climate change to me is global warming. All car companies should have to make all there cars LPG cars not petrol.

Why should a few more degrees of warmth be a cause for concern?

I think the best way to stop or slow climate change is to invest more time and money in renewable energy and water saving ideas. These two things I believe will be the fastest way to achieve a slow in climate change.
I believe climate change is becoming a big part of every young persons life. Climate change will affect us in the future and it is our responsibility to make a difference now.

Climate change could just be a natural thing, and has been going on forever.
there isnt really any need to do anything, about it, but we should use it as an excuse to get big corporations and the such to cut back on their pollutants.
See, people like it when they can breathe.
What is climate change?
the earth getting hotter less rain more storms.
What causes climate change?
Climate change is where you dont turn you electricity off and drive your cars all the time. Also where the earth gets hotter. Also when people burn wood and chemicals that get into the sky.
What can we do to solve climate change?
People need to drive less and they need to stop burning chemicals. Plant more trees. Stop cutting trees down.
Do you have a question about climate change?
What will happen if we dont do anything?

what is climate change? Climate Change is About the things we use everyday that produces Greenhouse Gases,that produces heat.Usually the Ozone Layer filters out the heat and Greenhouse Gases. The bad news is that the Ozone Layer has a hole in it so it means it will filter the Gases slower and keeping most of the heat in so that's hoe it is melting Antartica.

I do not like climate change.When will climate destroy the Artic?
what is Climate Change?
It is the day to day changes which occurs in the atmosphere.
What can we do to stop Climate Change?
We should stop increasing the rate of Green house gasses in the air, this is the main factor for whichclimate is getting worse.
What causes Climate Change?
Plant more trees that which do not require large quantity of water, intead of cutting them off(deforestation), We can save the climate from being destroyed by lots of other things.

What is Climate Change?
Climate Change is destroying or world by cause the temperture to get hotter.
What causes Climate Change?
It is cause by cars, chopping down trees and wasting water.
What can we do to stop Climate Change?
Stop wasting water, use solar power, stop driving your car and walk or ride instead and plant more trees.
climate change is when all the green house gases end up in the astmosphere.
all the gasses out of cars, trucks, motors ect get stuck in the astmosphere which wrecks our ozone layer.
We can stop climate change by use public transport instead of using cars.so we cut down on green house gases.
Anonmys Said
WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE?Climatechange is about how does the the weather goes and how the green house gases works.
WHAT CAUSES CLIMATE CHANGE?
If we don't recycle things we can cause climate change or if we don't use our electricity well like turning our TV off
when not using them.
WHAT CAN WE DO TO STOP CLIMATE CHNGE?
To stop climate change we have to start to recycle things and stop cuting trees down.

Climate change is causing the world to heat up and causing the icebergs in Antartica and the Arctic to melt.
climate change is caused by the greenhouse gases that we release into the atmosphere. We do this by driving our cars, using electricity, and using everyday items.
There is lots of things we can do to stop climate change, but we have to work together, everyone has to help. For example, we can turn of the lights when we leave a room, walk, ride a bike or catch the bus to school or work instead of driving, turn appliances off at the wall, buy a solar panel or rainwater tank. There is a whole range of environmentily friendly products suited for everyones budget.

What is Climate Change?;
Climate change is an alteration of environmental conditions ultimately resulting in a detriment to the ozone (primarily), along with the flora and fauna of the earth.
What Causes Climate Change?
Simply, an accumulation of carbon emissions produced by human activity resulting in a deteriation of the ozone layer which protects the earth from the full extent of the light from the sun.
What Can we do to Solve Climate Change?
To solve; Reduce living standards of the entire developed world. However mitigating measures such as day to day reductions can be made by conscious decisions to reduce carbon emissions.
Do you have a question about climate change?
nope

Why doesn't the govt make everyone have solar power so we came get free hot water for a start!!!
I think schools should start making changes to use less paper electricity and gas to see if we can start to make everyone more aware of the needs to understand using less.
Hsve a fantastic trip make wure you learn losts and come back and teach us all lots about climate change.
What is climate change?
Climate change is the effects the earth is facing from what we have done to the earth. Climate change is where the earth is getting hotter and summer is longer. It is also when we are getting bigger storms and stronger winds that effect the landscape of our earth. The air we breath is affected from the pollution. Climate change is a world problem that affects us all no matter where we live. Changes in climate patterns mean that extreme weather events such as heat waves, floods, droughts and bushfires will become more frequent, more widespread or more intense.
WHAT CAUSES CLIMATE CHANGE?
I think that climate change is the result of changes in our weather patterns because of an increase in the Earth's temperature, the land temperature is increasing. This is caused by increases in greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere. This is from us using products that harm the air and the land we live on such as spray cans, driving cars to much etc. These gases soak up heat from the sun but instead of the heat leaving the earth's atmosphere, some of it is trapped, making the Earth warmer. We also are doing silly things where we cut to many trees down and burn fuels that kill the air.
WHAT CAN WE DO TO SOLVE CLIMATE CHANGE?
I think that we all need to think about what we are doing to the earth. We need to drive less and have less waste products. We use to many chemical in our homes and work places that cause the earth stress. People need to walk more or ride bikes more. People need to recycle things and only use what we need. We need to look after the earth and plant more trees and stop cutting down so many. We need to stop large factories from burning bad chemical that go into the air.

I think more awareness needs to be promoted, because a lot of people in the world refuse to acknowledge that climate change is even happening.
Or, even if they do acknowledge that global temperatures are rising, there are still people who don't think humans are to blame. And there is always a chance that they are right.
But even if there's say, only a fifty (or even just a forty or thirty) percent chance that global warming is caused by humans, shouldn't we be doing something about it anyway?
Is it a chance we really want to take?

Climate change is the effect of what we are doing on earth. This includes burning of rubbish and petrol.
Climate change is caused by the greenhouse gas effect.
We can help climate change by not using our cars so much, use renewable energy sources and only use what we need. Also we should recycle more of our waste so less rubbish is put into landfill.
Why aren't you doing anything major?
1. I think climate change is potentially irreversible long term climate patterns that differ from those that currently frequent the earth.
2. I feel that the causes are numerous and complex with both natural and man-made contributions.
3.Some of the causes of climate change are out of our hands. Our job is to work on the areas we can control like carbon emissions.
4.I have no questions
1. What is Climate Change? Changes in the earths weather ie Summers are getting hotter, more storms.
2. What causes climate change? Global warming and green house gases.
3. What can we do to solve climate change? use less electricity, walk to school more often,find different resources to power cars.
4. Do you have a question about Climate change? How can i help to stop climate change?
