 * Climate change is a global problem, and yet each one of us has the power to make a difference. Even small changes in our daily behaviour can help prevent greenhouse gas emissions without affecting our quality of life. In fact, they can help save us money. **

People talk a lot about the weather, which is not surprising when you consider the impact it has on our mood, on how we dress and on what we eat. 'Climate' however is not the same as the weather. It is the average pattern of weather for a particular region over a long period of time. The climate has and will always vary for natural reasons. Natural causes of this include fractional changes in solar radiation, volcanic eruptions that can shroud the Earth in dust which reflects the heat from the sun back into space, and natural fluctuations in the climate system itself. However, natural causes can explain only a small part of this warming. The overwhelming majority of scientists agree that it is due to rising concentrations of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere caused by human activities.

Understanding Climate Change
Energy from the sun warms the earth's surface and, as the temperature increases, heat is radiated back into the atmosphere as infra-red energy. Some of the energy is absorbed within the atmosphere by 'greenhouse gases'. The atmosphere acts in a similar way to the walls of a greenhouse, letting in the visible light and absorbing the outgoing infra-red energy, keeping it warm inside. This natural process is called the "greenhouse effect." Without it, the global average temperature on earth would be -18°C, whereas at the moment it is +15°C. However, human activities are adding greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, to the atmosphere, which are enhancing the natural greenhouse effect and making the world warmer. This man-made extra warming is called the "enhanced" greenhouse effect.

** The greenhouse effect is a of the greatest causes of the climate change **

Hola. Me llamo Sarah. Me gusta baloncesto. I think that global warming is a bad issue that needs to be addressed. Passmore consideraba, en el libro mencionado, que la crisis ambiental es un tremendo problema social, pero entendiendo por tal la ocurrencia de situaciones que obstaculizan el normal desarrollo y funcionamiento de la comunidad, al igual que los accidentes de tránsito, la violencia urbana, el aumento del alcoholismo, etc. Como en el caso de cualquier disfunción social, los problemas ambientales deberían solucionarse, según el pensador, reduciendo la incidencia o gravedad del factor perturbador, como la creciente contaminación o la acumulación peligrosa de residuos Es una postura reformista, que supone activar medidas económicas, políticas, administrativas, y científico-tecnológicas. Aprendí camio climático. Camio climático es mal. La tierra es calente. I liked learning about other people. I also liked how in this project we brought two very different schools to talk about subjects that effect everyone around world. Fue simpático. Hola! Me llamo Naomi! No me gusta el cambio climático. El [|clima] es un promedio, a una escala de tiempo dada, del [|tiempo atmosférico]. Los distintos tipos climáticos y su localización en la superficie terrestre obedecen a ciertos factores, siendo los principales, la [|latitud geográfica], la [|altitud] , la [|distancia al mar] , la orientación del [|relieve terrestre] con respecto a la [|insolación] ( [|vertientes] de [|solana] y [|umbría] ) y a la dirección de los [|vientos] (vertientes de [|Sotavento y barlovento] ) y por último, las [|corrientes marinas]. Estos factores y sus variaciones en el tiempo producen cambios en los principales elementos constituyentes del clima que también son cinco: [|temperatura atmosférica], [|presión atmosférica] , [|vientos] , [|humedad] y [|precipitaciones].

Hi, my name is Yael, I think that a climate change is responsibility of each one and we can choose between caring or not. unfortunately, is a big problem in the world but there are a lot of fundations (for example: Green Peace) that try to fight with climate change. In this project I learn a lot of different things about a climate change and is realy interesting and important understand this and what is happening in the planet where we live. I liked doing this project with people who live in other place because we learned how is the life there, and that It's more different than life here. Was great!
