Reflective Summary

Over all, I have learnt many things on climate change. I have learnt what climate change is, the effects of climate change, what the greenhouse effect is about, what the government can do to reduce climate change and what we can do to reduce climate change.
Firstly, climate change is any long-term significant change in the expected patterns of average weather of a specific region over an appropriately significant period of time. The effects of climate change. Firstly, Sea level is rising and Ecosystems are changing. The greenhouse effect refers to the change in the steady state temperature of a planet by the presence of an atmosphere containing gas that absorbs and emits infrared radiation. The government has the energy efficiency campaign to raise the awareness of climate change every year. Also, the national target in the National Climate Change Strategy is to reduce carbon intensity to 25% below 1990 levels by 2012. We can do many things to reduce climate change such as using compact fluorescent light bulbs or we can walk or bike instead of driving a car which reduces the emission of fossil fuels into the atmosphere.
I have also learnt importance of reducing climate change. It is very vital for us to play our part in reducing the global problem we have. We can help by reducing, reusing, and recycling. We really have to do something or the future generation may not see things such as icebergs and polar bears.
My perspective has changed a lot as at first, I did not know that climate change was very serious but I do know now. Also, I thought at first that we could not do anything to stop climate change but after reading the five articles, I have learnt that we can play a big part in saving the earth.
In the end, I have learnt many things. Also, like I have mentioned before, it is very important for us to play our part in saving the world. We can help by destroying nature or other trees. In the future, we can plant trees so it will take in the carbon dioxide and give out oxygen.
