AN IMPORTANT TOPIC Watch Greta Thunberg give her “Our House is on Fire” speech at the World Economic Forum 2019.

Why is it important for young people to speak out on topics such as climate change? How might their perspectives be different from those of older people?

Thunberg house fire

Climate change is all over the news. Activists like Greta Thunberg organize protests and events to raise awareness about climate change. Scientists talk about global warming, greenhouse gases, and the ozone layers. Sometimes, all of the technical jargon can make climate change seem overwhelming and confusing. What is climate change? What causes it?

And why is climate change important to you?

You’ve probably already experienced some of the effects of climate change firsthand without even knowing it. Have you noticed that seasons feel different from year to year? Does your region get stronger storms and more extreme weather than it used to? Do you have to take steps to conserve water because of drought? Is there more flooding in your area than there used to be? Are some local animals and plants losing their habitats and migrating to new regions? All of these could be signs of Earth’s climate crisis.

CLIMATE VS. WEATHER Before we dive into all of the ways climate change affects you and your fellow humans, let’s first take a look at the difference between weather and climate.

Weather is what happens in the atmosphere every day.

Is it rainy or sunny outside? Is the temperature hot or cold? Weather can change minute to minute, hour to hour, and day by day. For example, it might be sunny in the morning and raining in the afternoon in your neighborhood. Weather also varies in different places in the world. On any given day, the weather in Florida is often different from the weather in Alaska.

Most weather occurs in the troposphere, which is the part of Earth’s atmosphere closest to Earth’s surface.

SCIENTIFIC METHOD The scientific method is the process scientists use to ask questions and find answers.

Keep a science journal to record your methods and observations during all the activities in this book. You can use a scientific method worksheet to keep your ideas and observations organized.

Question: What are we trying to find out?

What problem are we trying to solve?

Research: What is already known about this topic?

Hypothesis: What do we think the answer will be?

Equipment: What supplies are we using?

Climate, on the other hand, means the usual weather or weather pattern of an area. Climate can vary Method: What procedure are we following? from place to place. For example, Arizona’s climate Results: What happened and why? is typically hot and dry. Seattle’s climate tends to be cooler and wetter. Climate can also vary by season in the same place. Your town might CLIMATE CLUES be hot and humid in the summer months and cold and Scientists use satellites and snowy in the winter. surface instruments to monitor

Planet Earth also has a activities that affect climate. climate. Earth’s climate is the combination of all the climates around the world. If Earth’s global climate changes, regional climates also change. The weather changes, too. For example, as Earth’s climate warms, scientists predict more hot summer days in many regions and fewer frigid days.
