Climate change
This topic deals with its causes, symptoms and consequences for nature and people
Introduction to the topic
Look at the pictures below and afterwards answer the questions:
- Are the situations in the photographs familiar to you?
- Have you flown in a plane in the last two years?
- Has the development of cheap short haul airlines affected your flying habits?
- Have you been in an area affected by floods in the last three years?
- Have storms been more frequent and heavy in your area in the last few years?
- Have you been caught in a traffic jam in the last one and a half years?
- Do you travel most of your daily journeys by car?
If you have answered yes to any of these questions, then you personally are connected to climate change. Be it in the form of greenhouse gas emissions that are released by transport or by secondary damage from severe storms, which are increasing due to global warming.
