Global Climate Change

Hi guys! 

I was reading about Global Climate Change on epa.gov.
There is a lot of interesting information about what could happen in the future, what has already been happening, impacts and also looking at the solutions.  On the website it said, "The Earth's climate is getting warmer, and the signs are everywhere. Rain patterns are changing, sea level is rising, and snow and ice are melting sooner in the spring. As global temperatures continue to rise, we'll see more changes in our climate and our environment."  I thought this was really interesting and also went along with climate change lab and the information that we gathered from the surveys. 

Additionally it mentioned that "The negative impacts of global climate change will be less severe overall if people reduce the amount of greenhouse gases we're putting into the atmosphere and worse if we continue producing these gases at current or faster rates." So then I went into the solutions section on the website and it said to do things like reducing waste and water use, using clean energy and also using less energy and also to tell people you know about what you have learned!  This website was good at putting things really simply and spelling it out in a logical way.

Here is the link if you want to look at it!
