In Room One we have been learning about climate change.
I enjoyed finding lots of facts I didn't know.
Next time I would use more facts in each of my paragraphs to give my story more facts.
I found it hard to change the words on the computer to my own words.
Climate change
What is climate change and what is it doing to our earth? Climate change is the effect of the weather and temperature getting warmer. Global warming is the warming of our planet.
This year the Amazon Rainforest has had more fires than it has ever had before. They lit it on fire to clear some land for farming or ranching, but it got out of control. The smoke from the fires has covered more than half of Brazil over the years.
The Amazon Rainforest is home to millions of species of animals including the uakaris, brown throated sloth, bald uakari, South American tapir and the pteronura. The habitats of these animals is being destroyed.
Over the past 150 years, countries have been burning large amounts of fossil fuels such as oil and gas. The earth has warmed by an average of 1.c in the last century, and although that might not sound like much but it means big things for people and wildlife around the world.
Climate change is already affecting the wild life all over the world. But certain species are suffering more than others. Climate change isn’t just affecting the wildlife its affecting people too. Farming communities, especially in developing countries are facing the higher temperatures such as rain, floods and droughts.
