What is climate change? Climate change is when the Earth is getting warmer and warmer. The ice is melting so the sea level is sort of rising. Its not good. Some scitentists think that humans are causing it. Others think that it would have happened without humans.
If all businesses in Ontario
used energy-efficient lighting,
we could close down FOUR
of our huge coal-burning
energy plants!!

According to new evidence collected by Pen Harlow and his team, The Arctic will be largely ice-free during the summer within a decade.
What are greenhouse gasses?
Greenhouse gasses are all the gasses and pollution caused from factories and pretty much any electricity used. Adding Greenhouse Gasses is like adding more blankets. Of couse its going to get warmer.
If you look at some pictures of The Arctic, you can really easily see the difference.
The fist one is in 1979, and the second is in 2003. See the difference?
How can I help?
Here are some of the many simple ways you can reduce Carbon emmissions and Greenhouse Gas.
-If you live in Australia, you get your electricity from your burned coal. This gives off LOTS of Greenhouse gas. Other alternative ways to get electricity are to ask your parents if you can get a solar panel if you dont already have one. It may be expensive to get it installed, but your electricity bill go right down because Solar Power pretty much is free.
- If you often drive to places, like school, try riding a bike or walking. You can also get healthier and fitter. If you HAVE to drive, try carpooling with a friend so less cars are on the road releasing less fumes from the exhaust.
-Turn off aplliances when not in use.
-If you are cold, put on a jumper or lie under some blankets. Dont turn the heater on or up.
-Buy flourescent light globes instead of the normal ones. they are better because the dont use as much power and energy and they last longer.
-Plant trees, because trees absorb the carbon dioxide which is very good for the envionment.
-Try and buy recycled paper and other stuff. Instead of throwing out the wrapping paper from your birthday, use it to cover books. Use tins for storage in your bedroom or make a telephone by attaching a piece of string to the bottoms of each tin and talk to your friend. Try reusing boxes and other thing as storage or make thing out of it. You can use newspaper for keeping your pets warm at night or spraying vineger on it to clean the windows instead of all the chemicals from the windokids-vs-global-warmingw cleaners at the shop.
- Buy locally. Locally grown fruit and veg are better because you are supporting local farmers, aswell as reducing the amount of car or plane or truck fumes from the transport that bought you your Vegetables.
