What's going on?

The whole Earth is warming up because of all the contamination we produce by factories, cars, machines that produce CO2 that goes directly to the atmosphere. This is the principal cause of the greenhouse effect ; the atmosphere is  a thick layer that lets the rays of the son and warmth come in but not come out. The warmth of the sun is melting the polar ice caps and will raise the ocean levels, which will flood low level land. There will be less land to us to live on. Diseases will spread especially malaria and TB due to the increase in mosquitoes.

The weather will become more violent and unpredictable.  Deserts are increasing and the Great Plains of America will get drier. Rain will be heavier in other parts of the world and there will be more floods.

It is not fair because heavy industry is causing the most pollution but they will not change as they want to sell more products. This affects everybody else’s lives.

 

The Kyoto Conference was a meeting to try and decide what to do about climate change. The biggest polluters, North America, China, Australia and Europe took part.
