Climate Change.

Climate Change.

We are learning to explain how climate change affects our environment.

What is climate change? Climate change describes a change in the average conditions such as temperature and rainfall in a region over a long period of time. NASA scientists have observed Earth’s surface is warming, and many of the warmest years on record have happened in the past 20 years.Here are some photos from before and now.

Through the year it’s blazing hot mostly through summer.Sometimes the sun evaporates the water. So for example when we feel the fiery heat all the plants will be fundamental and so will the animals.As we know the sun can also start a drought which can cause water problems. This means that if the sea level gets too low our moana will start to die.

I think this is really sad because we won’t be able to catch fish,or go swimming.We won’t be able to gather kaimoana.And all we will see is plastic and our moana will be polluted.In New York they are having fiercer hurricanes because global warming is heating up.Way back in the days there wasn't as much carbon dioxide gas in the air. That carbon dioxide and temperature go together. When there is more carbon dioxide in the air, the average air temperature around the earth rises. This warm air warms our oceans. This causes more water to evaporate, which forms lots of warm, moist air. This is the kind of air that hurricanes need to start up, and they need a steady supply of it to keep them going. Our warmer ocean this year and last kept the hurricanes alive all the way up the coast to New York! We must slow down climate change. It's fueling hurricanes like Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Irene.climate change is not too scary for kids, but it is a problem. Climate change is happening now. We've started to see some changes on our planet. We understand if we don't slow down global warming, bigger changes could come. That would be scary. We don't want areas near the ocean to flood because we have friends and family living there. We don't want innocent animals to lose their habitats. However, we've learned we can help slow down global warming, and the changes it's causing, by putting less carbon dioxide in the air. That's why climate change isn't scary for kids. When kids understand cause and effect they know what to do. 


Firstly climate change is already affecting Aotearoa.Changes include alteration temperature and sea levels are lowering. One important way of doing this is to reduce our own greenhouse gas emissions. The science is clear: We need to get to zero net emissions as soon as possible to keep global warming well below 2°C. 


Sunshine:New Zealand has a largely temperate climate. While the far north has subtropical weather during summer, and inland alpine areas of the South Island can be as cold as – 10°C in winter, most of the country lies close to the coast, which means mild temperatures, moderate rainfall, and abundant sunshine.


Atmosphere:Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb heat radiating from Earth, warming the atmosphere. Monitoring greenhouse gas concentrations allows us to infer long-term impacts on ocean acidity, temperature, sea level, and glaciers. All energy sources have some impact on our environment. Fossil fuels—coal, oil, and natural gas—do substantially more harm than renewable energy sources by most measures, including air and water pollution, damage to public health, wildlife and habitat loss, water use, land use, and global warming emissions. 


Increased heat, drought and insect outbreaks, all linked to climate change, have increased wildfires. Declining water supplies, reduced l yields, health impacts in cities due to heat, and flooding and erosion in coastal areas are additional concerns. The water pollution can have a multitude of negative effects on our environment, some of which can lead to even more problems and climate change.


In conclusion, we can slow this down but can’t stop this climate change. So we could power up on plants. And use solar power on greenhouses. I think that we are affected by climate change.

Caged Chickens.

 WALT use structure and language for explain writing.


Title:Caged Chickens


Definition:

As we know chickens are the most common birds on earth.But there is a problem with chickens.Their is a threat So let's go see what's happening to them!


Body to explain the problem and solution. :

Cage chickens! caged chickens are one of the most highest food product that people eat all over the world. Just like other animals.You can eat them for  chicken. Or you can get their eggs.But caged chickens is when you are caged.You don’t get to see the world as a caged chicken.All you do is sit in a cage your whole life and lay eggs.Imagine what it feels like to not be able to move. Well that is what the caged chickens go through .

Also the packaging of eggs has a big impact on the world. As we know Plastic Pollution is one of the most worldwide killing problems on earth.


And when People package eggs packets to shops all over the world people purchase egg packets not only that all other plastic and cardboard materials.After their finished with all of packets and plastic bags they go to the rubbish dump and dump all of their plastic materials.Then that gets dumped out at sea where all of our sea animals live.So all that plastic spreads.The plastic takes the longest time to decompose so it can just stay out at sea for about a whole century. 


Conclusion:
Therefore I think that we should be looking for a clarification and reduce the impact that is happening on our environment.In the 1980s people around the world have been opposed to caged chickens and have been trying to use reusable bags instead of cardboard bags.Their is a group of children who is called be a champion for chickens.That are against caged chickens and tell people not to buy caged chickens eggs. So they can look for a better way to reduce the impact on our environment.
