It has been a blistering few weeks, hasn't it? Apparently, the El Nino is back and it's giving us a lot of headache.
For those of us wondering what this El Nino is all about, you can click on the following links to find out more
(Be warned. I WILL be asking what El Nino is when school reopens!)
Try not to while away precious time doing absolutely nothing. Click here to enter an interactive site to find out more about climate change. ( You get to revise your water cycle too! :P )

We may not be able to do much by ourselves but collectively, we can make a difference! :)
My Opinion
ReplyDeleteOne cause of global warming
Deforestation.
The effects of deforestation can be categorised in three ways. They are: environmental effects, local social effects, and global social effects. The process of deforestation in various geographical regions is destroying this unique environment. Consequently, many animals and plants that live in the rainforests face the spectre of extinction. The extinction of the plants and animals leads to diminished gene pool. The lack of biodiversity and a reduced planetary gene pool could have many unforeseen ramifications, some of which could be fatal to the future of humanity. The process of deforestation had numerous social effects for the population of Brazil and the world. The indigenous people that lived in the rainforest were the hardest hit, so naturally when examining the social effects of deforestation, much of the analysis will focus on the indigenous population. It is equally important to note that besides the indigenous population, there were also riverine agriculturalists and backwoods agriculturalists, hunters that lived in the rainforests.
One way we can help solve this problem
We can use less electricity so less extraction and combustion will have to take place, thus lowering the carbon emission as more carbon contributes to global warming.
My Opinion
ReplyDeleteOne reason for global warning :
Too much carbon dioxide emission.
We can use less electricity so that we will not burn so much fossil fuels to emit more carbon dioxide
MY OPINION
ReplyDeleteReasons for global warming:
1)Air pollution-Factories releases carbon dioxide in the air and pollute the air.
2)Water pollution-Human throw unwanted garbage into the drains and water carries it to the sea in the end.
3)Too much garbage-Garbage has to be burnt and that also gives off carbon dioxide.
How to save the planet from global warming
Just practise the 3Rs! Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!
This one and just now that one when they say Lee said it is actually me, Lee Xin Yi.
ReplyDeleteMy opinion
ReplyDeletePollution(land/water/air)
Animals mistaken food(e.g. plastic)
Ice cap melting due to temperature increase
Carbon monoxide from vehicles and factories causes acid rain
The Earth balance was upset.
The Earth was sick.
More disasters struke other contries.
Will we be next?
If you do not wish to make this happen on us just simply follow these steps:
#Plant more trees
#Reduce the use of plastic bags
#Do not use diposable chopsticks
#Cut down the use of motor vehicles to prevent gas emission
#Use metal containers instead of polystyrene containers to carry food
P.s.Maybe I can invent a vehicle that use pollution to generate energy! =_=
Hui Min's article very nice.
