Teaching Kids Climate Change
Many people make Climate Change and Global Warming a scary and difficult thing to understand, but it’s not. Scientists have warned that the world's climate has changed a lot, and has affected many living and non-living things. This everyone in all corners of the world can prove -seasons change, farmlands reacts, fruit trees become fruitless, many places that were warmer are now getting colder.
Many colder regions are getting much more colder or even warmer (know as Global Warming).
Climate change refers to general changes in climate patterns, including temperature, precipitation, winds, and other factors.
Global warming (as well as global cooling) refers specifically to any change in the global average surface temperature. Do not confuse the two.
It makes more sense to let the very younger generation understand that a decade or two ago, things were not just the same as at present. The truth needs be told that if proper and sustainable actions are not taken, the future we all work to achieve may be such a bleak one. That is why in December 1997, in Kyoto, Japan, Canada and 160 industrialized nations committed to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, as part of an international agreement on climate change called The Kyoto Protocol
We are investing time and resources to let kids understand how much climate change and global warming is affecting our immediate environment and the global village -air pollution, water pollution, land pollution, waste, deforestation, etc. these are all visible and no child can deny it.
Building A Sustainable Environment
In other to ensure greener environment, the youths willingly embarked on massive sanitation and tree-planting exercise as a measure to safe guarding the environment against the impact of climate change. Trees safe the environment and humans from direct heat by absorbing the ultra-violet ray from the sun; and gives oxygen, which is good for the body and the environment.
