Climate Change Project
Climate change is the change in the atmosphere's weather patterns (moisture, temperature, etc.) due to a change in the earth's temperature. This is different from global warming because climate change happens to regions and global warming is obviously affecting the whole globe. Global warming is also only the planets heat rising not the change of moister and everything else.
We should care about climate change now even though its been happening for many years because back then it would happen slow enough for organisms to adapt. Today, because of global warming, the earth is warming a lot faster causing the climates to change quicker and more drastically. Since its happening so fast plants and animals are not able to change with it so they are dying off. Our project demonstrates my understanding of climate change through the creation of a bio dome that is different than most. We are going to be able to remove a designated part of plastic to make sure it has the exact same environment as Durango, then we will be able to close it off and change the variables that cause climate change. We will be able to see exactly how climate change will effect Durango in the long run so we can try to prevent it as a community. My biggest part of growth through this project was the improvement of my understanding of climate change. If you asked me exactly what climate change was before this unit I would tell you something like global warming. |
