The Impact of Climate Change in Aotearoa.

 The Impact of Climate Change in Aotearoa.

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

I will be explaining About climate change in Aotearoa and how it affects our environment. What is climate change? Climate change is when weather can change a lot. For example, it’s winter but it’s hot everyday, that is called climate change. Climate change is already affecting NZ. Changes include alteration to temperature, sea level rise,ocean acidity wind and sunshine. 

I will be explaining how water impacts, gas impacts and flood impacts.

 

Firstly, Climate change is already affecting NZ. Changes include alteration to temperature, sea level rise, ocean acidity wind and sunshine. For example, the weather has become too hot. During summer we were in a drought. I feel like we can try and slow down droughts and drink less water and drink more fizzy.

Secondly, another thing that is being done is that factories and cars cause gas and that affects our environment. Gas can come from erupted volcanoes, wildfires and factories. For example, the smoke can kill our food crops and that can affect our clouds. We can reduce the gas that kills our food crops and I think it’s important to help reduce gas.

Thirdly, flooding comes from storms and rain. They can flood houses and can flood streets. For example you're stuck in a house and it's flooded and the streets are flooded as well. Floods can damage houses and they can drown people. We can reduce the flood by making houses stronger and more protective.

In Conclusion, I think it's important that we reduce climate change because it can affect our environment and damage our food crops, damage houses and cause floods to our environment.
