Ice caps melt, lakes dry up, crops stop growing, the temperature change alters the lives of all animals and humans

To prevent irreversible damage to our environment. To save our animals and natural resources. To keep the human race alive

A very high percentage of greenhouse gas is due to human activity

Less snow, less fresh water, ice rinks melting early, higher energy bill to keep places cold

The climate system is always changing, making the future difficult to predict. If humans keep relying on non-renewable energy and polluting our environment than our future is easy to predict, but the possibility of changing our culture makes the future unpredictable

a) Climate change in Europe could lead to issues growing local staple crops as well as native plants and animals to the region

b) The change in climate may hinder the ability to grow rice or other important foods to sustain such large populations

c) The increase in sea temperature may hurt coral reefs or local sea life

d) If climate change brings water to lands not suited to receive it, many villages could experience flooding

e) Climate change could make water intensive crops grow poorly if rain patterns lessen

f) Climate change will hopefully incentivize the use of solar energy if there are hotter summers and winters

g) Climate change will melt the ice caps

a) Climate change in Europe could lead to issues growing local staple crops as well as native plants and animals to the region

The need for more energy to keep buildings cool will increase the cost of living in the area

a) The future predictions of rain patterns and temperature changes of climates and sea water

b) Carbon emissions, population increase, energy usage, water demand

a) The future predictions of rain patterns and temperature changes of climates and sea water

We can really partially on fossil fuels, but as renewable energy research leads to cheaper and more efficient energy sources, the reduced environmental impact is priceless

a) drive a car, eat beef from cows that emit gas, heat my apartment

b) Walk to class or ride a bike, Eat chicken or vegetables only, Turn the heat down in the winter, lower the air conditioning in the summer

c) I already follow the heating energy use, and take a bus to classes to reduce my footprint, but I could eat beef less often than i already do to further reduce it

a) drive a car, eat beef from cows that emit gas, heat my apartment

Coastal areas will experience flooding such as Miami. This flooding will destroy infrastructure and force citizens to evacuate

a) the economy would fall as it relied on its oil trade

b) Ships, trains, and planes that relied on the consumption would not be able to complete large distance transits to trade goods between continents

c) Distribution like transportation would not occur over long distances as frequently as it would need to to remain profitable

d) Tourism would also occur less frequently as costs of travel would skyrocket leaving only the rich able to afford tickets

a) the economy would fall as it relied on its oil trade

People and animals live in the Arctic, while few people and animals live in the Antarctic

Positives: Shift towards renewable energy and sustainable industry processes

Negatives: Prices rise for common goods, energy costs more within your household

Positives: Shift towards renewable energy and sustainable industry processes

Climate change will lower the time I have to shower in the morning, raise the price of eggs, heating, and the gas I use in my car to drive to work

Use electric buses, turn the heat down in the winter, find more sustainable food recycling sources and options. It is important to take these options to reduce the school’s environmental footprint and save money and energy in the process.

Reducing emissions is the first priority because it involves simple lifestyle and process changes. Incentivizing renewable energy would reduce the amount of natural gas and fossil fuels needed. Incentivizing sustainable water practices would ensure more people have access to clean water and less water pollution would occur

This statement is false because some economies rely on access to those plants and animals and if they are affected, the associated economies will be too

a) How comfortable are you talking about climate change?

How often do your friends and family talk about climate change?

How often does your school talk about climate change?

How sustainable does your community live?

How likely is it that humans cause climate change?

b) Students from different grade levels in different classes will be surveyed

d) Trends are that the older the students are, the more aware they are, and students in science classes and from families that have parents in STEM fields know the most about climate change

a) How comfortable are you talking about climate change?

How often do your friends and family talk about climate change?

How often does your school talk about climate change?

How sustainable does your community live?

How likely is it that humans cause climate change?

a) My college community has recycling bins in every apartment and dorm room as well as the ability to join a composting club.

b) A very small proportion is diverted through recycling and composting, nearly 5% perhaps

c) by reducing garbage in landfills, less methane (greenhouse gas) is produced by the decomposing garbage

a) My college community has recycling bins in every apartment and dorm room as well as the ability to join a composting club.

While I have no relatives working in the transportation sector, many incentives are being created to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases from vehicles. These include extra expenses on fuels and lower costs and tax credits for using electric vehicles

The majority of people are shocked and frightened at the possible consequences. My emotions lead me to be very passionate about preventing climate change and have shaped my career goals and ethical considerations when finding jobs

As a chemical engineering student I have been made aware of all of the consequences of climate change and nothing surprises me

a) raising gas prices to reduce human use of vehicles that rely on gas.

Give tax cuts or credits to industries that produce less pollutants.

Give tax cuts or credits to buildings that meet sustainability standards

b) They assess by the amount of money given out in tax credits and by the sales of gasoline

c) The most successful is giving credits to industries since they produce lots of pollutants and would likely cooperate if the incentives lower their operation costs. The least successful is likely to be the raising of gas prices since most people will purchase it anyway and just complain that it costs too much

a) raising gas prices to reduce human use of vehicles that rely on gas.

Give tax cuts or credits to industries that produce less pollutants.

Give tax cuts or credits to buildings that meet sustainability standards

Build on bedrock which won’t expand or build on wood pilings. These wood pilings are blocks of wood that can be adjusted to compensate for the changes in height caused by thawing permafrost
