Our Answer: a) I think there is a lot of anger because of the climate change, there are a lot of people who are actually trying to do something against, but too many people just ignore everything and keep on living like they did before..but still we have hope, and i think everyone has this hope, because each one of us could do (even if it was a little thing) to help the world because of the climate change. some people feel indifference in front of this change, just because they don't "feel" it right now, but still we know that it will arrive us all. I personally feel hope very strong, because if everyone tries to help, it will get better, this i am sure of!
