The answers we gave

01. Interview
Our Answer: a) 1. Most of the people think that they're also guilty for the climate change. They think that in the last time the climate change has become important even if the problem exists for a longer time. They think that the climate change has become a serious problem. "Now we have to to something" They think that the nature catastrophes, the hotter weather and the melting glaciers are caused by the climate change. A big problem is, that we have too much cars. They also think that because of the climate change a lot of animals are going to be extinct. 2. Possible consequences are more catastrophes and the melting glaciers. Also is it possible that also in switzerland animals are going to be extinct. b) Nearly everyone is convinced that there is a problem with the climate change. But if everybody is convinced, why doesn't everybody fight against climate change?
02. Search the local newspapers of your country for articles about climate change.
Our Answer: a) - Domestic animals and plants are displaced by meditarian ones - a village in Swirterland is in danger because the glaciers above is melting very fast and so they could be floated by the lake of the glacier b) -In Switzerland some people tried to save the glaciers by covering them with foils, so the wouldn't melt again. - Lamborghini want to reduce the CO two-emissions of their cars. c) At the moment, the priority isn't so high... most, the articles about climate change are small. But some events like the one with the village are on the headline. d) The one with the village. It's very impressive how the people in this village work together against the melting snow. e) Climate Change - Can we stop it?
03. The topic of climate change arouses a number of strong emotions in people.
Our Answer: a) We're angry because no one realizes the dimension of the climate change and we think that everyone has a bit responsibility to take care to our environment. We hope that more people will join such organisations like myclimate. The indifference which most of the people have makes us angry and sad. We hope that that will change. b) In some way it makes us angry how the people show indifference but often we don't think about the climat change and sometimes we feel also helplessness because we think that we can't change the pollution.
