01. Interview: Our Answer: People are hopefull that in the future the climate will improve and the world will be safe, education about climate change and environmental conservation will be given to all people. There will be no difference if all people are educated about climate change.Climate change articles and reports are given a top priority in Tanzania as there is an avarage of one article about climate change every month that appears on Tanzania news papers.
02. Search the local newspapers of your country for articles about climate change.: Our Answer: The headline that caught my eye and impressed us is "Two-degree rise ever more likely, scientists warn" as it talks about new studies that show the continue rising of global temperature. An article we would like to give on climate change article would be "Do we need to close industries to fight climate change?"
03. The topic of climate change arouses a number of strong emotions in people.: Our Answer: A key issue in the debate on climate change is how muchwill it cost to reduce Greenhousegas emission levels. Many believe that the cost of delay is much higher than the cost of immediate action. We have to analyse dispassionately (NO EMOTIONS!) where the good niches to act exist and where the obstacles lie, both technically and personally . We need to study sustainable development approaches around the world that have succeeded and failed, and draw lessons about the way to proceed further.
