Answers from Kantonsschule Hohe Promenade (2)

01. Interview

Asked by: Colegio Santa Rosa de Lima (Class 1) | Kantonsschule Hohe Promenade (2)

a) Ask ten people what they think about:

 

1.The climate change

2.The possible consequences for your country - and take note of the answers.

 

b) What do yout think about these answers?

First person:

 

1) The world and especially the communication medias are exaggerating!

2) I always turn the light off when I leave a room and I stopped using a car.

3) The glaciers will melt and climate refugees will come to Switzerland.

 

Second person:

 

1) Of course it is a serious topic! We already see the consequences!

2) It is very difficult to do something against it. I do not want to miss my car but if there exists more eco-friendly cars I’ll buy one!

3) The implications will be everywhere and I can not really think of a special one for Switzerland. The glaciers will melt and the whole world will be concerned.

 

Third person:

 

1) The worries and the trouble are justified! Things like climate are changing, people are concerned about it. The more modernisation the more energy is needed.

2) For my familiy, it is normal that we try to use as less electricity as possible; we do not have a car and we never use the plane for travelling.

3) Glaciers will melt and nature and diversity of species will change.

 

Fourth person:

 

1) I do not know – I can not judge about it! The period of time is too little.

2) I can not do anything – it is already too late! So I just enjoy my life.

3) The things that will come just come…

 

Fifth person:

 

1) It is very serious and I already see changes in my own lifetime!!

2) I do not have a car. I always go by train.

3) I live in Ireland and there I already see that it is for example extremely more wet than it usually is.

The global impact of the environment on human livelihoods is creating a new kind of casualty: environmental refugees. Rising sea levels, increasing desertification, weather-induced flooding, and more frequent natural disasters have become a major cause of population displacement in several parts of the world—a trend that is very likely to continue.

Comment to the first person:
Scientists Predict 50 Million Environment Refugees by 2010
Climate Change Displaces More People Than War
According to the International Red Cross, climate change disasters are now a bigger cause of population displacement than war and persecution.
