Definitively, we have percieved a dramatic change in the last 10 years, since global warming has revealed fauna and flora loss. Ten years ago, this was almowt invisible, even imposible to hear about, leave behind paying attention to the consequences. But, of course, climate change started many years before the 90's. Is just that, as young as we are, we have started to listen about it only recently.
Proof of climate change manifstations in our country can be numbered, even by some uniterested people:
a) Our snow mountains, like Pastoruri in Huaraz, have been affected, and you can see it. Almost every peruvian knows Pastoruri, and is visible that the ice has diminished. Today, there are even some parts where you see nothing but land.
b) Our sky. Some years ago our sky was cleaner. Ok, let's face it, Lima is not aknowledged as one of the most beautiful-sky-owning city. In fact, our sky tends mostly to be gary (because we have cloudy wheather). But now, it's nos only cloudier, but dirtier. You can sense it while you breath

Climate change affects us all, in many ways. In our country, we usually have normally cold autum and winter, but this year it's been strange. There are some very cold nights and kind of bright afternoons. That's what everybody feels these days. Some neighbours of our area don't think that it is affecting them, they seem to be oblivious to this items.
Of course we know what the consequences for our country are, but theoretically speaking. Let's say, the more practical feature is the temperature changes we have, and we know that in Andean areas glaciar melting, disasters because of it, are terrible and right now happening, but sometimes it feels like a distant fact, even thought is part of our country... It is something we try to deal with everyday, we try to get commited with the environment and our country problems.
