David:1:Climate change is a bomb waiting to explode.At the current rate of these weather changes then soon we may not tell the difference between night and day.
2:In my country we shall soon get to see the greatest human-animal conflict.most of the areas affected are forests which have been the source of water for the locals but now its a fight between man and beaste.I fear to think of the consequences.
Susan1change is the difference in weather patterns that creates alot of confusion in how we used to live.this has been brought about by so many factors that have brought about less trees therefore less rain and finally less water.Gases are being released into the air bringing pollution and destruction of the ozone layer.It is just very dangerous.
2:The consequences are already there with people and communities who rely on farming activites now starving.they cant have enough rain and the weather is all mixed up and confusing so the forcasts are not giving the right time to start farming.There is the risk of less food and finally we shall be begging for food reliefs which previously were available.
Junior:1:My understanding of climate change is when there is a great difference in climatic conditions.This has affected the weather conditions bringing changes to everything that was being done especially farming.
2:The effects have been bad especially in the Mau Forest area.Lack of adequate rain has made wildlife to migrate in thousands to neighbouring countries.This is a minus for my country because one of our sources of foreign money is tourism.Now with no animals for tourists to come and see I can forsee the danger of my country becoming poorer and poorer because of a drop in foreign currency.

I think Climate Change brings fear of the unknown because we all know it's happening but it's hard to know how rapidly changes are occuring. Because Climate Change is a gradual process, some people don't realise the consequences and effects it is having on the earth without a smack in the face like a natural disaster.
I think Climate Change brings opportunity to people all around the world. It is a chance for people to make conscious decisions to benefit the environment and to strengthen local, national and international communities because community should be the basis of climate change adaptation and mitigation.

Explaining Global Warming
-- What’s Ozone Got To Do With It?
When asked to describe global warming, many people respond that it is a
problem with a hole in the ozone layer.
They think that there is a causal link between the ozone hole and the planet warming up. Global warming and ozone depletion are two separate but related environmental threats.
Global warming and the greenhouse effect refer to the warming of the atmosphere
(mostly in the lower part, also known as the troposphere) due to increasing concentrations
of heat-trapping gases. By contrast, the ozone hole refers to the loss of ozone in a higher
part of the atmosphere, known as the stratosphere. Ozone loss is a serious concern
because stratospheric ozone blocks incoming ultraviolet radiation from the sun, some of
which is harmful to plants, animals and humans.
