We asked 10 people what they know about climate change: students from different classes, parents and teachers.

We wrote a summary of all the answers.

1. Question: What do you know about climate change?

The climate is becoming warmer.

The glaciers are melting.

More CO2 because of the cars and because a lot of people use too much electricity

There are floods and droughts.

Some kinds of animals and plants are threatened and are dying out.

There are more and stronger tornados and storms.

One person from secundary school we asked didn’t know what climate change is. She said: „ I think climate change is when the climate is hiking.“

We think that most people know something about climate change

2. Question: What are the concequences for our lovely Switzerland?

Most people know that it is always becoming warmer and because of that also the glaciers are melting. So Switzerland can be floated by this water, which isn’t ice anymore. But just one person knew that the mountains are in dangerous because of the missing ice. They won’t hold together anymore.

Some girls of our school who are older than us knew also that in a lot of years it will become very very cold, an iceage, and Switzerland will be covered by ice.

Switzerland will always have enough water, so it’s not so bad for Switzerland but for the other countries it will be very dangerous.

3. Question: What can we do against climate change?

We were surprised how much people knew what to do against climate change. For example always turn off the light, never leave machines on stand-by, don’t use the car (at least use a car which is eco-friendly). But we asked ourselves, if they also do, what they say.
