03. The topic of climate change arouses a number of strong emotions in people.
a) Write down your emotional feelings for the words “anger, responsibility, hope and indifference” in connection with the topic of climate change.
b) Which kind of emotion do you feel most strongly in connection with the topic of climate change? (This does not have to be one of the four mentioned above). Explain the reasons why.
a)
I feel angry with myself sometimes, when I think about how careless I am from time to time. Like when I always take the bus to school, or always leave my computer on stand-by and things like that, which affects the climate.
I feel responsible for climate change, if I fly somewhere by plane. And at the same time I think I’m irresponsable, because I’m not the only one acting like that.
I hope, that some day the people in our only world will open their eyes and everyone will try to make a change.
Sometimes I am or act indifferent to climate change. But when I learn in school about global warming and really start to think about it, it scares me and I want to change more and more.
b)
Mostly I get angry with the people who don’t care at all. But I also get very scared when I hear what can happen to the world. Especially when I see a touching movie like „The Inconvenient Truth.“ I also get sad.
