We have managed to get an article from Tanzania Daily News paper of Tuesday May 19, 2009. The is article titled "Two-degree rise ever more likely,scientists warn". It talks about the increase emission of CO2 into the atmosphere by human activities where scientists are calling for phasing out of fossill fuels because humans are pumping so much carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere that the 2-degree C climate baloon willl burst, new studies are showing that.

 

The direct problems that have been mentioned in the article include water shortages, food shortages and coastal floodings that will affect billions of people worlwide.

 

The article proposed on massive investment in adaptation strategies such as improving water supply and storage as well as protecting low-lying settlements from rising seas as solutions for mitigating impacts of climate change.

 

Climate change articles and reports are given a top priority in Tanzania as there is an avarage of one article about climate change every month that appears on Tanzania news papers.

 

The headline that caught my eye and impressed us is "Two-degree rise ever more likely, scientists warn" as it talks about new studies that show the continue rising of global temperature.

 

An article we would like to give on climate change article would be "Do we need to close industries to fight climate change?"
