SO, WHAT IS GLOBAL WARMING? None like it Hot Futurama / An Inconvenient Truth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIrzMM UmgqU
IVE HEARD THIS A MILLION TIMES. WHY SHOULD I CARE? According to a National Geographic article by Brian Clark Howard (published - 31. 3. 2014): The world is not ready for the impacts of climate change, including more extreme weather and the likelihood that populated parts of the planet could be rendered uninhabitable, says the planet's leading body of climate scientists in a major new UN report.
...AND IF THAT WASNT BAD ENOUGH... The 772 scientists who wrote and edited the report argue that world leaders have only a few years left to reduce carbon emissions enough to avoid catastrophic warming, which would produce significant sea level rise and large-scale shifts in temperatures that would dramatically disrupt human life and natural ecosystems.

ALTHOUGH SOME PEOPLE HAVE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT OPINION...
NOW ITS TIME TO THINK... Get into groups of 3 or 4. Together try to come up with environmental demands / suggestions for your government or governments worldwide. What must they do to slow down / stop the damage we re causing? Choose one person in the group to report back to the class (I suggest you choose the person who contributed the least to the discussion )
