Climate impact

During the first part of the lesson I will talk a little about a 

subject. Many scientists say that due to climate change more and more wild weather events such as hurricanes, heatwaves and droughts are happening nowadays.

The 

of 2003 killed 45 thousand people in Europe alone. UK scientists said that this very hot weather was caused by climate change. In the future heatwaves will continue affecting not only people but plants, fish and wildlife as well. The change in our climate would also cause the area in dry areas to become drier and drier creating droughts. A study published by scientists in Colorado says that dry areas of Earth are twice as big as it was back in the 1970s.

As the 

of our seas and oceans keeps increasing each year, there is a greater possibility of strong storms or hurricanes. It has also been proven that climate change is raising ocean temperatures.​
