environmental relationships:
Issues in a cold environment


Many people live in a cold environments including
Alaska,
Northern Canada,
Siberia,
Norway,
Finland
and Nepal.

The first lesson objective is to chose one of the above cold environments to become an expert on and be able to answer the question....

What is so special about this environment and why should it be protected?

step one: Research

1. Google information about the landscape for example does your environment have glaciers, landforms, icebergs? 

2. Google information about the wildlife for example does your environment have bears, wolves, moose, sea otters, bald eagles?

3. Google information about vegetation for example does your environment have tundra ot trees?
​
4. Google information about the people that live in the environment for example Inuit, Tlingits etc?

WHAT is GLOBAL WARMING?
THE PLANET IS HEATING UP AND FAST....

Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are dying, and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace. It's becoming clear that humans have caused most of the past century's warming by releasing heat-trapping gases as we power our modern lives. Called greenhouse gases, their levels are higher now than in the last 650,000 years.

We call the result global warming, but it is causing a set of changes to the Earth's climate, or long-term weather patterns, that varies from place to place. As the Earth spins each day, the new heat swirls with it, picking up moisture over the oceans, rising here, settling there. It's changing the rhythms of climate that all living things have come to rely upon.
​
What will we do to slow this warming? How will we cope with the changes we've already set into motion? While we struggle to figure it all out, the face of the Earth as we know it—coasts, forests, farms and snow-capped mountains--hangs in the balance
.

Essential question: why is your chosen cold environment special and should be protected?
