Climate Change

The effects of climate change can be felt globally. If you can see in the news, there is a massive chunk of iceberg that was swept away from the Antarctic shelf. Glaciologist Neal Young of Australian Antarctic Division said the iceberg, known as B-17-B was still largely intact and is currently 1700 kilometres south-south-west of the West Australian coast. It's history is quite amazing because almost 10 years ago it broke away from the Ross ice shelf in Antarctica. And for almost a decade it's journey can be seen heading to the "land down under".

Climate change can be observed by the changing weather patterns. Floods and typhoons can be felt across Asia and hurricanes in America. We need to protect our planet by acting now so that our children's children may have a better place to live in.
