Climate change

It can be stated that climate change is one of the worlds biggest threat to the human race, this is because it has the ability to destroy the world as we know it. The most common topic when looking at climate change is the fact that the icebergs in the north and south pole will eventually melt and cover the world with sea water. although it seems as if there is no stopping this from happening, there is in fact many different ways people can contribute to the  prevention of climate change.

"The Earth's climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat, with the abrupt end of the last ice age about 7,000 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era — and of human civilization. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives."(Nasa, climate change,2013) This suggests that the climate is continuously changing, which means that as humans we will have to adapt our lifestyles according to these major changes.

This is a diagram that illustrates climate change effectively and shows what parts of our world are in danger, as evidence on this diagram, the number of the things in danger is very high. on the other hand, some of the ways people contribute to the prevention of climate change is to ride a bicycle rather than driving because driving increases pollution. Recycling is also a popular way of tackling climate change, so that we are not using all of our natural resources.
Climate change has a clear connection to my FMP, because as the sea levels are increasing, this means there is more chance of floods and it is time for architects to start designing buildings with climate change in mind.
