Question

How will climate change affect your daily life?

Answer 1

It makes me feels tired n sick all of the time.

Answer 2

I live in Newport, RI, elevation 3 feet. My ancestors settled on this land because it was cheap; I stay because it is beautiful. Some live near the ocean for survival. It provides food, jobs, sustenance.

When the water level rises, we will not all die. We will be refugees. We will take what we need from those further inland who don't think global warming will affect them.

After Katrina, communities all over the country took in refugees. Imagine if an entire coastline moves!

Answer 3

Answer 4

It wont,  people have been living with climate changes throughout history and they just got on with there lives as there was nothing they could do about it

Answer 5

Probably have to buy a fan???

Answer 6

Some days I will have to shovel snow and other days I will have to turn on the a/c.

But wait, that is the same as it has always been so not much will change I guess.

Answer 7

Very little if at all.  The use of climate change by liberal politicians as an excuse to strip me of my personal liberty and put the government (with them in charge of course) in complete control of every aspect of my life, however, may have a very serious effect on my life.

Answer 8

will have to set up better irrigation system and much bigger rainwater storage, noticing already the more rain in winter, less in summer here. have to start sleeping outdoors in summer, my caravan heats up like an oven.

have to get fit, nearest work place 4 miles and 300 feet downhill, wont be able to drive, have to cycle.

have to grow a lot more veg, food will be very expensive.

Answer 9

It won't,....I'll do what I've always done when things in this crazy World  when thingschange.....I'll adjust.!

Answer 10

Hopefully things here in Scotland will get warmer

Answer 11

Eventually I will have to move to a cooler climate. I can take being cold but not too much heat and definitely not the long, hot summers with the a/c bills. I try to not use the a/c but 5 days of over 100 is way too much for me.

Answer 12

Should be better

Answer 13

Our planet is surrounded by a blanket of gases which keeps the earth warm and makes it able to sustain life. This is getting thicker as increasing amounts of greenhouse gases are released by burning fossil fuels for energy and transport, trapping in heat. As a result, our climate is starting to change.

The scientific consensus is that there will be a gradual increase in global temperatures by between 1.4 and 5.8 degrees by the end of the century. This will have serious implications for ecosystems, growing seasons, animals and their habitats. There may also be more intense and frequent extreme weather events.
