Let's Tackle Climate Change!
Hi, everyone!
Climate change is a big problem in the world.
氣候變遷是世界的大問題。
The earth is getting hotter and hotter.
It is affecting the lives of many plants and animals, as well as people too!
它會影響植物、動物還有人類！
One of the biggest reasons climate change is happening is people burning
fossil fuels to make electricity.
用石化燃料發電，是造成氣候變遷的原因之一。
This powers lights, computers and TVs.
Burning fossil fuels makes the earth hotter and it's making bad things happen.
The arctic, where polar bears live, is melting, and soon, it could be gone!
北極熊住的地方- 北極，正在融化，就快消失了！
The melting ice is making the sea rise higher.
融化的冰，讓海水上升。
If the sea keeps on going up, some countries might disappear! Even parts of
Taiwan could be underwater! 可能也會淹沒台灣部分地區。

I don't think so. But how can we stop it?
要怎麼讓這種情形不發生呢？
We can make sure to turn off lights, the computer and the TV when we are not
using them. We can use air conditioning less often. This will save
electricity.
不用的時候，把電燈、電視、電腦關掉，還要少開冷氣省電！
It's going to be difficult, but if we all work together, we can slow down
climate change and help save our Earth!
