Discuss the two main topics: the role of climate change and the consequences of climate change. Each main topic has subtopic questions listed in the template that you must explain. You must also provide 1
image and caption per section subtopic.
●
Be sure to cite your sources and images properly. Sources should go back no further than year 2015.
Write the section description in your own words and check that the images match your discussion. Include at least 3 sentences for each section to ensure it is fully explained.
●
My Plan:
Develop a plan that addresses how society can address climate change.
Discuss the three main topics of: How can individuals reduce carbon dioxide emissions, what is meant by alternative energy, and what are some technological solutions to climate change. Each main topic has subtopic questions listed in the template that you must explain. Use your research as well as Module 4 as a guide to give you ideas on how to approach this topic. Be sure to include
YOUR OWN IDEAS on how to address climate change as a society.
Make sure your plan is in
