ARTIFACT 1

WARNED

The sands of time have rendered fear

Blue skies on high no longer clear

Stars were bright whence they came

Now dimmed, obscured, pollution's haze

Crystal clear our waters gleamed

Fish abundant, rivers streamed

Ocean floors sandy white

Now littered, brown, pollution's plight

Trees towered high above

Trunks baring professed love

Birds chirping from sites unseen

Gone, paper joined pollution's team

One can't blame pollution alone

As they say, you reap what you've sown

So let us plant a better seed

Tear out old roots, cultivate, weed

Protect what has been given for free

Our waters, skies, wildlife and trees

For once they're gone, don't you say

Consider yourself warned of that fatal day

ARTIFACT 3

Climate is sometimes mistaken for weather. But climate is different from weather because it is
measured over a long period of time, whereas weather can change from day to day, or from year to
year. The climate of an area includes seasonal temperature and rainfall averages, and wind patterns.
Different places have different climates. A desert, for example, is referred to as an arid climate because
little water falls, as rain or snow, during the year. Other types of climate include tropical climates, which
are hot and humid, and temperate climates, which have warm summers and cooler winters.

Climate change is the long-term alteration of temperature and typical weather patterns in a place.
Climate change could refer to a particular location or the planet as a whole. Climate change may cause
weather patterns to be less predictable. These unexpected weather patterns can make it difficult to
maintain and grow crops in regions that rely on farming because expected temperature and rainfall
levels can no longer be relied on. Climate change has also been connected with other damaging weather
events such as more frequent and more intense hurricanes, floods, downpours, and winter storms.

In polar regions, the warming global temperatures associated with climate change have meant ice
sheets and glaciers are melting at an accelerated rate from season to season. This contributes to sea
levels rising in different regions of the planet. Together with expanding ocean waters due to rising
temperatures, the resulting rise in sea level has begun to damage coastlines as a result of increased
flooding and erosion.

The cause of current climate change is largely human activity, like burning fossil fuels, like natural gas,
oil, and coal. Burning these materials releases what are called greenhouse gases into Earth’s
atmosphere. There, these gases trap heat from the sun’s rays inside the atmosphere causing Earth’s
average temperature to rise. This rise in the planet's temperature is called global warming. The warming
of the planet impacts local and regional climates. Throughout Earth's history, climate has continually
changed. When occuring naturally, this is a slow process that has taken place over hundreds and
thousands of years. The human influenced climate change that is happening now is occuring at a much
faster rate.
