Students Lead Charge to Power School with Renewable Energy | SolveClimate.com

While the planet's future climate is being determined by lawmakers in Congress and the United Nations Conference of the Parties this December, some students who are too young to vote are taking their future into their own hands.

Teens are aware that climate change and its associated challenges will define their generation's work, said CHS Green Club Co-President Chris Becker. For many of them, the inspiration to take action doesn't come from fear as much as from the opportunity to create "cool" solutions.

"I think young people definitely understand this is a huge issue, probably bigger than anything any generation has ever faced before," Becker said.

Young people today will live out their lives in a world where either climate change and related challenges have made survival progressively harder, or where people have risen up to creatively confront these challenges head-on.

Global warming may impede eelgrass growth - Environment - MiamiHerald.com

Thom's study suggests that yearly eelgrass growth changes according to variations in climate. For example, during warmer, wetter years, eelgrass plants in shallow water grow faster. But when temperatures in the Northwest are cooler, Thom's data has shown less growth.

Cold, Wet Summer Doesn't Disprove Climate Change, Scientist Says

"The third has to do with human activity," Mayewski says. "There, as I mentioned earlier, is little doubt that climate has been warming over the last few decades. It has been demonstrated in many different ways that a large amount of this warming is a consequence of human activity. And as we go farther and farther into the 21st century, the natural controls on climate will begin to be dampened or shadowed by the warming effects of rise in greenhouse gasses."

"We just need a little bit more patience," he says. "You have to look back at the last 100 years, and particularly since 1980, to really see what the trend has been. I think it would be a terrible disaster if people took one cool summer and turned around and said 'aw, this whole issue of global warming is unimportant and we don't need to worry about it.' That's absolutely not the case."

Mayewski says human emissions will influence future weather stability and temperatures. He says it often takes something severe, such as a summer of rain, to make people aware of their pollution habits.
