[|Climate Change Research.pdf] Climate change seems to be the most studied environmental topic. Not much is known on how to solve this issue, but with all the data and facts that researchers are coming up with it seems that in the future, there will be a solution for helping to fix climate change. There are a lot of contributing factors to climate change and most of them are other environmental issues. Climate change is the hardest to slow down because it is just how the earth reacts, but if you make good changes to the earth and not pollute it or kill off its natural resources, that can lead to slowing down climate change.

Artifacts: [|Climate Change Report] In this article the report is saying that it would be a good idea to raise $100 billion dollar a year by 2020 in order to help in many ways with climate change. The government is able to help with taxing different things. By raising that money it will somehow slow down climate change. Having that money saved up will help with finding out more about ways to slow climate change down. [|How Climate Change is Affecting Ethiopia] In the video it is shown that they are doing what they can to help get used to the climate change. It is also shown that they are planting trees to try and cancel out deforestation around them. The point in this is that they are trying to understand what is happening to the weather, but it is a lot harder on them since it is ruining farming. It is still good to see a country where they are trying together to help get things back to normal rather than hurting the environment. [|Increase Poverty and Vulnerability] Climate change is changing many different things in Ethiopia and it is hard for them to adapt to what is going on. The different weather patterns are making it harder to farm crops which can lead to poverty for some families who rely on those crops. This also increases vulnerability to the people living there. They are not sure of what to expect in many different ways and rely on help from other organizations.
