Topic: SOLVING CLIMATE CHANGE
“Climate Change.” Two words that have become, somehow, a topic of heated discussion. “Are we changing the climate?” has become a question for debate! Human beings ARE adding more CO2, CH4, and N2O (Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide) to the atmosphere and these gasses DO help trap heat in our atmosphere, thus, changing the climate. If we as a society aren’t careful, we will do irreparable damage to our precious blue planet and as a Finalist in the 2017 Competition’s title stated “There is No Planet-B”.
