Your Effect on the Climate 1 of 5 © Boardworks Ltd 2011 Contents Flash activity (these activities are not editable) Teacher’s notes included in the Notes page 2 of 5 Web addresses Accompanying worksheet © Boardworks Ltd 2011 What is climate change? Climate change is a natural phenomenon and normally takes place over several centuries. However, the term “climate change” is now being used to refer to the current climate. This is because recent evidence shows that the global climate seems to be changing more rapidly than usual, as a result of human behaviour. Air travel and other forms of transportation emit high levels of the greenhouse gases which can cause climate change, including carbon dioxide (CO2). What impact will climate change have on tourism? 3 of 5 © Boardworks Ltd 2011 Your carbon footprint 4 of 5 © Boardworks Ltd 2011 Sustainable travel The government believes that by 2020, air travel could be responsible for 10% of the UK’s total CO2 emissions. Many people are now looking for more sustainable methods of travel, including: rail bicycle coach boat. What advice would you give to tourists looking to reduce their impact on the climate? 5 of 5 © Boardworks Ltd 2011
