5th iNet International Conference, 26 28 November 2008

Monday 10 - Friday 14 March 2008

Climate change is always in the news, but how much do you know about it, and what do you think we should do about it?

• Read the discussions from the conference
• See the poll results from the conference

Why should we believe climate change is happening?

• Some people say climate change isn’t happening? Are they right?
• Should we believe what politicians say, or are scientists more important?
• What is the evidence for climate change? Do you think it’s having a direct effect on you yet?

Are there any issues that are more important than climate change?

• Climate change won’t affect us until the future; why should we deal with it now?
• How much do other problems in the world (eg war, poverty, endangered species) depend on climate change?
• Should governments concentrate on climate change at the expense of other global problems?

What are you doing to tackle climate change?

• Should some people (for instance, people from rich countries) do more than others to tackle climate change?
• Do adults care as much as young people about tackling climate change? If not, why not?
• Can we rely on new technology alone to stop climate change, or do we have to change the way we live?
• Will climate change be better or worse by the time you're an adult?
