      I’m struggling to understand the question.

      On the subject of climate change, I think, and most scientists think, that human activities are changing our climate faster than it has ever changed before. If this continues the way we are, it will have a large effect on our ecosystems. Extreme weather will become more common, and conditions may change to make food production more difficult, as well as submerging of coastal areas as the sea level rises.

      Global warming has the potential to be very devastating to us. The outcome depends on what we decide to do about it and how much effort we put behind those decisions.

      That’s a 1000 billion years from now and the sun only has another 5 billion years left in it so I’m afraid the sun will have swallowed up the earth by that time!

      Just to be clear – global warming is happening- you can measure each year that the Earth is heating up. 97% of scientists agree that this is being caused in part by humans. It’s a big deal and it’s up to us to sort it out
