GRADE 8 IMAGINATIVE ESSAY INVOLVING CHEMICAL REACTIONS
GRADE 9 ESSAY ON THE SCIENCE OF CLIMATE CHANGE
COP28 With countries constantly coming up with new solutions to address the climate crisis it is no doubt that global warming is a pressing issue. Although the temperature rise can happen naturally, since the industrial revolution, human activities have exponentially increased the rate of climate change. This essay will examine the science of climate change as well as some of the possibilities for mitigating and adapting to its consequences. It will also explore Germany ’ s goals to address climate change and the use of hydrogen power from electrolysis. The Earth's climate is undergoing rapid and concerning changes. The average global temperatures have surged by approximately 1.1 ° C above pre-industrial levels 1 (refer to figure 1), and the past few decades the Earth have witnessed an alarming increase in extreme weather events.

Both weather and climate are determined by the absorption of solar radiation and the resulting re-distribution of that energy through radiative, advective, and hydrological processes. 2 Solar radiation is also the reason by which the Earth can remain warm, this is known as the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is responsible for Earth's steady and hospitable average temperature. Without it, the temperature would plunge to -18 degrees Celsius and our planet would be uninhabitable.
