Level - Intermediate and above    

This lesson is about climate change – and encourages students to think about their attitudes towards the environment. (Interesting fact you could use in the introduction, according to Friends of the Earth the UK has 1% of the world’s population, yet produces 2.3% of the world’s carbon dioxide) This lesson could be linked nicely with the lesson plan on weather.
