PERIOD 5 Climate change is the change of the climate. Global warming is the theoretical warming of the Earth, supposedly caused by the greenhouse effect, which is the addition of "greenhouse gases" to the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases cause the solar radiation that enters the atmosphere to stay within the atmosphere, heating up the Earth by fractions of a degree a year. Dylan C Fowls and Andrew

Lydia, Sarah, Alicia Climate change is a long-term change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns, while global warming is the slow heating of the earth's average atmospheric temperature. The Greenhouse Effect is an atmospheric heating phenomenon that involves gases being trapped in the atmoshere, preventing heat and sunlight from escaping. These are all related to eachother because the Greenhouse Effect causes global warming, which in turn causes climate change. The Greenhouse Efffect causes global warming because it traps heat and sunlight in the atmosphere, not allowing it to escape, making the earth's temperature warmer. The global warming causes climate change because it makes the earth's temperature warm which makes the climate warmer. These terms all deal with temperature change and weather however, climate changes is overall change whether it is hot or cold while Greenhouse Effect and global warming all deal with heating and climate change involves the earth's climate while global warming and the Greenhouse effect just involve the atmosphere.

<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px; line-height: 115%;">Yes, because government officials have to deal with making the decisions that we had to make in the game. Also, on every decision, there were positive and negative public opinions, and none of the choices pleased everyone.

 * 1) What policies or actions did you take to address climate change?

Didn’t use things that are harmful to the environment, only things that would help out.

When there was a lot of carbon dioxide going into the air it was bad so we changed our ways.

Got impeached the first time and lost the election the second time.

Went up at first and started going down when got near the election.


 * 1) Do you think this challenge was realistic? Why or why not?

It could be, if all of these things were happening at the time. I guess when you are running for president then you have to deal with all of these things.

Sarah and Alicia <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">I tried to use more natural resources and things that seemed reasonable in price and will help the people. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 0.25in; text-indent: 0.25in;">Stayed around the 50% and occasionally fluctuated above or below 20%. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">I think it is because our own president had to make some decisions that effected pur economy and the environment. Some people didn’t agree with the decisions made and others were okay with it.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in;">I never was impeached, so I guess I won the election.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in;">My approval ratings mostly were 100% for the people and for all the nations they stayed around 70% to 90%. I think this was because I chose policies that the people liked and I did things that didn’t emit a lot of CO2 or use a lot of resources. I also supported other nations during the negotiations and did what they wanted me to like lower CO2 emissions.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in;">5. Do you think this challenge was realistic? Why or why not?

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in;">I think this challenge was realistic because it had similar situations that an actually president would deal with, and to get approval and win the election, you had to consider things that a president would deal with like money, resources, and approval.
