To the Norwegian explorer,
Is the North Pole now the same as it was when you were the first to reach it unsupported? If not, is it ALL because of climate change?
06 Jun 2019
For the UK Student Climate Network person
What inspired you to join/ make this club?
When did you first get the idea?
For the Norwegian Explorer
Looking back now do you feel upset knowing all of the animals you saw there might be on a disloged iceberg that is slowly melting away beneath their feet as they moan in fear?
Why did you want to go to the north pole?
Did you take any photos so you might be able to do a before and after picture?
How long did you spend in the North Pole?
This is for the climate change scientist
Why did you choose to be a climate change scientist over another scientific career?
In 20 years time if continue like this how many countries will still be above water level?

Great curiosity!

How can the government help climate change?

I would like to ask a representative from the Committee on Climate Change ,
Is everyone turning vegan a situation we will all have to face?
A question for a Climate Change scientist,
Although we hope climate change will end can you estimate the time of the all the water reaching England and the speed and also the last country it would reach?

For the Norwegian Explorer,
How do you feel about the melting ice caps and what do you think YOU can do about it.
To the Climate Network UK rep,
What do you think you and the organisation can do to help improve this crisis
To the Climate Scientist
What have you discovered anything in the past 5 years on how to beat this emergency and how have you found this information
To the rep from the committee
What do you think you have done and what your committee have done to reduce the amount of co2 and Methane Gas in the environment.

why is this happening to very young people only you and the government can change this outcome. Parents will you make your children happy?. So don't encourage your children in this protest. Would you have your say to stop this protest?
Hey magical crab,
I noticed that our questions were really similar especially the one about the dislodged iceberg and the pole bear whimpering.

To the climate change professor:
If the government know about climate change why aren't they doing very much or at least listening to the public? and what more do we have to do individually to at lest make a small change.

i have a few questions first of all , is the north pole still the same ,my second question is for bnc employees are you working on climate change and for my final question how has climate change changed if so how much has it changed.

How does the smoke affect the ozone layer?
what got you into climate change and why?
10 Jun 2019
why aren't goverments holding debates or listening to public why have they not said anything about it
10 Jun 2019
Norwegian explorer,
What can I do to make a difference? I want to help but I don't know how.
10 Jun 2019
To the Climate Change Professor,
Why did you decide not to be one of the crowd and try to stop pollution?
Surely you do something to pollute the world at home?
Do you like your job?
Do you like being a Climate Change Professor/SUPERHERO?!
What is it like to save the world but no-one listens to you?
Do you ever encourage children to be like you?

Norwegian explorer, /
what could I do to make a differance in climate change?
10 Jun 2019
To the climate change scientist,
If the government knows about it then why aren't acting to save our planet? What would happen if we don't react fast? Will we be able to stop it?
10 Jun 2019
To climate change scientist:
What could we do as normal people in a situation like climate change and how can we help?
10 Jun 2019
To the climate change professor:
We all need to help if you say no we could still trie it will be hard lets trie
11 Jun 2019
To the Norwegian explorer
How does it feel to watch animals die of hunger ?
Did it make you cry ?
Did you watch the pola bears try and stay on the ice whilst it was mellting ?
Thankyou for reading my questions
11 Jun 2019
To the Norwegian explorer
Was it upsetting seeing the ice melting and pola bears nearly dying of starvation?
Also is it amazing to see how different animals live in the north pole /were you sad aswell ?
13 Jun 2019
To Norwegian explorer
How are the polar bears already doing, what i mean, are they in critical danger?
To the Climate Change Scientist
Will the climate change effect things we do in our normal life?
How warm or cold will it be getting if our world experiences extreme climate change?
13 Jun 2019
If Climate Change is such a problem, then why isn't stuff being done about it?
13 Jun 2019
For the climate change scientist:
-By how much do we have to reduce our carbon emissions to help stop global warming, do we have to stop them entirely or just by a percentage?
-If we were all to make one change in the way we live our lives to help stop climate change, what do you think that should be?
-If we don't change and carry on polluting and cutting down trees at our current rate, how will it affect our planet, ourselves and other animals?
For the Norwegian explorer:
-how have the polar ice caps changed through your lifetime and what are your feelings on it?
-how important do you think it is that we stop climate change to preserve natural places like the North pole?
For the representative from UK Student Climate network:
-Why do you think the climate change movement and strikes have attracted the youth so much?
-What do you think the significance of the youth voicing their opinions and becoming so involved in climate change is?
-What have the school strikes achieved so far and what are you hopeful they will achieve in the future?
For the representative from The Committee on Climate Change:
-How much are governments actually doing to help combat climate change?
-What do governments need to do differently and why aren't they doing so?
-How expensive is ' building a low-carbon economy'?
For all of them:
-Why does you/your organisation feel so passionately about climate change?
13 Jun 2019
To the climate change scientist:
Have the explores been listening to you scientists?
Approximately when will our Earth not be suitable for us?
What are scientists doing to help?
Would we be able to move to a different planet if the Earth is too hot?
Will we die and how will we die? What exactly will happen to our body if climate change doesn't have a stop?
How many countries will flood?
How many countries will get droughts?
Why did you want to be a climate change scientists?
For the explorer:
What made you want to go to the North Pole?
What were the conditions of the species at the North Pole?
Did it seem as if the ice caps were melting rapidly or slowly?
Did you think of anything that we could do about this particular situation?
14 Jun 2019
How can you tell if a specific area is affected by climate change when your exploring?
17 Jun 2019
Why are the government not doing anything?
23 Jun 2019
To the climate scientist:
Question 1 - Recently I have seen a scary report that scientists are said to be shocked by ice melting faster than they had thought from Greenland and the Himalayas along with the alarming news that the Arctic permafrost is thawing faster, 70 years sooner than predicted.
Does this mean we actually have a lot less than the 12 years we thought we had (already closer to the end of one year) to avert a climate catastrophe?
Question 2 - Looking at the way things are, I fear our government is not committed to taking serious action on Climate Change (priority is on Brexit, and the plans for Heathrow runway and HS2 is still going ahead!). In your honest opinions, is it actually too late to prevent global warming from hitting that critical level?
For the representative from The Committee on Climate Change:
What are the major plans that you have put forward to drastically tackle the climate emergency?
What plans have the government agreed to so far?
29 Jun 2019
What will be the additional affects of climate if we don't do anything about it?
02 Jul 2019
To Norwegian explorer.
If you were to go to Norway would you find as much ice as before?
03 Jul 2019
To the climate change scientist,
How dramatically would the world change in 100 years if we don't do something about climate change? And how do people help to stop it and what are you doing to stop it?
