- 12. From the previous phenomena it is clear that all the catastrophes come from climate change, because Greece΄s climate used to contain warm winters and hot summers. Something that it does not exists now as we have to face extreme phenomena in all seasons. But what are the origins of climate change? Of course the answer is Greenhouse effect, which has been created by our actions. Especially our actions that produce emissions of carbon just like the uncontrollable set of fires, usage of vehicles & firewood of bad quality in fireplaces, but also the emissions of factories.
- 14. More and more people because of climate change will be obliged to move from their regions Many of our beautiful islands will disappear because of the rise of the sea level The rise of temperature and the alteration in frequency of rainfall will allow to mosquitos to spread malaria. As a result more people will suffer even die from this disease Many people get so much disappointed for the current situation and the apathy of the strong people that suffer from a psychological disorder known as eco-anxiety
- 15. It is a well known the fact that Greece’s economy, in general, is in a disadvantageous position. Sadly, more problems are adding because of climate change. Specifically, researches have found…
- 17. Agricultural production: The climate of Greece will become drier, this does not mean that there will be no more agricultural production in the country –it just means that the quantities produced and the sort of crops that the ground can support will be affected. Tourism: According to the European research project PESETA, it is estimated that, in case of an average temperature increase of 2.5 degrees Celsius, as is approximately assumed in the context of this study, there will be a 1% reduction of overnight stays in the country, and a €825 million revenue loss for the tourist industry annually.
- 18. Monuments: “Every year, we have more cases... We give more money, unexpected money to protect the walls of the (ancient) cities that had no problems before, to protect the coastal area,” Vlazaki said (Secretary of the Ministry of Culture, Education and Religions, General) The coasts: According to an estimate (Sauter, 2013), there is a danger that rising sea levels may lead to the loss of 3.5% of the country's land. It is estimated that this may have a cost equivalent to 2% of the country's GDP.
- 19. ‘Summer until October’…a blessing or a curse? People in cities like Thessaloniki, Patra, Lamia and Larissa will feel more discomfort, with an extra 20 days of ‘heatwave’ conditions per year. Also Lamia, Volos, Thessaloniki and Athens will experience fewer rainy days globally but 10% more thunderstorms. This means more danger of floods and forest fires.
- 20. Renewable energies: The first way to prevent climate change is to move away from fossil fuels. What are the alternatives? Renewable energies like solar, wind, biomass and geothermal. Consume less, waste less, enjoy life more: Focusing on life’s simple pleasures — spending time in nature, being with loved ones, making a difference to others — provides more purpose, belonging and happiness than buying and consuming. Sharing, making, fixing, recycling, repurposing and composting are all good places to start. “We use too much, too much of it is toxic and we don’t share it very well. But that’s not the way things have to be. Together, we can build a society based on better not more, sharing not selfishness, community not division.” — The Story of Stuff Sustainable: Promoting public transportation, carpooling, but also electric and hydrogen mobility, can definitely help reduce CO2 emissions and thus fight global warming.
- 21. Talk about it. Climate change can lead to decision paralysis — it seems like such a difficult and complicated problem that often no one knows what to do about it or how they can make a difference, so they ignore it. We encourage you to talk more about climate change even if you don’t have all the answers. That’s where creativity and solutions come from. And that’s what will help our leaders and decision-makers realize that climate change is an important issue for current and future voters — and be compelled to do something about it. Speaking of … vote! Without elected officials in office who believe in climate change and are willing to take action to fight it, we’re not going to see improvement on the local, regional or national level. Use your voice. Vote for the people and the policies that will move the needle. And if you’re too young to vote, find out how you can help candidates in other ways, whether that’s stuffing envelopes or going door to door to talk to people about issues.
