The troposphere is one part on the atmosphere. The atmosphere is what keeps our Earth separate from space. The troposphere is the part of the atmosphere that every person lives most of their life in (apart from astronauts) . This part of the atmosphere contains all the grass, the birds, the kites, and even the planes, it is 6-7 miles at its thinnest and 11-12 miles at thickest. The weather is actually in this layer of the atmosphere, which means that climate change happens here.
The weather is very different than is was when you were thirteen, for instance, it is much warmer. This is because of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere heating up the earth. This also happens in the troposphere! There are also more weather extremes, like hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, and floods.
The climate is the weather over a long period of time. The weather from year to year or day to day might not seem very different, but after a long time there is a significant change. This is global warming, and it is easier to see when you compare climates of one decade to another. Global warming is a serious issue that all humans must face and come up with a solution before we destroy our world.
To help our earth we must use less energy to power our houses or use our cars. Maybe anyone who has a short distance to go should use their bike, or ban air conditioners and other things that we could live without. My advice is not to burn to many fossil fuels.

The first photo (on the left) shows young Robert and his friend at a ski mountain in Rhode Island. In 1967 there were 4 places to ski in Rhode island that used natural snow. Now there is one place in Rhode Island that you can ski at, and they use mostly man made snow.
The second photo (on the right) is a photo of the weather predictions a week ahead in the present day.

Precipitation Interpolation weather map 2010
This is an interpolation precipitation map from 2010. It measures the rainfall using a variety of different information points.
Precipitation Interpolation weather map 2019
Precipitation Interpolation weather map 2019
This is a precipitation map that I created that showes how much rainfall happened in march in 2019. When comparing this to the other map there is a noticeable difference.

This is a screencapture of sea ice in 2007, the yellow line is the usual and this year was particularly bad. Imagine having to live with half of your ecosystem gone.
