Climate actions are natural events in weather. We’ve always had hurricanes, droughts and wildfires, flooding and high winds. However, we are now seeing more of these. They are stronger and worst than before and destroy people's lives and livlihood ( how they make a living) It is very concerning to climate scientists.

This may be new vocabulary for some of you. Write them down. Study the screenshot below. Then do the activity.
