Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment. Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have shifted and trees are flowering sooner, because Earth's average temperature has increased about 2 degrees Fahrenheit during the 20th century. All of this is a pretty BIG deal- for us, but for future generation as well. 

Someone who likes to think BIG is the 45th President of the United States, former businessman and reality TV personality, Donald J. Trump. Sadly, Mr. Trump thinks climate change is a hoax, or even better: A Chinese Invention. 

Learning about and studying up on all kinds of climate facts and changes during their English lessons, 6A put their formal letter writing skills to good use and sent the US president some educational messages on why climate change is real and how he could help to solve it. According to their motto 'Make Climate Great Again' the students hope for their letters to be received  by the White House in Washington and to make a positive impact on current American climate politics. 

We hope to hear from you soon, Mr. President.

Sincerely,

6A

On the 6th of December 2018, the students of 6A had the privilege to talk to Cameron Haddad, a 23 year old American Business and Film student, based in California. Cameron, who was born in Louisianan and moved to California recently, answered 6A's questions about how he is affected by the wildfires in California, whether or not he believes in climate change and what American people are doing to help the environment. The students also had the chance to engage in a lively discussion about Trump's presidency and in what way his climate change policies are an attack on the fight against climate change in general. After reviewing Leonardo DiCaprios' movie on climate change, Before the Flood, and debating whether or not it is helpful for the process of solving an issue when famous people get involved, 6A said goodbye to Cameron and let him get back to bed (4 am American time).

A BIG THANK YOU from Admont to America! Until next time!

The Jungaroo was an animal who lived in the sea of Atlantis. The animal ate shells from the sea. It looked like a fish with a lion’s face. The Jungaroo had big ears and could swim an fly. It was two meters long and very colorful. The animal was smaller than a Snapkle, but it was bigger than a Hipcop. The Jungaroo wasn’t as dangerous as a Bugboy, but it was as friendly as a Ruckle. The other animals were scared because the Jungaroo was bigger than most other animals.
