Why? It turns out that I have been told that with global warming some coastal cities could be flooded when the sea level rises and I got very excited: I want the coast to be flooded so I can have a beach in Aragon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m already imagining it: every day after school, swimming with friends. The parties on the beach would be a great success. It would be brown all year round. Maybe the Mediterranean coast would have disappeared and we wouldn&#8217;t be able to go on holiday there any more, but we wouldn&#8217;t need to because we&#8217;d have a beach right here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s also true that my friend Montse would have nowhere to live because she&#8217;s from Salou and her village would be underwater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is also true that maybe the Monegros desert would have spread all over Aragon, but, anyway, it would be enough to switch to crops that grow well in the desert. Surely many things are grown in the desert, right? Now that it comes to my mind: would there still be peaches from Calanda?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What would really annoy me is skiing. Without snow, things would be really bad, maybe we could invent a system to slide down the slopes with some kind of carpet or cardboard like a sledge. Although the truth is that I&#8217;m finding it a bit lame&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m going to give it some thought, to see if in the end it&#8217;s going to be better to recycle like there&#8217;s no tomorrow, because I love skiing, I love peaches and I want to keep going to Salou to spend the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.svgrepo.com\/show\/175769\/down-arrow.svg\" alt=\" width=\" width=\"38\" height=\"53\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did you know that there is an Aragonese Strategy against climate change?

This date, established by the United Nations, highlights an issue that is of paramount importance for the future of the whole of humanity. Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time, as global warming changes weather patterns, wreaking havoc across the planet and threatening food production, among many other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every heat wave or cold snap we experience outside the usual months, every forest fire that shocks and shocks us, torrential rains and prolonged droughts, among other extreme events, remind us that this is an urgent problem that concerns us all. In the United Nations 2030 Agenda, Goal 13, &#8220;Climate Action&#8221;, invites us to take action to combat climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Further information:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/es\/climatechange\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"591\" src=\"https:\/\/agendaescolar.lenguasdearagon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image-2-1024x591.png\" alt=\" class=\" class=\"wp-image-1690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agendaescolar.lenguasdearagon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image-2-1024x591.png 1024w, https:\/\/agendaescolar.lenguasdearagon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image-2-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/agendaescolar.lenguasdearagon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image-2-768x443.png 768w, https:\/\/agendaescolar.lenguasdearagon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image-2.png 1264w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/climatechange\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/climatechange\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> United Nations.

It is something that seriously compromises our future as a species. To deny all this scientifically proven reality is an exercise in irresponsibility and absolute blindness. Climate change denialist discourse deserves no credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <em>Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) i<\/em>s a United Nations organization responsible for providing an objective and scientific opinion on climate change, its natural, political and economic impacts and risks, and possible response options. In 2007, the IPCC was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize with former US Vice-President Al Gore. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=b75yEnnxFuY&amp;t=17s\" target=\"_blank\">A short video on the IPCC 2022 report.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong> <strong> <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>Suggestions for teachers<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This  topic offers many possibilities as it has a very definite link with daily experience, with the environment, with consumption habits and daily attitudes.
