Recently I was talking to different people in the different parts of the world. I talked to my high school friend who is in Paris, my mother’s friends from Siberia, and my long-term friend from Moscow. They all were complaining about the recent weather conditions. I am completely agreed with them. The weather is getting worse and this is scary!

It is getting more cloudy and windy in Paris over the summer. It is getting warmer in Siberia during the winter and very rainy during the summer. In Moscow people basically do not see the sun anymore.

The climate is changing. The air pollutants from fossil fuel use make clouds reflect more of the sun’s rays back into space. Recent years show increasing temperatures in various regions and increasing extremities in weather patterns.

We can help work on solving this problem by doing our part. There are few tips:

•    Walk or ride a bike instead of driving a car.
•    Teleconference instead of flying.
•    Use compact fluorescent light bulbs.
•    Recycle.
•    Plant native trees.
•    Turn down the heat.
•    Buy renewable energy.
