Anne is invited by her friend Jane to Maldives during her summer vacation.

Jane is very happy to see Anne, she bring Anne to the seaside.

Hi Anne, welcome to Maldives. Do you like this place?

It is a paradise, I have never been a place like Maldives.

Haha, yes, Maldives is a paradise. Come on, follow me, let me show you something.

Wow, the sea is so beautiful!

Maldives has beautiful sea and weather, but nowadays our weather is getting worse because of the global warming. The climate change is one of our worries as well.

Climate change and weather change is not same? I thought they are same meaning!

What? No no no, climate is a long term of weather in a place, but weather is only for short term conditions. For example our weather now is sunny, has little wind, but our climate is a year-round hot tropical climate

Wow, I learn something new, but what about the earth climate? What will make it change?

There are many conditions. The energy from the sun warm earth up, our climate changed by the amount of solar radiation received at Earth. Also, the ocean currents affect the temperature and amount of rain, the air will pick up the water when it pass a lake or an ocean, someplace wet, it also will be dry when it pass a dry place.

The water cycle is a important condition that effect the climate as well. The water from the ocean, sea, lake, in the air, and the plants will become the cloud and rain or snow or ice to the ocean or land again.

But what is the biggest reason that made Maldives' climate change?

Well, actually, not only Maldives, the whole earth's climate is changing, the world is getting warmer. These are all because of the "Green House Effect"... Ahh, we are arrived.

This is my home, you can stay here these days. I guess you are very tried after the flight.

Thank you! I am. It is so good to have a rest in such a beautiful place.

Do you have a good sleep?

Yes! It was so good. But I hear your home was not like this, what happened? why you suddenly change it?
