It was a bright and early Monday morning, and 

Jordan was fast asleep.

"Jordan, wake up! Your going to be late for 

school." His mother had come into his room. 

"Why are your lights and tv still on? Don't you 

know your wasting good energy?"

Jordan went to the bathroom to brush his 

teeth and wash his face. As his mother 

walks by she sees that he has the water 

running. "JORDAN, TURN OFF THAT 

WATER!" she yells. "Okay Mom." 

Jordan turns the water off, quickly 

finishes dressing, and hurries outside to 

catch the bus.

Ten minutes later Jordan arrives at school, and 

runs into his science teacher in the school 

yard. "Hey Mr. Clark. Are we doing anything 

fun in class today?" "Yes actually, were 

learning about the Earth's climate. You won't 

want to miss it, see you later."

Later that day Jordan is sitting in Mr. Clark's 

science class learning about the Earth's 

climate change, when he slowly drifts into a 

deep sleep and begins to dream.

"Yo Jordan, wake up!" Jordan opens his eyes 

and sees a boy about his age, but he looked 

different from other little boys. His hair was 

grass green and his eyes were sky blue. 

"Who are you? Where did you come from? And 

where is everyone?" Jordan asks. "Well, Mother 

Earth and Father Time had a son, that's me, 

Bobby Earth, but you can call me Bob. You fell 

asleep during an important lesson during class. 

I'm here to make sure you get all the facts."

"Climate change is a change in the Earth's 

temperature. Right now the Earth's temperature is 

rising due to increased levels of greenhouse gases, 

which are also known as heat-trapping gases. This, 

in large part, is due to human activities."

"What kinds of gases are humans releasing?" 

Jordan asks. "I'm glad you asked. Humans are 

releasing tons of carbon dioxide into the Earth's 

atmosphere everyday. The carbon dioxide is 

heating the Earth and causing glaciers to melt 

and sea levels are rising. As a result, coastal 

communities around the world are in danger of 

being flooded or damaged in storms."

"What exactly are people doing to release so 

much carbon dioxide, and where in the world is all 

this flooding happening?"

"Well, one country that has suffered greatly from 

climate change is China. Every couple of years it 

looses about a foot of its land to the rising sea, 

and in 2012 the people there suffered through 

twenty four storm tides due to climate change."

Jordan thinks for a moment. "You still haven't 

answered my other question," he says. "What 

exactly are people doing to make this happen?"

"People do all kinds of things that are bad for the 

Earth in their daily lives, but I want to talk about 

you right now. We're going to take a look at your 

day."
