HK students to learn about climate change

Climate change and other environmental issues would be introduced as a new subject into the existing school curriculum, the Hong Kong's Observatory and Education Bureau said on Monday.
Observatory acting assistant director Leung Wing-mo said this was to educate young people about key issues such as global warming.

Mr Leung said the observatory had produced a new educational package on climate change for schoolchildren.This would help them become more knowledgeable about issues such as global warming.
"The objective was to put together the latest available scientific information on climate change for easy consumption by students and teachers so that the younger generation would understand the importance of the problem and take an active role in combating climate change," he said.
Global warming refers to the increase of the Earth's average temperature which can cause increase in sea levels and climate changes.
Principal-Assistant Secretary of the Education Bureau, Catherine Chan Ka-ki agreed that educating young people about the issue was vital in rectifying the problem.
"Tackling climate change demanded an all-out effort and education is one of the keys to success through enabling students to understand the rationale behind the changing issue and to take constructive action to resolve it," she said.
"It allows our students to study the issue from multiple perspectives and apply what they have learnt in different subjects such as science," Yeu Hau-yan, a geography teacher from Pooi To Middle School who helped develop a teacher's guide for the package said.
The package will be distributed to schools in Hong Kong before the end of September in which seminars will follow.
Presented in Chinese and English, the educational package consists of a DVD containing an animated cartoon, a cartoon booklet, a CD-ROM containing relevant information on climate change, as well as an Oscar Award winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth. In recent years there has been great concern about the impact of global warming on the Earth's environment, as well as other issues such as over-population, ecological damage, rising sea levels, changing weather patterns and more species becoming extinct.
Scientist warn that rising global temperatures that are melting the Arctic and expanding the oceans are now drawing more than 80 world leaders to the UN podium for an unprecedented summit on Monday on how to combat climate change, Associated Press reported.
