Conclusion

	Congratulations!  Through this WebQuest you have just learned about a major problem facing our world today.  Our planet is definitely heating up.  Should we be overly concerned?  Some scientists say, "Yes!" and some say, "No!"  Is the Kyoto Accord a fair agreement between nations?  Is the Kyoto Accord going to help solve "global warming"?  How do you think others in your community/province/state feel about this issue?
	You are tomorrow's future!  Share what you have learned with your family and friends around the dinner table tonight.  Telling others what you have learned will increase their awareness about "global warming" and the effects it could have on their daily lives.
	If you would like to explore this topic further, below are some questions to ponder and some sites that you might like to check out!  If you come across something interesting, don't be afraid to share it with your teacher and classmates!

 

	Questions to Ponder: Besides the polar bear, how are other animals being affected today by global warming? How might the landscape of our countries change?  For example, which cities on our planet could disappear if our ocean waters rise too high? What do you know about other sources of energy such as wave and tidal power, energy crops, and windmills? What can you do to make a difference?
