A Message From Mother Nature?

What is the main point of this article?
The main point of this article is that scientists prefer calling the Earth changing climate change instead of the term global warming because it's not just the Earth getting warmer.

List four vocabulary words that you do not recognize or understand, lookup the definitions, write them out using your own words.

I have never experience weather, even though I seen rain storms in Saigon a lot, and I experienced 10 inch flooding.

Perception is how you see something in your point of view.

What is your “perception” of global climate change?
My perception is that we cannot redo what we have done, but we can fix our mistakes by slowing the process of destroying our home down.
