The climate change in my town Nowadays we can hear a lot of people all around the world talking about the problem of the climate change. For the most part of the experts this problem is caused by the humans, with their cars, industries and garbage that pollute the environment. The increase of the average temperatures causes the melting of the ice in some parts of the world and drought and famine in others. This problem is getting visible also in the Alps. Yesterday, I was speaking with an old man that has been living here for 70 years. He said that until 30-40 years ago, the winter average temperature was 20-25°C below and in some days it could reach 30-33°C below. But in the last winters this is never happened. The lowest temperature of this winter has been 17°C below. Also the quantity of snow is decreased in the last years, and this has caused problems both for the local economy and for the water reserves.
