New temperature record


During our geography lesson, we talked about the temperature record of January in our country. Peter went outside to measure the temperature with a thermometer and registrated some 14 degrees Celsius, which is abnormally warm fro this time of the year. Jip went to the Media-centre to research more information about the hottest day of January, but she couldn’t find anything that’s why we are doing it instead of her. We couldn’t really find an exact reason for the warm temperature but we think it’s because of the greenhouse effect that affects the climate. The first temperature measuring was in 1901 in De Bilt (near Utrecht). With an average of 8.8 degrees 2007 takes the lead of the temperature record. The last record was in 1921 with an average temperature of 8.2 degrees. Our opinion about this warm temperature is: people are ruining the environment; they must be more concerned about it, because if we don’t change, terrible things will happen in this world.

It's very scary because the Netherlands are already under sea level (we're protected by dikes) and if there's more water coming...I don't think that would be nice for us...
