Earth's Atmosphere
The lowest layer of the atmosphere where almost all weather happens
Troposphere
If its winter in Canada, then it will be this season in Australia
Summer
The region of Earth warming the fastest
The Arctic
One general change in climate for the Prairies is that winters will be warmer and this
Shorter
Indigenous Peoples have very important roles to play in addressing global climate change because of their very strong connections to this
Land
This layer of oxygen protects the Earth from harmful UV radiation from the Sun
Ozone Layer
Earth's tilt
This is drilled from glaciers and ice sheets to study past climates
Ice cores
More forests can be expected to be replaced by this type of habitat
Grasslands
To help prepare for future climate change and help protect habitats, the Blackfoot and other nations are making efforts to bring back more of this keystone species that represents the teaching of respect to more areas
Bison
The layer above the troposphere
Stratosphere
The shortest day of the year
December 21 or 22
This is shrinking considerably across the Arctic Ocean over recent decades due to a warming climate
Sea ice
With a warming climate, more plants and animals from southern regions like grasses, insects, spiders, snakes, and these small parasites can be expected in Manitoba
Ticks
If you have a flashlight and radio in your emergency preparedness kit, you should also have these and check them every six months
Batteries
A greenhouse gas much more powerful than carbon dioxide
Methane
The time period between ice ages/glacial periods
Interglacial Period

Lichens
Animals and plants that are slow to adapt to changing climates will become this
Endangered
A safe place in a house where you want to go during a tornado, but want to stay out of during a flood
Basement
The outer layer and highest of the atmosphere
Exosphere
The reason for Earth's tilt
A Mars-sized planet, Theia, slamming into Earth 4 billion years ago
This scientific report details what is happening to the arctic due to climate change and is published every year since 2006 by a government agency
The Arctic Report Card
A warmer and drier climate for Manitoba means we will experience more of certain natural disasters, especially wildfires and these
Droughts
It is unsafe to be near these things on walls during a severe storm or tornado
