1. What is your position? Do you agree or disagree? Create an argument persuading the reader of your point of view. Use evidence and facts to back up your ideas. Everyone should have solar panels at home. Cutting down trees should be banned to help reduce climate change. Kids can help everyone save energy. All school children should have to get public transport to travel to school. People should have to pay for their pollution. Australia should develop new and existing technologies to meet our energy needs as a priority. Australia's population is set to increase from 22 million to 31-43 million by 2056.

Solving climate change will need science and technology. 2. Tackle the TASK 1. Start with an introduction 2. Write your opinions on this topic and give reasons to explain your point of view 3.
