Climate as Seen by Eyewitnesses

Climate change on Earth is an obvious fact. Today it is noted not only by leading scientists from all over the world, but also by people living in different parts of the world. In the programme "Climate as Seen by Eyewitnesses", the people themselves tell about the weather anomalies, which they personally noticed, about the weather events in which they found themselves to be participants. People share their observations about how the weather conditions are really changing in the region where they live. Not all information about weather anomalies is covered by modern media, but it can be conveyed directly from one person to another. "Climate as Seen by Eyewitnesses" is a project from one person to another, within the framework of which everyone can tell what is happening to the weather where he is located, what climate changes are being recorded, share photos or video materials about it. And also in the context of this topic, examples of people's solidarity and mutual assistance in difficult weather conditions, examples of mutual help, are particularly inspiring.
