## What Difference Does It Make? All which addresses climate change.

**MONTRÉAL, Que. — June 2, 2011 —** The Exhibition Biosphère environment museum 
invites the public. All to discover three new exhibitions: +1°C: What Difference
Does It Make?, Finding Balance, and Woodland Escapes.

## **+1°C: What Difference Does It Make?**

This new permanent exhibit provides some answers to common questions about one of
the great planetary issues of the 21st century: climate change. What is the impact
of a [temperature increase](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/10/epa-finalizes-californias-list-of-polluted-waters-trends-include-170-increase-in-toxicity-listings-since-2006/)
of 1°C? What will the climate be like in 100 years? Via life-sized videos, scientists
answer these and other questions to demystify often-complex concepts and allow for
greater comprehension of this phenomenon.

The “Magic Planet,” a 1.2-m-diameter globe of the Earth and the only one of its 
kind in [Quebec](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/11/government-of-canada-and-nature-conservancy-of-canada-conserve-valuable-habitat-in-shelburne-county-nova-scotia/),
is just one of the exhibition’s attractions. Using satellite imaging, this interactive
globe displays natural, meteorological and climatic phenomena.

Throughout the exhibition, visitors will also see the short film _NANUQ_. This film
presents the testimonies of High Arctic Inuit about the impact of climate change
on their traditional way of life. The final part of the exhibition presents a portrait
of citizens who have found creative ways of fighting climate change.

“+1°C: What Difference Does It Make? sheds light on the science of climate change
by making it accessible to the public,” explained Jean Langlais, director of the
Biosphère. “We are inviting Canadians to get involved by taking action to mitigate
the effects of climate change.”

# **Finding Balance**

In seeking to balance quality of life and environmental concerns, we may question,
both as individuals and as a society the limits of the natural environment. I mean,
is such a balance even possible? There are a number of solutions that strive for
harmony with the natural world. To find them, we have to ask the right questions.
Also we must consider the fact that each of us influences the environment. All by
our lifestyle choices.

So this new permanent exhibition reveals ten examples. I mean of the impact our 
consumer choices have on the environment. Moreover and how they collectively contribute
to environmental imbalance.

of the Earth’s terrestrial biodiversity. Also and provide a livelihood for 1.6 billion
humans. Presented as part of the International Year of Forests. For this outdoor
exhibition of 40 over-sized photographs is above all a tribute to the beauty of 
forests.  Moreover it’s an invitation to become immersed in these rich and valuable
areas. Woodland Escapes, presented free of charge until April 30, 2012, follows 
the path linking the Jean-Drapeau Metro station and the Biosphère.
