 increase of the average precipitation of snow and rainfall

 METHODO
LOGY

DISCUSSION
 CONCLUSION
The purpose of the study was to determine the perspective of
Block F KTSN residents on the changing concerns of global
warming issues. The sample consisted of 10 undergraduates who
were randomly selected. Interviews were done with questions
created by ourselves to find out their awareness on this issue.
The findings from this study show that the level of knowledge and
awareness towards global warming issue among KTSN residents
are excellent. All of the undergraduates have general knowledge
and opinion on global warming issue and they have a positive
attitude towards this issue.
