Authentic Text (insert reading text here or link to the listening recording)
How is sign language adapting to climate change?
For deaf children, teachers and scientists, talking about things like "greenhouse gases" or "carbon footprint" used to mean spelling
out long, complex scientific terms, letter by letter.
Now they are among 200 environmental science terms that have their own new official signs in British Sign Language (BSL).
The deaf scientists and sign language experts behind the update hope the new vocabulary will make it possible for deaf people to fully
participate in discussions about climate change, whether it's in the science lab or classroom.
"We're trying to create the perfect signs that visualise scientific concepts," explains Dr Audrey Cameron.
