Global warming is changing our world. And even though we might not feel it, there are people who one day will: our children. Whether climate change can be stopped depends on them, but they still know far too little about it.
全球暖化正改變我們的世界。而即使我們可能沒感受到，總有一天有人會感受到：我們的孩子。氣候變化是否能停止就仰賴他們，但他們對此知道的仍然太少。
GEOlino, the Gruner+Jahr science magazine for children wants to change that not with dull theory, but in a playful way. The idea—MELTDOWN, the first board game that melts.
GEOlino，Gruner+Jahr出版的兒童科學雜誌想要改變這情況，不是用枯燥的理論，而是用有趣的方式。這個點子：MELTDOWN，第一套會融化的桌遊。
With a bit of water in the special ice tray, children can build their own Arctic. The aim of the game is to guide a polar bear family to safety on the mainland. It's a race against time, as the path leads across real, slowly melting ice floes.
放一點點水到特製的製冰盒，孩子們可以建造出他們自己的北極圈。遊戲的目標是要帶領北極熊一家子安全登著陸。這是與時間的賽跑，因為路線通向真實、緩慢融化的浮冰。
MELTDOWN isn't played against each other but with each other. After all, climate change can only be stopped if everyone takes part.
MELTDOWN不是彼此對抗，而是彼此合作來進行遊戲的。畢竟，如果每個人都參與，氣候變遷才可以停止。
The game was presented at schools as part of a series of lectures. The children save lots of polar bears, whilst also learning something about imminent climate change.
此遊戲介紹給學校作為系列課程的其中一部分。孩子們拯救許多北極熊，同時也學到一些關於迫在眉睫的氣候變遷的知識。
Parents can now introduce the topic of climate change to their children at home.
父母們現在可以在家對他們的孩子提起氣候變遷的話題。
Of course, MELTDOWN can't stop global warming, but it can help raise children's awareness. Climate change can still be stopped. They just have to start early enough.
當然，MELTDOWN不能阻止全球暖化，但它可以幫助提高孩子們的意識。氣候變遷仍然可以停止。他們只是需要夠早開始進行。
