      Hi musciallyhappy4968,

      My research is a ‘0’ as it is perfectly safe for the human race. All my research will do is hopefully help us avoid the dangerous impacts of climate change and so that will help people! Also the process of doing my research, on a computer model isn’t dangerous as it can’t harm anyone as it’s all based on a computer.

      The vast majority of my work is not dangerous at all, so 1 or 0. Sometimes, on a volcano, there is always a chance that it could erupt, which would be really dangerous. But that’s pretty unlikely.

      hey musicallyhappy4968,

      Carrying out my research is a 0 as it usually involves sitting at a computer desk. So unless you could back pain and headaches danger then I’m pretty safe.

      Base on how it affects humans my research would maybe be a 5? but that’s just an educated guess
