Final Word

Well I know Global Warming could be the most dangerous threat Earth could face. It would be difficult for us to fix some of these problems especially Weather problems. There’s no way we could change the temperature or stop hurricanes. But there is a way to have clean air and stop polluting the world with carbon dioxide. Our Vehicles are doing most of the damage to Earth Atmosphere. If we could start using lest vehicles that use oil and start using more electric vehicles than we can solve the air pollution. Also we could stop deforestation by not cutting down trees. We should plant trees for our oxygen. We also need to protect the Plant Society because they help us with our oxygen as well. And another way to stop Global Warming is to recycle. We all should stop Recycling and help out the community. I know we can all stop Global Warming so it won’t affect us in the future.

President Barack Obama's Plan



Our new President Barack Obama showed us his plan to deal with the issue of climate change. The governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California already took action by creating a low carbon fuel standard. And Barack Obama wants to make Schwarzenegger plan to be a nationwide plan for the U.S. “This is our generation’s moment to save future generations from global catastrophe by creating a market for clean-burning fuels that can stop the dangerous transformation of our climate,” said Obama. People in New Hampshire and California are concern about global warming and already start using fuels that produce less carbon. Obama’s also said that in to year 2015, transportation would contain fuel with 5% less carbon, and then by 2020 10% less carbon. I agree with Mr. Schwarzenegger and Mr. Obama plan to stop Global warming. The less fuels of Carbon we could use the less Carbon dioxide we going to have in our Atmosphere. Because The United States is the largest consumer of oil.

Regions already being strike by Global Warming pt. 2

Island all over the world will go through weather tragedies. A small nation of Islands name Kiribati have said that global warming is showing there islands some problems. It’s going to be hard for the people in the island to escape from evacuation when a weather tragedy could occur. And they also said they waiting for any country nearby to open its doors for the people of Kiribati. Kiribati Islands have about 10,000 people living there. “According to the Red Cross, environmental disasters displace more people than war.” The London’s Christian Aid said there might be more deaths than any war that the earth has been through. Russia, Norway, the U.S., Canada and Denmark are all located on the top of the word and were Global ice melting is occurring. I guess there will be no more winter resorts or extreme sports like snowboarding, ski etc. The Winter Olympics could be endangered.

Regions already being strike by Global Warming pt.1

Global Warming is starting to Affected us. And we aren’t doing anything to stop it, and some of us don’t even care. Temperatures around the world are extreme. The four Seasons is mixing with different temperatures. A region in western Sudan is one of the places that are already being affecting by Global warming. Farmers are beginning to leave their fields. The Lands in Sudan are starting to break and other towns are going through a drought moment. The Gulf Coast is another region that is starting to show events of Global Warming. Hurricanes are starting to appear much more. In a Resident town in Italy more than 2,000 people suffered with high fever. Asian Tiger Mosquitoes were the cause. Malaria disease was spreading. In Northern Europe like Spain weather temperature is decreasing. The Wine Cultivation are being strike due to this temperatures. Ocean Surface is also rising up in Northern Europe.

Agriculture and Global Warming


Agricultural will have changes due to the Green house effect. It will be hard for us to produce food in the Global Warming environment. So it will not only be a bad news for human but also for domesticated animals. Crops will be hard to grow from the air gasses that the environment will have. “Agriculture itself is the major contributor to increasing methane and nitrous oxide concentrations in earth's atmosphere”. Earth’s soil will be damage to the actions of weather events such as floods. In 2003 Grain Productions have shortened. The Growth of crops have shown results during the last for years that crops haven’t been growing because long periods of drought. Sowing and harvesting will shorten from different temperatures. Plants will be starved with Carbon Dioxide air. It will also affect plant communities and may damage the plants in some of these communities. I think crop growers are going to suffered and will be hard to maintain a healthy Agriculture environment.

Water Regions

Global warming will lead to a boost of the global water. In some Regions the earth sea surface is increasing due to rainfall. Evaporation and other forms of sea rainfalls are as well rising. In the late 20th Century precipitation has increase. “Precipitation is more difficult to monitor than temperature due to its greater geographical variability.” More of dry regions will that are sensitive will face climate changes in the early times of the 21th century. This will make more river flooding. Freshwater lakes and other wetlands will influenced to changes that the hydrological cycle is having from the result from Global Warming. Also the freshwater organism will travel to a higher level of latitude because of the temperatures. Mean while in the lower latitudes of freshwater extinctions will occur. The rise of the sea surface could make the sea water invade freshwater areas. If this occur than it will stress out people to get freshwater. And it will also affect the Agriculture system.

Impacts and Deforestation

The world would have many impacts when the climate changes from the green house problem were facing. The Global average temperature has increase in the last years. “Global average surface temperature could be anywhere from 1.4 to 5.8°C (with a best estimate of 3°C) higher by the end of the 21st century.”I find this hard for our Earths ecosystem to control itself and to adapt to the climate changes. Deforestation will be one of the problems in the changing of climates. Deforestation means “A process of changing land use from forestry to a non-forest use”. About 99% of Forest has been lost in Western Europe. “In the 1980s global deforestation was estimated at 17 to 20 million hectares per year, equivalent to the size of Britain.” Our trees will struggle in the green house society especially because it absorbs Carbon Dioxide. I think healthy water would be one of the hardest to find during the Global warming effect.
