From the chart that I have found which clearly indicates the earth climate temperature over the past 20,000 years shows that global warming is truly having an effect. Many people have speculations on if the earths temperature is rising, one look at this chart will prove them wrong. In the beginning of time, the world did not have humans living on the land. It had animals, but it didn't cause pollution or the over- production of plastic which causes harsh chemical gases in the air. With all the people on the world, it is hard for the earth to heal itself. The world needs the people who populate it to help fix the issues that are going on all over the world. Ride a bike, reduce, reuse, recycle often ride the bus, this will help fix our earths problems. Curtail your carbon emissions to terminate as much of our carbon footprint.

Reflection

Thus far its been high flying with lots of strong information mixed with many opinions which I was expecting. This huge topic has been very interesting and I have been able to learn a lot that I didn't know before the class has started researching. After the last couple months,  I figured that I would know all there is about global warming, but I sure have proved myself wrong. There is so much to know about global warming. The issues that have arisen over the years has been devastating. The world population can fix some of what has already been done, but many people don't exactly know what is really going on. Most people base their decisions on global warming by listening to politicians and the news thats causing malign. The process has been going smooth. The blog topics have been very helpful in building up the information so that its easier to understand the massive amounts of information. Overall, learning and reading about global warming has made me want to help the world out by doing everything I can to educate people about it and try to erase some of your carbon footprint. I keep trying not to squander when writing my blogs. Im excited to see what my knowledge grows to by the end of the year.

Controversy on Global Warming

As in all topics and issues around the world there will always be people who have different opinions about certain topics. Global warming is no exception to this. Although the scientific facts are there, some people still believe that this has happened before and that history is repeating again. " Temperatures have been dropping in a wholly unpredicted way over the past year. Last winter, the northern hemisphere saw its greatest snow cover since 1966, which in the northern US states and Canada was dubbed the "winter from hell". This winter looks set to be even worse." said Christopher Booker in 2008. Its facts such as his that make some people think that global warming isn't happening, I know its often hard to know which scientist to trust. There are really only two views that somebody can take in this, either a yes or a no. Scientists in the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) report that over the past 50 years more than 13 000 sq km of sea ice in the Antarctic Peninsula has been lost which indicate the effects are in action. "Arctic ice is rapidly disappearing, and the region may have its first completely ice-free summer by 2040 or earlier. Polar bears and indigenous cultures are already suffering from the sea-ice loss." says National Geographic scientists who are very acclaimed and also have many other strong reasons to support the problem. These debates will always persuade people in thinking different things. Keeping an open mind and looking at the strong facts will show you the truth. After reading the articles and learning the different sides, the people that don't think its a problem should explain their reasonings to all the animals that have gone extinct from global warming. The animals are becoming extinct due to the loss in habitat from the changing temperatures being found around the world. Many people are arbitrary and need to remember the facts.
