Destruction is coming Summary and Response Mass destruction, fires, pollution, shortages of oil and gas. In Chip Ward’s letter, “We Screwed Up” (2012) he tells of all the mistakes we have made from past generations until now. Even though he is right about some of these mistakes he forgets to give solutions on how to fix them. If we don’t change now and find solutions, the next generations could be facing these problems alone. In the next 50 to 100 years people might see the world change to a

Just as the earth is in constant motion, our environment is in constant change. Everyday there are environmental changes happening all around us. They can be gradual and happen over millions of years like the great Himalayas or they can be quick and sudden like an earthquake or tsunami. These environmental changes have a major impact on evolution. When a change takes place in an environment, organisms will either adapt to their new surroundings or they will no longer exist. As is the case with the

Ocean Acidification The article that I read about is called “Why isn’t anyone talking about ocean acidification”. This article explains that climate change is not the only outcome of increased greenhouse gas concentrations, and that ocean acidification occurs when carbon dioxide dissolves (CO2) in ocean water, undergoing a chemical reaction that produces carbonic acid. The increase of ocean acidification is attributed to one main cause: an ongoing increase of carbon dioxide levels in the earth’s

On the off chance that the fire had not happened, it would look a considerable measure changed. To start with, think about

I read, More Acidic Oceans ‘Will Affect All Sea Life’ by Roger Harrabin. The article mainly talked about how ‘all sea life will be affected’ because of the carbon emissions expelled due to modern day society. It then went into more detail by saying how some sea life creatures could benefit from it, but the too will still be affected by the things happening in their ecosystem. The article also states that not only do the carbon emissions affect the sea life, but so does ‘overfishing, coastal development

flooded what can cause such a big disaster the answer is Antarctica. Some of Antarctica ice sheets are more than 2 miles think. If melted the water can raise atone of water. Scientist wants to discover how much frozen water Antarctica holds and how much global sea levels will rise if it all melted. After a 100 flights they calculated that Antarctica has over 90% of the worlds ice. The beginning of the world’s ice age was about 70,000 years ago. Imagine Miami, how we are all surrounded by water, the scientist

Human made global warming, a serious problem that is going on today. Even you can be a part of the problem! Today, car companies came up with and started working on Hybrid cars which reduce common emissions caused by normal cars by a whopping 27 percent, as stated by the EPA! Though that is helping the greenhouse gas boost in our atmosphere. Currently it is slowing it down; things as simply leaving your iPhone plugged in adds up to damaging the environment. During 2013, the amounts of greenhouse
