Effects of global warming

The page I use to get the info was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_global_warming
Effects of Global Warming.

Scientist has predicted many things for global warming, some of this thing for human life and environmental are numerous and varied. There are lots of effects but the most abundant one is the increasing temperature globally. Other of the changes that are mostly talked in present day about this effects are rising seas, extreme weather, and the expansion of tropical diseases. In some of the places on earth this changes are already noticeable and this changes are taken very bad effects and are killing people. The effects of global warming are divided into mitigation and adaptation.
Mitigation: Mitigation are all the actions we take to reduce global warming
Adaptation: Adaptation are the actions to reduce the negative effects of global warming

Climate changes are to be the most harmful of the effects of global warming, because these are projected every where globally. This includes slowing the circulisation of the currents in the sea, the melting’s of icebergs and ice sheets. One bad thing of this is that there is not timing the hypothesis is that is happening very slowly, but with the global warming going grater the ¨very slowly¨ goes to , fast. Sciences academies said that the green house warming may increase and so many climate disasters, if we don’t stop. There is no suability about positive inserts of global warming, but what is mostly known are negative hits on us.

The most consequences of this are higher temperatures, and higher sea, what is expected in this century is that the global level of sea will rise about 50-200 cm, such of a rise of sea will cost many lives an about 7,000 square miles of land ONLY in the United States.

What I learned: Like I said on my before post about ¨digging into my subject ¨ I said that in this topic of the "Global Warming Causes and effects" will not bring me many new things and very sure of it because I’ve seen a lot of it. Is not that I know everything but I am certainly sure that I know lots of it. But I , here , learned that the level of sea will rise about 50-200 cm, and that this rise will cause many damages and deaths linking of loses of houses lacks of food etc, also that Global warming is divided by the scientist like Mitigation and by Adaptation. Mitigation that are the actions we take to reduce global warming, and Adaptation that is actions to reduce the negative effects of global warming.

What I think: Well I Would not change my way of thinking. This information that I got here if you look in other parts are basically the same because global warming is globally so the effects around the world are the same, basically. And I also think that this is silliness because we are killing ourselves with things that we created industries, cars, ships, wars, etc.

Where my path leads: I hopefully think that all of this will lead me into a great conclusion to try to stop killing ourselves.

diggin deeper into my subject

Diggin into my subject (Global warming) is another way to say that I am going to research and make this my final topic (hopefully), because I dont have any idea if I had to change my topic for any reason, beleive me i wouldn't like it anything.

http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070212/OPINION01/702120313/1008

What they said in this great page are things that are not new to know, this people say the same.

Things that they say are;

-That carbon dioxide levels are higher than ever recorded in earth, this caused by cars, industries, burning fossil fuels, etc..(not new)
- Global warming is caused by man, so we can blame them of doing things that are killing us. Natural disasters are being greater and are more casuals(Not new)
-Scientist said that if we dont act know may be in 50 or 60 years we will be living in a water less planet(new)

What I learned - Well scince I decided that this will be my final topic for the Teen Life Project, I knew from the beggining that in this topic of "Global Warming Casuses and effects" will not bring me many new things. Is not that I know everithing but I am certantly sure that I know lots of it. For example I knew that something called The Green House Effect is something that is damaging our world right now this The Green House Effect is when the carbon dioxide that WE the humans drop into the atmosphere, not rarely there is a warm air layer on top that retains most of the carbon dioxide that we drop off, the efect of this is that the temperatures of earth rise violently. Another thing that I surely know is that all of this global warming and pollution thing is that all of this is our fault.

What I think- I think that what I wrote in the beggining, about those back there. I get really mad everitime I see in the news about hurricanes, fires contaminated sea, air pollution, when I see that, I reallyze that people dont get it, people dont get that the planet is in its ending years, they dont get that we are dieing slowly and painfully, and also that the worst thing, it looks or if Im wrong, we are not doing anything! It is just silly to see that! I am so mad at the people. I cannot do anything because I am just a teen ager, and that this is a very big planet I cannot do it alone , but if I could I'd just do it immediatly I will try to save us.
All of the things that you sea in the news about Global warming and/or pollution is not a game and we have to act immediatly. I just think that this is something silly because is the same as if we kill our selves. I just wanted to know some of this... Why are we contaminating if we know its bad? What are some things that we can do to stop this?

Where my path leads- I hope that this Teen life project make me think of things that can help the world reduce global warming or pollution, because then it would be a very good thing. I would love to help reduce the glonal warming or pollution.

Pollution-(Global Warming)-

Thinking of my final topic for the teen life proyect, I would like to choose Pollution or also like I like to called, globlal warming. These is something that is bad for us the teen agers . Looking for good information and also a very good internet page , for information to this teen life proyect ,I looked in this one, click here (Pollution). This was not the only page i visited also http://www.earthinstitute.columbia.edu/crosscutting/climate.html. This are some of the things I got from that internet page.

"Scientist agreed the Earth's climate is being directly affected by human activity, and for many people around the world, these changes are having negative effects. Records show that 11 of the last 12 years were among the 12 warmest on record worldwide. Carbon dioxide levels today are nearly 30 percent higher than they were prior to the start of the Industrial Revolution, based on records extending back 650,000 yers. According to NASA, the polar ice cap is now melting at the rate of 9 percent per decade. Arctic ice thickness has decreased 40 percent since the 1960s. The current pace of sea-level rise is three times the historical rate and appears to be accelerating. The current pace of sea-level rise is three times the historical rate and appears to be accelerating".taken http://www.earthinstitute.columbia.edu/crosscutting/climate.html.

What this says here is that on the last recorded years scientist has conlude that humans are directly affecting earth by our activity, some things like burning fossil fuels, and other things that are damaging our earth and the atmosphere. Also that the carbon dioxide leves are higher than normal, this a producer of the green house effect that is when carbon dioxide is concentrated inside earth and it retains most of the heat from the sun, making also the polar ice cap melt 9 percent each decade! That is not the only thing also scince the 1960 ice thickness has reduced a 40 percent making sea levels rice and having lots of floods near costal areas.

Lots of bad things are happening to our earth right now, most of them are bad killing people our around us, but the worst thing is that is our fault, we are killing people, and we are all guilty for what is happening and all the casualties around the world.

I choose this topic (global warming) because I think is the most affective one right now in our lives around the world. And because we are teen agers in the future our lives are going to be horrible, we might suffer and lose our families, all because of our fault and other people. We have to stop this. But how? We should talk in our citys and making people realize for what is happening right now, many people dont now and its our turn to tell them that we are killing our selves slowly and that we are not doing any thing to stop it. We shold react to the world. We are the future of this world and we can not suffer...
