polar ice caps are melting causing a frightening increase to ocean levels, but Clay Kelly still has hope. By analyzing microscopic organisms, associate professor Daniel Clay Kelly in UW-Madison’s Department of Geoscience, studies the history of the earths’ climate that, explains how ocean acidification and rising carbon dioxide levels are causing catastrophic damage to our planet. Deep-sea sediment records are used as an archived of the Earth’s climate that spans the last 170 million years of…

It is mined from our oceans and within our earth to provide energy, gas, and fuel for heating homes, fueling vehicles, and factory use around the world.

He begins with our universe, especially earth since is a perfect planet. The earth’s size and its gravity which has a layer of nitrogen and oxygen that extends 50 miles about the earth’s surface is perfect. If the Earth were too small, the atmosphere would be impossible. If earth were bigger, it would contain free hydrogen and any living thing would not survive. When looking at the earth’s distance from the sun, it is placed perfectly. If the earth were closer we…
