Global Marijuana March

is a quote by Climate Scientist, Ilissa Ocko from 2013 in a report called Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. When the topic of global warming, or now called “climate change” is brought to the table, many people have serious thoughts about the argument. Some say that humans are completely at fault for the climate change, while others argue that the global warming and climate change debate is all a hoax. There is sort of a happy medium of the argument where people think that climate…

Even though there are companies that rely on us to use fuels that cause pollution, world governments should allocate more resources to combat climate change because it is causing sea levels and global temperatures to rise. This is not the only thing that is happening or will happen in the near future, droughts will last longer, hurricanes will be stronger and more intense, air and water quality will decrease also. First, world governments should allocate more resources to combat climate change…

Have you ever noticed the air temperatures getting warmer, storms being much larger than they used to be? These are effects of global warming because the amounts of fossil fuels that we burn on a daily bases. The emissions of all the fuels we burn clogs up the atmosphere of the earth like a blanket and heats the earth up more than it would if we didn’t burn fossil fuels because it doesn’t allow gasses to escape out into the atmosphere. With the air heating up and getting warmer, the water…

relocate, said Kelly. “There will be a lot more people will be living in Wisconsin,” Kelly stated. According to a report issued by the Pentagon, climate change is an “urgent and growing threat to our national security.” The report also stated that global climate change would have wide-ranging implications for National Security because it will intensify existing problems such as poverty, social tensions, and environmental degradation. Already, climate change is creating problems for the…

As Earths population continues its rapid growth, natural resources are becoming increasingly strained. Conservative estimates predict the 2015 population of roughly 7 billion will increase to 11.2 billion by 2100, with countries becoming increasingly developed (UN 2015). Historically, gross domestic product (GDP) and greenhouse gas (GHG’s) emissions have been positively correlated (IPCCC 2014). If this correlation holds true, the increasing populous and perceived development will release more…

For my second lesson I’ve decided to connect it to my first one in order to expand on the same topic of the season fall. In the last lesson we talked about how there are noticeable changes that occur when the seasons change, such as fall where there are colder temperatures, less sunlight, and more wind. These factors also causes nature to react such as causing the leaves to change color and fall off. In the last lesson it was an interactive read-aloud where I brought in a variety of different…

Emily Cassidy Research Report Emily Cassidy Period 1 Mr. McMahon Research Report Research Report Water Desalination Due to climate change, surging population growth, urban development, and industrialism, the worldwide need for fresh water is increasing. "It is the hope of future generations that desalination can solve that need," (Leon Awerbuch). Water Desalination is a process similar to the water cycle, used to remove salts and other chemicals from sea water. Salt water is…

Costly Savings Overview The day following Thanksgiving, Black Friday, corrects for the out of place joy the holiday brings to the dreary wintertime by completely opposing its basic principles. Where Thanksgiving brings appreciation and contemplation, Black Friday brings an insatiable appetite and a total disregard for others. While the dangers and rewards of Black Friday may often be exaggerated, total success will be a challenge. With enough planning and preparation any Black Friday goals can…

Aldo Leopold’s A Sand County Almanac introduces the concept of a “land ethic” which Leopold defines as a change in relationship between humans and the land—a transition from dominator to member—and the cultivation of a positive, symbiotic partnership (240). Currently, the relationship between humans and the land leans on the side of parasitic. Humans are leaching off of the natural resources of the land in a way that is not sustainable nor respectful, and are continuously causing irreversible…

An example of my life is when I see something on the television about how global warming is affecting everyone and we should start doing things to help prevent it. I start to bike to school instead of getting a drive and I start shutting the lights off when I’m not using it but soon after a week I go back to what I used to do…
