success over the years, wildfire prevention remains one of the most critical issues affecting our country” (“American Icon”). Right after the people thought that they needed protection for the forests, they posted flyers and other fire prevention messages that could help the people prevent accidental fires and help in the war. Settlers brought livestock that ate grass, so the fires had little fuel. “Forest fires and wildfires don't really have a difference besides wildfires are unplanned”…

The United States Should Restrict Carbon Emissions Since the beginning of the industrial revolution in the eighteenth century, the concentration of carbon dioxide has risen significantly to levels of up to forty-three percent. The combustion of fossil fuels is the reason this build up has been on the rise. The burning of these fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide, which is a major greenhouse gas (GHG) and is believed to be the major cause of global warming experienced in the recent past decades.…

on this planet with so many natural opportunities. To destroy itself. High park fire is an example of nature vs. nature. The high park fire was a wildfire in the mountains located in Larimer County, Colorado on June 9, 2012.

The earth’s climate is changing all the time. There are ice ages and heatwaves. At the moment we are going through another climate change. A statement from Barack Obama at the 2014th United Nations Climate Summit says, “There’s one issue that will define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other, and that is the urgent threat of a changing climate” (Fox News, 2014). This shows that climate change is a real thing and people did not just come up with it. Global warming is the…

Reducing wildfires is a huge problem that is trying to be solved. Prescribed burns is one of these ways but what does it really do for humans and the environment? Controlled burns are not wise because they get out of control very quickly, air quality becomes dangerous to breathe, and dips the economy dramatically. Controlled burns are quite the opposite of their name, they get out of control faster than they can be put out and contained. Such as in the 2012 case in North Carolina in which…

more than 3,000 people suffer from pollution-related respiratory diseases caused by the wildfires in 2017. A study released March 29, 2017 found that in 2007, air pollution lead to the premature deaths of 3.45 million people worldwide.

some roller coasters. I really enjoyed going on a ride called Thunderation. It’s a balmy ride with a small hill and twists. My mom and Natalie liked wildfire and the barnyard swing. Wildfire is a ride that goes upside down and spins a lot. Barnyard swing is a huge swing that you get strapped into and swung back and forth. My whole family liked wildfire a mild ride that has 3 small hills. It was a hot day temperatures reaching the lower 90s. So we decided to ride some water rides. Once we rode…

craters (Korberl et al (1997)). Therefore nanodiamonds in the YDB must result from ET sediments and shock processes, both of which can be explained by an ET impact (Kennett et al (2009)). Firestone et al., 2009, also suggests formation through wildfires, that were ignited through the impact (see below) These nanodiamonds have been found to peak in YDB sediments ~10 to 3700 ppb (REWU) (Firestone et al., 2009), with extremely low levels above and…

Willa Koivisto “I believe in America because we have great dreams, and because we have the opportunity to make those dreams come true.” Said Wendall Willke. The America I believe in everybody is equal. There are no wars against other countries. I believe we can come together as a country and become stronger. The only reason we have freedom is because of the veterans that fought for our country. We have freedom of religion in America. Freedom of religion lets people express their religion…

Humans affect the rainforest in many inadequate ways, such as deforestation and wildfires. “Deforestation refers to the cutting, clearing, and removal of rainforest or related ecosystems into less bio-diverse ecosystems such as pasture, cropland, or plantations.” (Algee). According to National Geographic, during the past 40 years, close to 20 percent of the Amazon rainforest has been cut down. (National Geographic) Wildfires also have a negative impact on the rainforests. “From the mid-1980s…
