Most of you probably think this is a good thing because there will always be a nice weather but don't realise the bad effects it has to the earth.
Here are some of the effects.
Did you know there is more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today than at any other point in the last 800,000 years?

Floods also offten happen because of the rain. Sometimes it rains so hard the sea pours all the raindrops to the land.

This was very hard for the people that got caught on a drought. If you don't know what i mean,i am trying to say that when there is no water,crops cant grow and humans as well as animals don't have anything to drink or eat.This causes the food to cost even more.This means poor people can not buy food and actually starve to death.
Did you know that in 2010 China had the worst drought in the memory?]]> 2017-04-24 19:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/seloeylul/3iv8ro0yxoiy/wish/167958274 Wildfires seloeylul https://padlet.com/seloeylul/3iv8ro0yxoiy/wish/167962602 During the wildfire season from April to October,sometimes all t takes is a gunshot ignite a blaze.
Large-scale wildfires have sizzled around Utah for months, consuming acres of land and driving hundreds of residents out of their homes.

But drought conditions and hot temperatures weren't to blame for one that recently broke out in Herriman, Utah. Instead, machine gun fire from a National Guard artillery exercise sparked the blaze, and fast winds fanned the flames far and wide.

Help us make the world a better place :)]]> 2017-04-24 20:21:42 UTC https://padlet.com/seloeylul/3iv8ro0yxoiy/wish/167963881
