The problem is deforestation. Deforestation is caused by the removal of natural plants (mostly trees). It is caused by mostly farmers and loggers. Farmers use burn tactics to open up the land and clear it faster. Loggers also do not help the case because of some of them use illegal means of doing so. Some deforestation, however is not on purpose. Forest fires start from campers leaving the fire not fully extinguished. This fire can become a huge forest fire that will destroy trees and natural land. Deforestation is a very important issue that we must address. It is something that could lead to the destruction of Earth and its inhabitants. If we do not work towards solving this issue of deforestation then we may not be here and if don't fix it soon then we may not have enough time to fix it. Deforestation is a global issue not just a domestic one. Therefore, countries must work together and collaborate to battle Deforestation and stop it in it's tracks.]]> 2019-01-17 14:17:18 UTC https://padlet.com/skofidis/c2883chr0dd6/wish/321684246 sjakupi https://padlet.com/skofidis/c2883chr0dd6/wish/321717850 Global warming may be something humans don't take seriously, but it's a big deal that affects both crops and wildlife. For example, https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2019/01/16/coffee-extinction-global-warming-threatens-top-coffee-species/2597511002/ includes a video and a small summary about how large species of coffee are threatened with extinction. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/global-warming/global-warming-overview/ shows how global warming is caused by greenhouse gasses that let in sunlight but trap heat. They explain that it affects the oceans because polar ice caps are melting, causing extra water to make sea levels rise. They also explain that it affects the weather because more heat causes more frequent storms and floods. They also mention that global warming will cause our food supply to shorten, because it will lead into more droughts. Finally, global warming as stated in the video, will cause our health to be worse because of the rise of smog. As for how global warming is caused, ]]> 2019-01-17 15:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/skofidis/c2883chr0dd6/wish/321717850 skofidis https://padlet.com/skofidis/c2883chr0dd6/wish/322124702 "The process that trees use to make their energy is photosynthesis. This process uses carbon dioxide that is in the air. Therefore the more trees we have the less carbon their is in the air. When these trees are cut down in deforestation or they die, they slowly release their stored carbon releasing it into the atmosphere and contributing to global warming." Photosynthesis may seem good when it is taking in Carbon Dioxide but when trees die they release all of that carbon dioxide and that does not make the situation any better. Photosynthesis is a very complex process that requires everything to go right. Carbon Dioxide is one of the biggest contributors to Deforestation and climate change. It is a very dangerous thing. Now most people will not worry about this or pay attention to it because it has nothing to do with them. Well actually it is 110% your fault and everyone around you is at fault as well. This is because we all produce daily carbon emissions. From our cars to our machines. Now some people may think that if they use no carbon machines or don't drive a car it will not be their fault. Well you are helping but no matter what you are always breathing and that is a carbon emission as-well. So this is why we need to raise awareness to the subject and observe and try to figure out how to stop this and get back our planet.]]> 2019-01-18 14:33:09 UTC https://padlet.com/skofidis/c2883chr0dd6/wish/322124702 skofidis https://padlet.com/skofidis/c2883chr0dd6/wish/322422738 https://youtu.be/CejDezNfuC0]]> 2019-01-19 19:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/skofidis/c2883chr0dd6/wish/322422738
