This Article goes into the facts that people and their usage of Carbon is really harming the earth  thus causing it to warm up. They go into specifics such as, "Every one of the past 40 years has been warmer than the 20th century average. 2016 was the hottest year on record. The 12 warmest years on record have all occurred since 1998. " Every single year has been warmer since the start of the industrial revolution. Also it goes into how global warming has increased the sea level and ho that is impacting certain environments. Another impact Global Warming has is Wild fire season as there have been more Wild fires in US than ever before. Overall, this article gives you good information on how Global warming has impacted the earth and ways we can help fix the problem.]]> 2017-11-02 14:46:24 UTC https://padlet.com/18bakerc/coklv3znkvfz/wish/202932290 18bakerc https://padlet.com/18bakerc/coklv3znkvfz/wish/202943748 Topic: Green House Gas emissions 

This article is about how Obama's Clean Power Plan is going to be removed. This was a result of a Trump Executive Order that ordered for the review of this plan. He questioned the Legality of the Plan. The EPA has yet to say whether or not they will make another Plan that will follow the Laws in the US. The plan required states to follow a simple carbon emissions rate which was deemed unconstitutional after the review of President Trump. While this Plan was in effect though, it saved lots of lives and asthma attacks. As said by a professor from Harvard, he states that due to the review of the bill by President Trump, it will cut short many lives due to our rate of Green house Gasses in the atmosphere.

This Article says that the President in Australia is trying to start up a Coal Mine in Australia in a rather secluded area. This is in major contrast to currently what the world believes. The world believes in renewable resources now and trying to use them rather than coal and other non renewable resources. It also dives into how this could big project could generate lots of jobs but there is a problem with this. The problem is that this major would kill all of the other mining projects in the surrounding area thus making lots of people lose their jobs.  ]]> 2017-11-02 18:25:07 UTC https://padlet.com/18bakerc/coklv3znkvfz/wish/203063496 18bakerc https://padlet.com/18bakerc/coklv3znkvfz/wish/203077853 Topic: Water Pollution

This Article talks about how humans can have a affect on the water and the different ecosystems involved in the water. It also talks about how things such as construction sites, or farms can cause runoffs thus causes the water to be very polluted. Another very harmful factor that water has to deal with is the waste dumping from major factories. They have dumped heavy metal and toxins into the water and thus making it very unhealthy for plants and mammals to live in the water. ]]> 2017-11-02 18:52:30 UTC https://padlet.com/18bakerc/coklv3znkvfz/wish/203077853 18bakerc https://padlet.com/18bakerc/coklv3znkvfz/wish/203109976 Topic: Volcanoes impacting the climate

This article is about how if a catastrophic eruption were to occur then it would definitely change the climate of the earth fr that year. It would not have the energy to be able to change the earths climate forever as climate would regulate after a blast like in 1815 when a volcano erupted and happened to change the climate for that year. When a volcano in Europe erupted it changed the climate in that year as they had one of the coldest winters recorded ever. This was due to the amount of sulfur dioxide that had been released into the air from the volcano. The scientist discovered that if a eruption like the one in Europe were to happen again the a large portion of the earth's land area would be covered in snow like in Europe during that same winter. ]]> 2017-11-02 20:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/18bakerc/coklv3znkvfz/wish/203109976 18bakerc https://padlet.com/18bakerc/coklv3znkvfz/wish/203122950 Topic: Deforestation 

Basically what this article says is that deforestation is extremely harmful to the environment and other ecosystems around them. For instance, this would lead to lots of extinct animals and plants due to the fact that the trees are a major part of a mammals ecosystem. This also impacts the amount of carbon currently in the earth's atmosphere. If we continue to cut down trees, our planet will continue to heat up. ]]> 2017-11-02 21:12:04 UTC https://padlet.com/18bakerc/coklv3znkvfz/wish/203122950 18bakerc https://padlet.com/18bakerc/coklv3znkvfz/wish/223627827 Topic: Global Warming

In Greenland, the glacier is becoming smaller and smaller. According to the article, the earth around green land has risen about 60 degrees which is terrible if you are trying to keep a ice sheet from melting. This is a very important issue due to the fact that if the earth continues to warm up then all the glaciers or ice sheets might melt causing a major rise in sea level and a lose of a lot of drinking water. ]]> 2018-01-23 03:50:07 UTC https://padlet.com/18bakerc/coklv3znkvfz/wish/223627827 18bakerc https://padlet.com/18bakerc/coklv3znkvfz/wish/223628503 Topic: Extinction

The Article states that the planet is going through its 6th mass extinction crisis ever. The last one to ever happen was the Jurassic extinction with the dinosaurs. The article also states the many groups f mammals, amphibians, birds and many others are endanger of extinction. The most of any the groups unfortunately are the amphibians as they are the group most endanger of losing most of their members. ]]> 2018-01-23 03:56:17 UTC https://padlet.com/18bakerc/coklv3znkvfz/wish/223628503 18bakerc https://padlet.com/18bakerc/coklv3znkvfz/wish/223629598 Topic: Fossil Fuels

This article outlines how the emissions of fossil fuels are basically destroying our planet. They say that the total mount of oil that is on the earth is around 1688 billion barrels of oil that is absolutely absurd as by 2055 the article says that we will use about have that amount which could cripple the planet. It also states that by 2035 the emissions will almost double as the amount of oil increases as a result. ]]> 2018-01-23 04:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/18bakerc/coklv3znkvfz/wish/223629598 18bakerc https://padlet.com/18bakerc/coklv3znkvfz/wish/223630386 Topic: Agriculture

The article states that climate change could change the way that we create food and ultimately eat food. They say that three key components could affect the way we eat: Location, food quantity, and food quality. The Location of everything matter. They way we eat may now depended on where the food comes from. Next the quality of the food is going to matter as we cant eat something that is not good enough for us to eat. Finally, the amount of food could be effected by the way that climate is changing. ]]> 2018-01-23 04:11:42 UTC https://padlet.com/18bakerc/coklv3znkvfz/wish/223630386 18bakerc https://padlet.com/18bakerc/coklv3znkvfz/wish/223631056 topic: x-ray in space

This article talks about how x-ray could navigate a unmanned space craft that can reach our solar system and beyond. This would be very useful as we try to see what is beyond our solar system. For a very long time our space has been a very mysterious thing but now with this we might be able to answer some of the questions that we may have about space and our universe as a whole. ]]> 2018-01-23 04:19:15 UTC https://padlet.com/18bakerc/coklv3znkvfz/wish/223631056 18bakerc https://padlet.com/18bakerc/coklv3znkvfz/wish/223631530 Topic: Hiv/ AIDS

The topic of AIDS has been a very serous topic for the last century as we desperately try and figure out answers for AIDS. But in this article it states that a pill could stimulate the virus so that it can no longer harm you if you take a pill once a week. This is a very big break through in the AIDS issue as we try to find answers. This is unfortunately in he developmental stages but it is a win for many people. ]]> 2018-01-23 04:23:39 UTC https://padlet.com/18bakerc/coklv3znkvfz/wish/223631530
