Question:

3 points for global warming paper?

I'm writting a paper on the effects of global warming dealing with polar bears and melting glaciers.

I'm having a lot of trouble coming up with 3 points for my body paragraphs.

any ideas?

  1. Real, mostly caused by us, a serious problrem, capable of being fixed by us.

    One bonus point :-)


  2. you should say...global warming is making me sweat and i smell bad already, it makes tess little a sad little girl, and mrs bennett sucks the big one

  3. polar bears have less habitat,warmer water is killing fish, melting glaciers make the sea rise

  4. Global warming is but a component, in a group of destructive forces at work such as ;deforestation,desertification,Subsequen... wind and Water erosion,soil and water contamination ,irresponsible or wasteful utilization of bio resources and air pollution.

    WHICH WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR.

    A while ago one of NASA's top scientists concluded that the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice-free within five years, much faster than all previous predictions.

    Polar bears ARE dying,they are  great swimmers but they have their limits

    the distances are very great ,between the floating bits of ice ,and are getting more all the time and the ice islands are getting less.

    many get trapped by the spaces of water so to speak ,

    Also wading through slush is very exhausting ,And ice does not support them any more so they are crawling half swimming ,very sad to see

    they cannot walk and pounce as they did to hunt seal before .

    the time span between meals is to great to keep cubs alive or maintain energy for long distance swimming

    Watch a BBC documentary by David Attenborough

    he did about 15 movies called Planet earth

    the ones called Future ,the ice worlds ,from Pole to Pole ,

    covers the poles and shows footage of polar bears swimming

    And they can drown eventually from exhaustion

    you have to see the film to realize the distances involved.

    Also some very impressive stuff with polar bears attacking Walruses in desperation ,because their normal game and normal way of hunting ,of seals on ice is gone.

    So Hunger is also doing the bears in.

    this goes with the changes in Habitat

    If the bears are near land they may adjust and start hunting people, the next game on their list

    But this may cause someone to be upset and they will get shot instead.One wonders why Humans are the least in danger of extinction.on the contrary

    NOTE

    All 15 movies are great these people have been making nature movies for many years and they show and talk about the differences of what they see today ,

    compared with before

    They say whole migrations of millions of animals in the tundras have disappeared in just 5 years.

    And everywhere they go people talk about certain species not being there any more..

    thousands of species of frogs have gone ,world wide.

    this is very significant because they are indicators of pollution because their skin is very absorbent,and they are sensitive to environmental changes.

    the increase in water temperature will get faster all the time as well as the melting, when the ice is all gone the deeper cold Ocean currents will be drastically affected,which in turn will affect the warm currents,since all moving bodies of water are connected in series.

    This will affect coastal climates ,world wide ,almost instantly. All aquatic flora and fauna will be affected,many dying off and others becoming invasive,

    And recently In Chiapas ,and Tabasco in Mexico .more then a million people became homeless overnight with water coming up to their roofs ,because of rains from super evaporation from the forests,this had never happened before. Millions of animals died.

    In India 3000 people died because of super storms .

    .A few years ago in Europe 3500 people,died during a heat wave ,many of them in France .

    Right now the average death toll annually is 150.000 due to Global warming

    . these figures are already out of date and are expected to double soon.

    In Northern China millions of people are running for their lives because regular dust storms so far have buried 900 villages under the sand and the whole of northern China is turning into a dessert.

    The Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year all around the edges ,like a slow burning fire shriveling up their neighbors In the Kalahari huge rivers have dried up and thousand of species are gone due to their habitats disappearing .

    The biggest changes are invisible at micro biotic levels species are becoming extinct ,others are multiplying ,

    This affects the insect populations that follow ,and changes in that ,affect all that follows in the food chains ,

    in the last 300 years half of the planets forests have gone

    and in the last 50 years

    half of our wet lands ,rain forests and ice fields .and 3000 species of animals .

    We are now witnessing a mass Extinction of animals and plants of Biblical proportions,equal since the disappearance of the dinosaurs

    .

    Whole migrations of animals involving millions have disappeared in only 20 years,

    in one place in the tundras ,in just 5 years

    CHECK THE CLOCK FOR THE SPEED

    If we want to save ourselves as a specie ,we have to address

    the problems

    We can correct most of the destructive factors

    with disciplines ,changes of attitude and habits,alternative energies ,sustainable design etc.

    All species are in Danger eventually,and each is important because all of Life on this planet is interrelated even if it is not obvious

    Imagine that the Eco system is a wall and each specie is represented by a brick

    Every brick taken out weakens the wall ,and eventually it will collapse ,which brick is the most important ???

    they are all important and we are one of the bricks

  5. write about the blair witch

  6. "Melting permafrost has already forced the government of Alaska to cut  from 200 to 100 days the annual period during which oil and gas  equipment is permitted to travel on the tundra."

    <<U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon blames the ethnic and religious violence in Darfur on global warming and insists more conflicts of this kind are coming because of climate change.

    "The Darfur conflict began as an ecological crisis, arising at least in part from climate change," Ban said>>

    <<Greenland lost roughly 164 cubic miles of ice from April 2004 to April 2006 (more than the volume of water in Lake Erie), while the loss between 2002 to 2004 was of 57 cubic miles.>>

    Lake Erie volume: 116 cubic miles

    the energy that caused that ice melt is enough to raise the temperature of lake Erie from freezing, to boiling.

    AND IN ADDITION, COMPLETELY BOIL AWAY ABOUT 9 CUBIC MILES OF IT.

    That's warming, on a global scale.

    when that much ice melts, the temperature doesn't change.

    0 degree ice, and 0 degree water, are the same temperature.

    but what too many people don't realize is the implication of all the energy that the earth is absorbing, and storing.

    which will, in the fairly near future, become far more obvious, when there is insufficient ice remaining to absorb all that energy.

    then you'll see heating.
