Topic - Our Topic is Global Warming because it's a very important issue in our world and it's always all over the news. Our goal is to encourage people to start caring for the world and stop causing Global Warming. The Aztec Calendar says that the world will end on 12.21.12, and if we don't get the word out there to care for the environment, it will. We hope that this will encourage more people to do this.

Temperatures have never been so hot
Global Warming causes very strong storms because it causes more water to evaporate
Anything that is man-made is derived from oil, basically we use oil everyday!
People in Nigeria are dying because of the corrupt government in their country.
There are oils rigs in Nigeria and it pollutes their drinking water.
Shell was going to build a medical center in Nigeria and they have not finished because they're "worried about kidnapping".
The oil spills there kill fish so the oil pollutes the water which they now can't drink and it kills the fish so now they can't eat.
Oil has become the main source worth fighting for.
Why did the USA go to war with Iraq? O-i-l
People protested against the windmill farms because it ruins their view and they don't like the way they look.
Oil companies think that they are doing well to care for the environment.
People in France made a team to say NO to trucks and stop all this pointless transportation.

I got this picture about a Global Cluster from nasa.gov. I don't really know what it is but I just think it looks really cool. As you can see at the bottom of the red one it says VIS and on the bottom if the blue it says UV. I stil don't know what that means.

Yesterday in class we saw a movie that talked about coral reefs. The movie talked about coral reefs and how they are endangered. It had a group of people who were traveling to different coral reefs in the world. Coral reefs are found in the water and it is the home to many fish and plants. This is why it is very important to protect these coral reefs. If we stop caring and start damaging these coral reefs would just be a huge open space of land. The people in this movie think that these coral reefs could be endangered because of overfishing. Which means that if we could fish less we could stop damaging these coral reefs. I'm not saying that we should stop fishing but just fish less because that's how we are losing our fish living in the coral reefs. And not only are coral reefs beneficial to the fish and plants, but they are also beneficial to us. They are a lot like the rainforest this is also where we can also get our medicines from the coral reefs. So if these coral reefs are beneficial to us why shouldn't we care for it? Another way we can stop harming it is by not dumping stuff in the water anymore. Toxic waste kills the animals and kils the plants and it kills the whole coral reef. And as I say if we have no more coral reefs it will not be good for anybody. It kills the plants and kills all the other organisms and could also harm us.
