Mr. Sybenga PD.7 Global warming The source I chose Is about the general effects of global warming. And I think it is a good source because it branches of and focuses on detail on smaller issues of global warming individually. Issues such as the weather, health, wildlife and how each of these would in turn be effected by global warming. The only problem with this source is that is was written in 2007. But I thought it would work since a lot of the facts written in it still apply today. A few examples of information given by this article are facts like how 225 people where killed because of severe heat wave or that the polar bears are drowning due to the decrease of ice. It also talks about the rising sea levels and glaciers. Here is the source: []

In the past recent years, major issues such as the rise in the number of hurricanes, droughts and other environmental problems has been blamed on Global warming. The general public of the world is becoming more educated on this issue. Hence more leaders of the world are trying to deal with issues. However some strategies that are used to deal with this issue may affect global politics and economies. Beautiful essay! I love the length and the amount of detail you used.

work of a genius. are you secretly e. e. cummings?

seriouslu...where did you learn to write like this?

Since global warming is a worldwide issue it is hard for scientist to come up with major plans that everyone would agree too. A great example of this issue is the Kyoto Protocol plan that took affect in February of 2005. Even though “one hundred forty one countries ratified the treaty The United States and Australia…did not.”(Kyoto Protocol takes Effect “the Nature conservancy”) After refusing to ratify the Kyoto protocol both US and Australia came under attack from many different sources both foreign and domestic. Yet there also where many who defended these countries choice in refusing the Protocol; such as Maslin Mark who wrote the book __Global Warming: A very Short Introduction__ and in this book he pointed out that the “flaw in the Kyoto Protocol, according to many, is that it does not go far enough…hence it is suggested that the Kyoto Protocol; will do nothing to prevent global warming.” This is one of the reasons why the US has decided not to ratify the Kyoto Protocol. While different countries governments are trying to find plans to ratify without displeasing their voters. Many people (mostly big business owners) have come to question the seriousness of global warming. Lomborg, Bjorn wrote in the book __The skeptical Environmentalist measuring the real state of the world__ that “we have grown to believe that we are forced with an in escapable choice between higher economic welfare and greener environment” Lomborg statement, informing the reader of his doubt about global warming may be the most civil statement out there. Considering that at times global warming has been called a flat out myth. But as seen on the graph of Source B ocean water temperature has been on a fast and steady rise for the past 150 years. Spring has been coming sooner by at least 10 days atleast world wide and many biologists worry that this means “that the global environment is changing so fast that the slow evolutionary process of species adaptation can’t keep up.” This means that many animals are at the risk of extinction. Global warming effects all of us and we as a planet should come together to help solve those problem before it turns into a catastrophic event. Unfortunately People are using countries reaction to global warming to speculate about world leaders and their priorities. Mark Maslin Speculated in his book that the reason as to why the US did not sign the Kyoto protocol might have been because “they would have to cut their emissions by over a third, Which successive Presidents have seen as a direct threat to the Economy and the chances of re-election”( source E)
 *  In conclusion a nations leader should think of the countries economy and its peoples opinion as well as other nations plans; But the should take action even if it has opposition. ﻿ **
