Global Warming

Global warming has been a concerning issue for years. There is great changes in the weather that is effects us greatly because it causes disasters in areas where we live. It also threatens animal species as well causing many to become endangered because of this. Greenhouse gases which produce fossil fuels are a main cause of global warming. 
In Colombia rising temperatures and unpredictable rainfall has caused a drop in coffee production. Coffee specialist Peter Baker said ''Coffee production is under threat from global warming, and the outlook for Arabica in particular is not good." Shortage of coffee beans especially Arabica beans have been effecting us New Yorkers as well because not. only is there a shortage but because of it coffee prices have been going up. I am a big fan of coffee and half of New York depends on coffee to get through their day. 
Global warming is also effecting our Naval Forces. It is going to start causing problems in the sea service as said in the New York Times. It was also said that frequent severe storms and droughts that could lead to famine, mass migration and political instability. Climate change is unpredictable and I think that people should do more about it because in reality we are partially a cause in global warming. Pollution is one way in which global warming is increasing. A simple step like not using hair spray that sprays straight can do some good to the environment because it was said that that is a way in which global warming increases because it pollutes the air. 
We the people are the cause of global warming. We cause all the pollution and I think that we owe it to our environment to try and help. Reduce, reuse, recycle is a way in which we can all help. What we do effects everything. A simple thing like throwing a can into the ocean can kill many animals in the ocean. Global warming also is the cause for many animals to become endangered like the Polar Bear. If we all contribute to the environment we can try and reduce global warming.

  1. I agree with you we are the cause of global warming. I don't think people would change because we need to use hair spray and other things that harm the environment. We need all the that but we can definitely try to change. We should all pass this information to everyone by just cleaning and doing little things we can make a huge difference and help out for the future.

  2. I completely agree with you, something definitely has to be done. Doing little things is not even enough anymore, but still is a help. I think that people will not change because they haven't been effected by Global Warming yet, only the environment and the animals have. Once people will get effected, they will start doing something about it.
