OR Blog #40: Today I read an article from The New York Times website called "Global Warming". This fits into the assigned topic of the day because it is a global issue, hence the name "global" warming. I think this is something we need to fix, and fast. Animals in the poles are dying because of the climate changes. Little baby polar bears are being separated form their parents and drowning. The article stated that there is likely to be a "rise between 3.5 and 8 degrees Fahrenheit if the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmoshpere reaches twice the level of 1750". I think we should outlaw hummers and make everyone drive hybrid cars. Another good idea is to power things by solar energy. The other day I saw a grocery store and it had solar panels on it's roof. Also, don't forget to recycle. In eighth grade I remember that one of our classes should us Al Gore's documentary "An Inconvenient Truth". Everyone should see this movie so they can be informed of what is happening to our climate. This is what I read for today's outside reading blog topic of a global issue.
