Arlette F. 2010 The age of stupid notes
Notes:
Before there used to be normal weather, not weather as hot as the one today-in the mountains-now they have added more stairs to the glaciers/mountains because of global warming. It has melted and that's what causes it. They had to built more steps because the glacier has shrinked down-cause of global warming. --- Global warming causes all these storms and bad weather, because of water evaporation. --- Green house gases have raised up to a record in the world, they are so high---- in 9 months they were able to remake their oil rigs, but now five years later, they can't---- they say that they can find fossils in the rock so that means that they can also get oil from those rocks.----- lots of people -20 billion pounds of oil or that in a year----people now a day are wasting a lot of oil, and can't leave any for the future generations----- anything that doesn't come in nature- then they are not man made, that means its dried from oil-transportation can also cause some of the problems-transportation will also need oil,,- there water isn't clean, so the water they have is dirty and it is making them sick with thysus or some other diseases, they also haven't made the hospital yet because of the things that thye can't have. they also have to wash their fish with omo to disinfect it. It is expensive to sell and transport somewhere else so they just burn it some of it is used for the cooking in nigeria.-dangerous to transport.they are only burning the oil and the people in nigeria keep on breathing in this smoke and they get more sick with lunsg and things like that. in odiama village there was a building there and prrbbly the government wanted to build more of that, prbbly a factory but the people there of the village probably didn't want to so then the military people came started to shoot people and burn down the place-actually the people of the village did it. Some people hid in the forest. Some people are trying to save the oil. A lady send a picture of a man getting shot, probably they are going to threaten them or something bad was was going to happen. Some people want to stop the wind racket, so they said no they are still going to keep it on. they think that it will be causing. This lady says that she cares for global warming and she used to be against it.

When I look at this picture I think of the sky, stars and the woods. What describes this picture is the shine of the stars, the beautiful trees and last the wonderful smoke that shines thru the sky.
What makes me be attracted to the picture is the theme, it makes me feel like if I once was in the woods with the beautiful stars cooking dinner and the smell wondering thru the woods. That's all I have to say about this picture.

Macgillivray Freeman's Coral Reef Adventure
What are Coral Reefs? "Hm mm" Let me think about it, what are they? Lots of people don't know what coral reefs are. Now let me tell you all about them!
-What is a Coral Reef and where is it found?
Coral Reefs are animals that are Endangered and live under the ocean.
-Are Coral Reefs in danger? - What is harming them?
Ocean Warming is the #1 reason why coral reefs are in danger.
Coral Reefs are in danger. They are being harmed by Salutation, Pollution and Overfishing.
-What can we do to prevent destruction of Coral Reefs?
There is Lot's of ideas and ways that we can prevent the destruction of Coral Reefs. One of the main ones is to overcome overfishing, we can do that by moving animals that live in the ocean to a better place for them. That way if that happens we can probably let the Coral Reefs live happily and healthy.
Another Idea that could be possible to happen that can help prevent destruction of Coral Reefs would be to stop pollution, specially water pollution because that is what harms the ocean animals and their habitats.
-How are Coral Reefs beneficial to the Earth?
Coral Reefs are beneficial to Earth by them giving us the air that we breath.
Another reason why coral reefs are important to the earth is because they help the earth protect tropical homes.

Endangered Species
In the film that I just watched there were Lot's of things that I learned, that I never knew before. Well I did know but didn't know or was sure that it was happening in our world.
The film was about Endangered Species. All animals are poaching in the world. They are
poaching because of the Natural Resources that are happening to the world, some animals are used/endangered by selling or using their skin. Mostly all animals are endangered by people killing them and using their body to for use of making things. One of the 2 animals that are being used to sell or used for converting into something else are the Elephants and the amur leopard. The Elephants are being killed, by cutting off their tusks and making them into something else. The other animal is the amur leopard, they take off it's skin or fur to make it into something else.
Not all animals are being extincted by that, some of them are endangered by the natural resources that are happening to the world for example some of them are Polar Bears the reason why they are in danger is because Global Warming is causing the ice and their houses to melt down, if there's no ice then how are the Polar Bears going to live? they are going to die.
Everybody should spread the word and help save the Species that are endangered, us we need animals for some medicines and they need us as we use them too. Remember that Human Population also affects what's happening to the animals too. Help us save the Endangered Species!!.
