Environment

This will be a relatively short blog, last week I talked about environmentalists and their reasons for protecting forests because it's really important to see their side of the story.

Climate change or global warming is a serious problem, and I find it to say the least irritating when people don't think so. We are trying to fix the problem but it's slow going because like I said people don't think it's a problem and two it's hard for everybody to do the same thing at the same time. Meaning that some countries are unwilling and unable (can't afford it) to change their policies.

Everything is connected almost like a vicious cycle, for example because of global warming it's causing the oceans temperature to rise 1-2 degrees Celsius and become more acydic. Now that doesn't seem like a lot but it can cause coral reefs to die which some species depend on, and with the increase of temperature it will kill other aquatic species. All sides need to be heard, and people really need to be willing to listen, unlike the video where the townspeople just walked out before hearing what the environmentalists had to say and then started yelling.
