Artifact 2

I found out in this article something interesting about global warming, which I didn't know. I found out that global warming isn't just melting ice burgs and things of that nature, but global warming "will stifle life-giving microscopic plants that live in the surface layer of the oceans".

This is a serious problem, because it has the potential to greatly decrease marine food production. This can also accelerate climate changes according to a study published in the science journal Nature.

One of the microscopic marine plants that are being affected is called Phytoplankton. Phytoplankton is a major part of the marine food chain. That's not the only reason why they are important though. Phytoplankton also "takes more than 100 million tonnes of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere".

I feel people need to be more informed about the how serious the effects global warming has on our earth. I also feel that people need to put more effort into quitting their bad habits that cause global warming. I'm afraid by the time people realize how bad the effects of global warming can be, it will be to late. No matter what race, religion, or sex orientation you are, we all have one thing in common, that is we all share this earth. That's why I want to know is why people can't put aside their differences and work together to save our earth. I would also like to know is how I can help fight global warming and how we can cut back on global warming pollution.
