I could not attend a Focus the Nation event, and since I have seen the movie “An Inconvenient Truth”, I decided to research more on global warming and greenhouse gases. It was hard to find something new, but I did find three things.
1. Examples of things releasing carbon in the air are using cars, coal-fired power plants, and heating oil.
2. Carbon dioxide has increased 31 percent since the Industrial Revolution,
3. 137 countries have signed the Kyoto Protocol, but the United States has yet to sign.
To connect global warming to history is something that I think would be easy. I could show how the global temperature has fluctuated throughout history and talk about the Industrial Revolution and how it caused the spike in temperature in the last two hundred years. After going through all this, I could have the class talk about ways that we could fix the problem in our own way. Personally, I feel that global warming is a serious issue and needs to be combated swiftly in order to keep catastrophic events from happening.
