global warming

Topic: Global Warming is the most significative envariomental problem facing us.

source 1.-

We are the cause.

We are overloading our atmosphere with carbon dioxide, which traps heat and steadily drives up the planet’s temperature. Where does all this carbon come from? Thefossil fuels we burn for energy — coal, natural gas, and oil — plus the loss of forests due to deforestation, especially in the tropics.

The scientific evidence is clear.

Within the scientific community, there is no debate: An overwhelming majority of climate scientists agree that global warming is happening and that human activity is the primary cause.

This broad consensus — and the extensive scientific evidence that supports it — is often downplayed or distorted by a small but vocal minority of special interests that have a vested interest in delaying action on climate change.

Today, because of greenhouse gas pollution, the planet is heating up at a much faster rate than ever before and our oceans are becoming more acidic. Temperature rises can appear small, but small increases translate into big changes for the world’s climate and natural environment.

Hotter days, more severe storms, floods, snowfalls, droughts, fire and higher sea levels are expected in the foreseeable future. These changes threaten jobs, agricultural production, water supplies, industries, human lives and, ultimately, the survival of species and entire ecosystems. Scientists predict that a global temperature rise of close to 2°C (above pre-industrial levels) could result in 25% of the Earth’s animals and plants disappearing because they can’t adapt fast enough.

In less than 100 years, average temperatures on Earth have already warmed by 0.74°C¹, and by around 1°C in Australia². The ten warmest years on record have all occurred since 1998³.

Scientists attribute recent temperature rises and ocean acidification to human activities like burning coal and oil, and clearing forests. These activities lead to greenhouse gases being released in to the atmosphere at such levels that they exceed natural concentrations and become pollutants.

Why is global warming a problem?

By Holli RiebeekJuly 6, 2010

The cost and benefits of global warming will vary greatly from area to area. For moderate climate change, the balance can be difficult to assess. But the larger the change in climate, the more negative the consequences will become. Global warming will probably make life harder, not easier, for most people. This is mainly because we have already built enormous infrastructure based on the climate we now have.

People in some temperate zones may benefit from milder winters, more abundant rainfall, and expanding crop production zones. But people in other areas will suffer from increased heat waves, coastal erosion, rising sea level, more erratic rainfall, and droughts.

news script

hello  I am José Tomás Lecourant and welcome to The Mackay School news.Today i would like to inform you about the interhouse challenge that took place last Friday at the school.

was very interesting, the interhouse was about penalties, this year the house captain took the important decision to chose which student would throw the penalty for each category and only 1 goalkeeper to save all the shots , the team to score more goals would win, this time Somerscales house captain took the better decision and with only one miss penalty Somersacles win this 2nd interhouse challenge of the year.

letter of protest

Mr minister of transporting

I am writing to protest against the increase of the gas tax in all the country, I know that this increase will became  a reality at the end of the present year, these increase will be about a 20% more that what we were paying.

I am very worried about that there is so many people that was a car but they have to pay for these gas tax, I think that these increase will became a huge problem for this people and theirs families cause they will have to stop using his personal car and star using more public transport or have to stop buying unessential things or save money that could be used for other things to use their cars, which would be a great benefit to the country, but people with cars would be disadvantaged but it would not be a benefit for all, only for people without cars or high class people who would suffer to much.

its important to recognize that these will affect more people than people will be benefit, and that's a point to highlight  cause the state have to do these to help people lives not to make it more difficult.

please do every in your power to stop these tax increase that will affect a huge part of the country, and if you cant there is a large group of people who are already organizing a mass protest in front of "la moneda".

I look forward to your response.

your sincerely,

Jose Tomas Lecourant.

rally (70-100)

Rally (70-100)

Next may 20, with all the people who are against the 20% tax increase to gasoline.

We will get together at Plaza Italia at 11 o'clock and we will discuss about going to protest at La Moneda or only write letters of protest. We need a massive attendance cause in this rally we will do a votation so all people have the opportunity to give their opinion.

We will be waiting for your participation and remember, every opinion counts!

It Was a shiny day in mexico/city of mexico and johnny deep was doing his normal round as a burger seller he was cooking a burger when he notified that at the other side of the street it was a giant bag, he went to see what was in it, and when he saw he surprised because in the bag there was money, a lot of money in total there was 5.000.000$ dollars, he spent all the weekend counting it.

He spent all day asking people if the bag was theirs, but nobody asked or they said that the bag was their but they didn't know how much money was inside so he didn't pass the money to they, he spent one week waiting for someone who asked for the bag but nobody want it.

Finally he realized that no one will come to ask for the bag, he realized if no one comes for the bag the bag will became yours he eas so happy that he goes to the local car store and he do what any person will do, he buy a Lamborghini made of  100% gold whit diamonds incrustations. He was finally happy but he realized he will have to work more to pay de gas for the car.
