The effects of global warming create a growing danger for the ecosystem we live in.
Fountain, Henry. “Climate Change Is Accelerating, Bringing World ‘Dangerously Close’ to Irreversible Change.” The New York Times, The New York Times, 4 Dec. 2019, www.nytimes.com/2019/12/04/climate/climate-change-acceleration.html.
This article started off by saying how bad the natural disasters are in this world, then it stated that climate change is the worst thing that has ever happened to planet Earth. It also says that climate change is the cause for all of Earth’s natural disasters. Things are just going to keep getting worse unless we make a change. One step in the right direction is to get rid of fossil fuels in all industries. If we do not make a change soon cities could be underwater because the seawater is rising. If we do not make changes fast the effects of climate change will not be able to go back to how they once were. If we do not make a change the natural disasters will happen more often and be more deadly each time. Everything is getting warmer, even the ocean is as well. One reason why the seawater is rising is because the icebergs are melting because the atmosphere is too warm.

I will use the information that I obtained to get a point of view for what climate change has done to our planet. I will show how this could affect our everyday life because natural disasters will happen more often. I could also write about how some cities could be underwater in the future because the seawater is rising. I could also write about how the natural disasters are getting worse and that we need to make a change before the mistakes that we are doing now do not become permanent.
Rice, Doyle. “’Wine Is like the Canary in the Coal Mine.’ Climate Change Is Threatening Our Wine Supply.” USA Today, Gannett Satellite Information Network, 28 Jan. 2020, www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/01/27/wine-supply-threatened-climate-change-new-study-says/4590653002/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=amp&utm_campaign=speakable.
Because of climate change the best spots to make wine could shirk. If the temperature continues to rise most of the wine growing products will be gone. Climate change is affecting agriculture because the temperature is getting too warm for most of the plants to grow. Places where wine grows in warm areas will be affected, but in places where the wine grows in cold areas will not be affected. The quality of wine will go down if we do not fix climate change.
I can use the information to show how climate change is affecting the agriculture economy. It is affecting agriculture because it will make the quality of the plants not as good because it is not growing at its ideal temperature. That could lead to a loss of jobs and affect so many lives.
“The Dark Edges Of Climate Change.” RADIO ECOSHOCK | 91 Radio Stations and Growing!, www.ecoshock.org/2019/12/the-dark-edges-of-climate-change.html.
Over a million people are losing their homes every year because of climate change. Some of the reasons are because of natural disasters which are caused by climate change and they are becoming more powerful and happening more often. When people lose their homes they tend to stay in their country rather than come to America or Europe. They predict even more people will be affected by climate change in the future.
I can use the information that I obtained and write about how climate change is affecting the people. Climate change is causing millions of people to lose their homes because of man made mistakes. If not taken serious, even more people will lose their homes and it could lead to a bunch of chaos.
