Global Warming

        Today, we are going to talk about Global Warming. This is a serious issue that we need to deal with. We messed up this world and it is up to us to fix it. 

    Now, my teachers, parents, and role models always say that we can change the world and I do believe that but how can we change the world if we don't get the chance to change it. But we can - what I am about to say is probably really cheesy but it is true - if we really believe and band together. 

   Okay, so, one of the major changes that come with Global Warming is the temperature rising and that can be very dangerous because that affects the weather to which means more hurricanes, volcanoes, tsunami, and much more natural disasters. But we can help stop it. 

 Climate Change has happened constantly over the history of the Earth, including the coming and going of ice ages. Climate Change is different because people are putting Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere very quickly. 

  Green House Gases are part of the reason why this is happening... there is simply just too much of them. Water Vapor. The most abundant greenhouse gas, but importantly, it acts as a feedback to the climate. Water Vapor increases as the earth warms, but so does the possibility of clouds and precipitation, making these some of the most important feedback mechanisms to the greenhouse effect.  

Carbon Dioxide. A minor but very important component of the atmosphere, Carbon Dioxide is released through natural processes such as deforestation, land use changes, and burning fossil fuels. Humans have increased the atmosphere CO2 concentration by 48% since the industrial revolution began. This is the most important long - lived "forcing" of climate change.  

And a lot more of other Greenhouse gases this is affecting every day life for us. When we use electricity, plugging in devices, driving cars, and cooling homes, and also when we burn fossil fuels. We can chnage the world though.

first blog: starting out

 Okay I am not really used to this and I don't exactly know how to do this but I do know why I am doing it. Before I get into that, maybe I should tell you some stuff about me. First of all my name is Abby. K. I go to Rowe Middle School in Milwaukee, Oregon. I also feel like this blog is really important. I feel like it's important because we have real problems that need real solutions and we need to do what we can. 

The problems we are facing are stuff like: Global Warming, Homelessness, Wars, Food and water security, Lack of political freedom and political instability, Lack of education, Safety, security, and well being. woman rights (people may have changed it but it can still happen and it is.),  sexual harassment (may not seem like a big problem but it is), black lives matter, E.T.C. 

I care about this planet and I know a lot of people do but we are not taking care of it like we should. There are still wars, there are still broken people in the world, and there are still problems. But people - including myself sometimes - are too obsessed with themselves to wake up and notice that our world is in danger if we don't do anything. I know that is heavy to carry but the truth can be heavy. I may be a child but that doesn't mean that I don't know the problems and that I don't have the solutions. 

Maybe kids, tween's, young adults, teenagers, maybe even a four year old or six year old are what we need to fix this. The world is broken I am not gonna lie, and I know that a blog probably is more happy than this. This isn't about my life it is about all the 7.9 billion people in the world. I am sorry that this is not that happy but real life isn't always happy. 

I get if you don't want to read this because it might be depressing and it might not exactly be what you want to read but it is IMPORTANT! I guarantee that this will get you thinking and it will be important. Now, if you want to know more I will be posting and blogging at the end of or in the afternoon of saturday everyday. 

This is something that needs to be done, This is something that needs to end, and this is something that needs to stop! All of it, not just global warming, not just war, and not just black lives matter everything. And that may seem like a lot and it is but it is also worth it.

 So, if you care about this world and if you want to do better then you will continue reading this blog because it is extremely important that we take care of this world because it is the only one we've got and even if no one reads it I will keep posting because we have to do something and 0 reads lead to 1 which eventually lead to 10, which leads to 20, which leads to 50 and goes to 100 and up. 

Goodbye, Hopefully someone will read this and find it interesting.
