  10. I think that our biggest concern is Global warming. the ice caps over the years are just melting creating to much water and places to be over flooded and alos there is no place for the polar bears to live. The issue is only getting worse.

  16. our biggest concern is the air quality of earth, it kills wildlife and animals every year.

  17. Global warming is an important concern. It not only effects humans but also wildlife. It's something that does not get that much attention too. Things that we can do to preven it is recycle and use energy efficient products. I also agree with Becca that air quality is an important issue too because it effects how we live.

  18. My biggest concern on this topic is global warming, Global warming is a very serious issue and needs to be stopped, it harms our enviorment, wild life, and every day human life.

  19. My biggest concern teh air pollution. its a concern becasue i dont want to be breathing in dirty air and in the case its possible to get sick because of it. It's hard to fix this problem but im sure throughout time conclusions will come up and teh problem will be fixed.

  20. One of my biggest concerns is global warming. Polar bears could become extinct soon because the ice they live on is melting, and if all that ice melts it will flood most coastal cities in the world. People can use more environmentally safe products and recycle.

  21. Climate change is an important issue. I learned that average temperature per year has increased by 1 degree celcius. We can combat this by using environmentally friendly products and recycling, like Emily said.

  22. Global warming is a big problem becuase the ice caps regulate the seas. If they disappear not only would we face extiniction of multable wild life but the weather will probly get wrost and the sea level will rise. Causeing tsumanmes.

  23. After watching the videos, I would have to say that climate change is my biggest concern. If we don't change the ways we live fast the world will keep breaking down as the temperature increases. Using clean energy and recycling are two ways to help stop climate change, and I agre with Greg and Emily.

  24. my biggest concern is food. and people can donate food for the poors. and i agree with lennie

  25. The biggest area of my concern is the climate change. Most people don't believe it's actually happening because they assume global warming literally means the climate will get warmer. Instead the seasons become more dramatic. One thing that can be done about it is using solar, wind, or water energy. As well as using more organic chemicals to reduce pollution. I agree with Caitlan Toste on recycling.

  26. My biggest concern is climate change because the climate affects everything makes the ice melt in iceland and it could change the farmland and farmers would have the right soil to harvest food.

  27. My biggest concern is all of the immigration that's going on in the world as a result of poverty. It really makes me think to know that some peoples' lives are so terrible that they would actually try to enter a new country illegally. Larger countries with a stronger economy such as the United States and China should hold charities and fund raisers to help build things like hospitals and schools for these countries.

  28. After taking the global trends quiz I realized I don't know a lot about them. I learned some new information after and saw how different parts of the world are much diferent from the US.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I was surprised by some of the answers in the quiz, like that China is the largest producer and consumer of coal. I would have thought that would be the USA.

  30. After taking the global trends quiz I wasn't suprised the the US was the largest consumer of goods and food, I was surprised though that we consumed more than the bottom 127 countries combined.

  36. With the way the climate is changing, and the growing scarcity of water and land as opposed to the ever growing Earth population, we are due in for a great cataclysm, unless we do something about it.

  37. i worried about animal extinction and climet change i dont think the two are so different and i think that if the climet keeps changing something bad is going to happen soon i agree with lansing

  38. What if one day we run out of air on earth?!!!! (Well I guess that sounds pretty silly...) But what if we pollute the air so much that one day we cant use it?!! We definitely wont be able to move to the moon....

  39. My biggest area of concern is nuclear war.i agree with nick on animal extintion

    ReplyDelete
  40. Climate change is an important issue because over time, it will affect our life and we will have to adapt to the new temperature. Pollution could go along with it too because depending on the chemicals/products that are being 'polluted' into the air.

  46. Global warming is a big concern. They say that the climate affects us and the animals. The ice starts to melt it will cause the earth plates to shift.

  47. my biggest concerns are air and climate change, as we pollute the air, people who have had no trouble with their lungs are getting cancer, more cases of asthma are reported every year. And climate change, thats a huge deal, greenhouse gases are causing the earths average temperature to rise, the hole in the ozone layer was caused by humans as a whole, polar bears may actually go extinct, global warming is melting the ice in antarctica and the arctic circle. That ice melting is causing water levels to rise and the ocean temperature to rise. Humans as a whole are destroying the world and it is going to reach a point where we can't reverse it. Steps must be taken now to stop and fix the damage to the earth.
