 * One thing I wanna tell you about and that is Ozone :is almost like the oxygen we breathe. Ozone is found everywhere in our atmosphere, but in different amounts. High in the earth's atmosphere -above where most planes fly-is the ozone layer where most of the earth's ozone is found . This causes the atmosphere to warm and help trap dangerous ultra violet rays from the sun. **

 * summary of carbon dioxide: **
 * Do you wanna know about carbon dioxide and how it is causing problems with the earth and climate change, if so you should keep reading. In a paper that was published November 21st of Nature Geoscience.Guess what the authors foun, they found that despite the majorfinancial crisis that hit the world last year...Global CO2 **
 * emissions from the burning fossil fuel in 2009 were only 1.3% below the record 2008 figures. The poor improvements in carbon intensity were caused by an increased share of fossil fuel CO2 emissions produced by emerging economies with a high carbon intensity. There was also an increasing reliance on coal. **
 * Personally I think that CO2 is a big problem in the world, especially in the United States. I also think that everybody should take a part in trying to help clean up the problem so that we all have a fair job. Also you do know that people don't just tell you about these things for you JUST to read, they put it on the internet to get you thinking about what is gonna happen in the world soon. And also because they want people to do something to save the whole world. **

 * I was reading about the ocean and the organisms that live in the ocean. Well as I was reading, I was reading about these hydrothermal vents which happen to produce temperatures that are released into the ocean at 300oF. Not only is that surprising, but how would you think animals could live at this temperature. **
 * My thoughts on this article: I thought that the article was interesting to read personally because I learned new stuff. Also whan I read I was thinking to myself "How do such animals live in that hot of a temperature." When I finished the article I wanted to read another article about the same thing. **** W **** ell that is all I can say. **
 * [] **
 * **** As I was reading and watching a commercial there was a polar bear and a concern of global warming which we need to stop because it could possibly flood the world. So besides that I had some thoughts on the commercial and article, and they are that I think we should try to spread the word about global warming and what could possibly be the future. And SOMEHOW MAYBE TRY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT TO MAKE A CHANGE IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! **
 * We are cutting down the Giant Panda's habitat down and we are not doing anything about it. We can help bring them off of the endangered species list by growing trees and other plants to create a forest for the Giant Pandas to live in. **
