The conclusion
During the last eight weeks I have researching and blogging about everything I have learned about global warming. This has been a lot of fun for me because before this class I didn't know very much about this topic. Now that my research is completed I have formed my own conclusions that concern global warming. I feel that global warming is indeed real and could pose a serious threat to the future of our survival. Fortunately I also feel that we still have time to change this evolution from happening and if everyone did there part we could keep this thing from getting worse. We owe it to our future generations to keep this planet pristine for everyone to enjoy. We all call the Earth "our home" and it's time to take care of it.

Animals may be effected too!
As our planet continues to get warmer, not only are people going to be effected by global warming but animals as well are going to suffer from this disaster. Wildlife all over the world are going to become endangered or extinct if this trend continues to get worse. Unlike humans, animals are exposed to the elements a lot more and some of the research has all ready started to show negative signs.
Of course the Arctic will be devastated because the huge platues of ice in the poles are home to some of the most uniques animals in the world. The north pole is home to one of the world's largest land carnivores- the Polar bear. Polar bears are in a very unique predicament because of there dependency of the ice caps and as there habitat continues to melt away, the harder it is for them to survive. Also since the These animals can swim as far as sixty miles in search of food and now there is evidence that these bears can't make the swims between land and ice, they are drowning as a result.
In warmer regions of the world, animals are being effected just as well such as the Alligator in Florida. The largest inland lake in the United States is Lake Okeechobee in southern Florida and this lake has a large concentration of these reptiles. Unfortunately all the droughts that this region has endured during the last several years are being blamed on global warming. These droughts have led to the lake shrinking in size and a big problem with the population of the Alligators. It has become more frequent to see these creatures leaving the lake in search of another place to live, which ultimately puts them in harms way because they encounter people.
As you can see, global warming is now effecting not just people but animals as well. And it doesn't seem to matter if they are in warm or cold regions. More has to be done to help protect the
