States suing EPA over Global warming

The U.S. got really mad at the EPA because they were supposed to answer a file stating whether they should regulate greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide and when asked about it they had decided nothing.  They were asked to give their opinion in 60 days.  The chairman of the EPA when asked said “We will review the petition and respong appropriately.”

Some researchers see no link between Global warming and Hurricane Activity

This article is showing that all the hurricanes that have been happening are not being caused by global warming like some rumors that are going around.  Chelsea Landsea is a scientistist at the National Hurricane Center says that global warming is not having an effect on the hurricanes.  Landsea – “there is no conclusive evidence that global warming has significantly enhanced or otherwise affected the number or intensity of hurricanes.”

With Climate Change comes floods

Summary – This article is saying that when the temperature in a certain climate changes to a higher temperature, it is more likely for a flood to occur.  One reason why this would occur is because when the temperature rises so does the sea level because water expands when it gets warmer. Because of the rising sea level, bigger storm surges are more likely.

Response – I think that if this is all true then that sucks because I don’t want to be flooded.  But at least I don’t live on a coast or anything like that so I have a pretty good chance of not getting flooded.  I hope for all our sake that they are exaggerating.

Penguins Helped and Hurt by changing climate

Summary – A man named David Ainley studies Adelies penguins.  He is one of the most respected penguin researchers in the world.  He tries to see how global warming is effecting these penguin colony’s environment.  He put computer chips into each penguin so he could keep track of things for each penguin to make his decision.  He also talks about how a glacier at one penguin colony was melting and ruining their nests, washing away their eggs.  He speaks highly of the penguins and he wants to help them so that global warming will not harm them anymore.

Response – I thought this story was interesting I did not mind learning about penguins and their way of life.  I think that it’s horrible that global warming is effecting them so negatively.  I don’t like to think of that because I know I don’t do the things I could do to reduce global warming
