                                      The energy Crisis 

 
We've seen some pretty incredible things blamed on Global Warming over the years, ranging from hurricanes, tornadoes and blizzards to earthquakes and plunging penguin populations.


President Obama has put salvation from dreaded climate catastrophes on his action agenda hot list.  he said at one of his speeches : “We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations.” He went on to shame anyone who disagrees with this assessment, saying, “Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires and crippling drought and powerful storms.

Governments, and people are behind this climate change, I don't agree with the global warning story , but i recognize that we have to put red flags , because we are going throw a bad environmental situation .  It is natural to assume that if people do not accept the science of climate change, because they do not understand it, or perhaps need to know more about it.
Certainly it is true that someone who knows very little about climate change is unlikely to care a great deal about its consequences so it is important that the facts about climate change are widely known and readily available.

Whether its about the Global warming which is  the accelerated warming of Earth due to an increase in greenhouse gases, particularly from the burning of fossil fuels, or Climate change which is the natural change in global temperatures over time. More specifically, a change in Earth's energy budget can result in both increases and decreases in global temperatures. we should stand up and  do something to stop this . 

"The Earth is getting warmer, but it’s too much of a leap to say that human beings are the reason. There are plenty of natural climate cycles and I believe in being skeptical " that was a conservative view , Fair enough. But this is science, and skepticism has to come within the framework of what we already understand. The scientific method does not simply mean coming up with an idea, or hypothesis, and testing it to see if it is true.
Hypotheses are supposed to be based on our existing body of understanding , based on our current theory. These get tested before wilder and crazier ideas. We don’t just leap to testing whether aliens are using the planet as a dump for the heat from their warp drives. 

Humans ,and government actions are the major cause behind this big change. Recognizing this does not force anyone to oppose pipelines, support a carbon tax, or start composting and wearing hemp shoes. It just opens us up to start aiming our fiery furnace of a political system at actually solving our problems. 


Anyone can go ahead, argue that the economic cost of anti-greenhouse measures doesn't justify the benefit, especially if the planet is getting too hot. Argue that we should look for technical solutions not only to reduce carbon dioxide and methane emissions . at the end humans activities affect a large climate change , true they are not the only suspects ,The climate has changed throughout the Earth’s history, well before humans evolved.

Here some facts;  When humans burn gasoline, coal, natural gas, and other common fuels to make electricity or drive cars, they release a substantial amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. For every gallon (or liter) of gasoline your car burns, 1300 times that volume of CO2 is released (a gallon of gas weighs about 6 pounds or 2.8 kilograms, but the released CO2 would weigh over 19 pounds or 8.75 kilograms).

 in the other side Republican says that other issue such as war, taxes, and other things come before the idea of global warming, but far-right-Republicans believe that global warming is false and is an idea all about money for Democrats to raise taxes, and make people pay more. also a lot of Americans don't believe in climate change ,and its because of a lot of facts .


PsychologicalThe consequences of climate change are too awful to contemplate. Therefore, we're denying the issue, as we used to deny monsters in the room by hiding under the blanket. If you don't look at it, it can't look at you.

Economic: The costs of a large-scale effort to fight global warming are too steep to bear. Therefore, we're trying to ignore the issue, or pretending it doesn't exist, or we believe that the economy (including development) is more important.


Political: The fact that Democrats are always hammering on about climate change and Republicans aren't suggests that this is a political issue, not a scientific one. This creates a feedback loop: if climate change were real, why is it so polarizing? Because it's so polarizing, it must be slightly suspicious.

overall , if we want believe it or not , we are leaving in a bad situation today . the main contributor of climate change is us . We should take our responsibility,and try to find solution instead of blaming outsources. Maybe changing our behaviors ,and taking this serious might minimize the problem side affect . By controlling our day to day life , we can save what is left in the earth. these number are a huge facts about our activities affects.

  1. 4% of carbon emissions come from industrial processes
  2.  7% come from agriculture – for example methane emissions from livestock and manure, and nitrous oxide emissions from chemical fertilizers
  3. 21% carbon emissions from transport 
  4. 65% come from the use of fuel to generate energy (excluding transport)
  5. About 40% of carbon emissions in the state are the result of decisions taken directly by individuals. The biggest sources of emissions for most people are likely to be
* energy use in the home (the main use is heating) * driving a car* air travel



There other elements of  people's homes that contribute to climate change indirectly. Everything, from furniture to computers, from clothes to carpets, all use energy when it is produced and transported – and this causes carbon emissions to be released.



Being pro-planet is being pro-life. Saving this earth for the next generation is a responsibility of all of us . Lets take a moment and think about this earth that gave us ,and still giving us everything .

  1. Jalila,

    Well researched blog! Your writing is excellent and your opinions are aptly supported by strong facts and figures. Great work! I also like the design. Your pictures and video are great.

    There are a few grammar mistakes here and there that can be worked on. For instance, always make sure that the first work in each sentence is capitalized. Take a second look at your draft before posting, so you can catch and fix these simple mistakes.

    Also, your paragraphs need to be organized. You go back and forth between liberal and conservative arguments. Try to keep all of the conservative arguments together and all of the liberal/environmental views together. Then, at the end, you include a clearly defined paragraph that has your analysis.

    You've written an excellent post. It just needs to be organized, so that your readers can stay on track.

    You've gone above and beyond crafting this piece. Your writing skills are very impressive, and I enjoy reading your phrases and examples. Very creative. Very sharp.

    Let's get it organized, and your posts will be near perfect!
