Global Warming & Green House Effect

Global warming is when the earth heats up. It happens when green house gases trap light and heat from the sun in the earths atmosphere, whitch causing the heat. This effects people, animals, and plants.
The green house effect is, the temperature rises because the suns heat and light is trapped in the earths atmosphere.
Global warming is affecting the world in many ways such as, making the sea and water rise on many low land areas. The water covers the plants whitch cause some to die. When they die, the animals loose a sourse of food, along with there habitat.

Fats into jet fuels...

New technology can turn any fat including mineral oil into fuel for jets without adding any gasoline products.
I think this is a good idea because it will keep our air clean and free of pollution. this will affect me and everyone i know in a good way because it will prevent pollution which will also help the environment and keep the world clean this will also save fuel that is used in jets and save money which is good for our economy. using the fats as fuel will also make society better because more flights can be made because of the save on fuel. And finally this will make the world a better place for our kids and the generations to come. altoghether this idea can make the planet a much better place.

Mild winters may shift spread of mosquito-borne illness

As you all know it has been a very mild winter this year and because of that, there was not much snow that fell so by there not being any snow there is going to be very little wash out.  in the past few years it has snowed quit a bit here in Saskatchewan and as spring came along and the snow melted and created little pools of water, in these little pools of water mosquito's migrated,and because there was so many little pools of water there was many mosquito's last year, because there was no snow this year there will be not very many mosquito's.  This fact will affect many people in a good way, there won't be a big need for spraying your self with half the can of mosquito spray when you go out for a walk.  it will also affect us and many animals too for example a bird dies that has a disease, a mosquito's comes along and sucks its blood  that mosquito is now carring the disease and if that mosquito bits you, you could get infected, because there are not going to be that many mosquito's there is a better Chance you will not get sick. this will affect me in because i would stink like mosquito spay.

packaged food maked girls hyper

scientists are finding out about a chemical that is dangerous to fetius, its name is bisphenol aka BPA, Why is it dangerous to un-born babies? its mainly because it resmebles the sex hormone estrogen, it harms health,   estrogen is known to be important in fetal brain development in rodents.what is it?  BPA is a component of the resins that line cans of food and the plastics in some food packaging and drink container, BPA doesn't affect adults because there brains are fully developed, it can only harm the fetius of a pregnant mother, the best way to avoid it is to reduce the exposure to this harmful chemical as much as possible.

Unprinted paper.

Engineers at the Carmbridge University, are developing a process that uses short laser pulses to vaporize words and images and effectively "unprint" used paper. The toner ink is heated until the point that it is virtually erased from the page, returning the most commonly used types of paper, carbon or plastic polymer, to a form in which they can be re-used. Researchers believe that the product could greatly reduce the enviroment impact caused by discarding and even recycling sheets.

Basket ball sized eyes help squids play defense.

 Giant and colossal squids have eyes as big as basketballs, and a Duke scientist thinks he knows why. "They're most likely using their huge eyes to spot and escape their predators, sperm whales," said Duke biologist Sonke Johnsen.To explain the squids' eye size, Johnsen and his collaborators first measured giant and colossal squid eyes using photos and captured animals. The squids eyes are much larger than the swordfish, even though they are about the same size. They use it for defense in low light conditions, the contrast in larger eyes is much better for low light, where squids are usually found.

Rising Ocean Temperatures Harm dilicate coral reefs

Do to rising ocean temperatures conservation zones know as marine protected areas provide many benefits to coral reefs and fisheries. But these zones haven't provided much protection from global warming.

coral reefs have been degrading for a few reasons including overfishing, sedimentation and rising ocean temperatures due to greenhouse gas emissions.Even slightly changing temperatures 1 degree to 2 degrees Fahrenheit  above normal summertime highs cal kill coral pylpus, which builld coral reefs.

This could devasate biodeversity in oceans and hurt the fishing industery. But on the up side
Previous research has shown that under optimal conditions, reefs in marine protected areas saw increases in coral cover of 1 percent or 2 percent per year.
