OLD MEMORIE
I remember when I went to the United States for the first time, arriving, everything seemed very different to what
is Mexico, the people, the food, the air, the streets, the houses,
everything. I was about 8 years old, and what I remember and
I will never forget what was visiting Disneyland, we had come a long way and when we were arriving there, it definitely was a dream, seeing all these rides, the flowers that adorned the
park, the people I saw at that time, of such different characteristics, it was
like a dream. I wanted to get on all games. Upon entering the dolls' house, I didn't want to leave, or when I met Mickey Mouse and he gaves me an autograph, was awesome. We had breakfast, lunch and we leave the park at night after watching the parade and fireworks that were decorated the sky. Undoubtedly, it was
a great day !

CLIMATE CHANGE
CAUSES AND EFFECTS
Global Warming Cause: Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning
power plants.
Our ever increasing
addiction to electricity from coal burning power plants releases enormous
amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Global Warming Cause:
Carbon dioxide emissions from burning gasoline for transportation
With our population
growing at an alarming rate, the demand for more cars and consumer goods means
that we are increasing the use of fossil fuels for transportation and
manufacturing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Global Warming Cause: Deforestation, especially tropical forests for
wood, pulp, and farmland.
Forests remove and
store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and this deforestation releases large
amounts of carbon, as well as reducing the amount of carbon capture on the
planet.
Global Warming Cause:
Increase in usage of chemical fertilizers on croplands.
High nitrate levels in
groundwater due to over-fertilization are cause for concern for human health.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Global Warming Cause: Methane emissions from animals, agriculture such as rice paddies, and from Arctic seabeds
Methane is another extremely potent greenhouse gas, ranking right behind
CO2. When organic matter is broken down by bacteria under oxygen-starved
conditions (anaerobic decomposition) as in rice paddies, methane is produced.
The process also takes place in the intestines of herbivorous animals, and with
the increase in the amount of concentrated livestock production, the levels of
methane released into the atmosphere is increasing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Global Warming Effect: Rise in sea levels worldwide
Many nations around the world will experience the effects of rising sea levels, which could displace millions of people
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The bleaching of corals from small but prolonged rises in sea
temperature is a severe danger for ocean ecosystems, and many other species in
the oceans rely on coral reefs for their survival.
Global Warming
Effect: More killer storms
The severity of storms such as
hurricanes and cyclones is increasing
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Global Warming
Effect: Massive crop failures
According to recent research, there is a 90%
chance that 3 billion people worldwide will have to choose between moving their
families to milder climes and going hungry due to climate change within
100 years.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Global Warming
Effect: Disappearance of coral reefs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Global Warming
Effect: Widespread extinction of species
According to research published in Nature, by 2050, rising
temperatures could lead to the extinction of more than a million species. And
because we can’t exist without a diverse population of species on Earth, this
is scary news for humans.
