Global Warming

Most everyone knows what global warming is, but here is a comprehendable explanation for those who don't know. The solar radiation that comes from the sun in the form of lightwaves which go toward the Earth and is what keeps the Earth warm by passing through the atmosphere. Most of the radiation is then absorbed by the Earth. Some of the energy re-radiates back into space off of the earth in the form of infared waves. Some of the infared radiation is being trapped in the earths atmosphere, some is good because it keeps us warm and helps the temperature stay at a constant leverl, but this is being thickend where more of the outgoing infared is trapped and is caused by our carbon dioxide emmision and contribution to pollution. A great way Al Gore explained global warming in his video "An Inconvenient Truth" was with this video:
Global warming is such a huge issue and we as human beings contribute so much to this issue. I hope this gets you thinking about how your affecting the earth.

Presentation Time

On Monday our project is due, which means Ali and I have to get ready ro present. It's amazing how fast teh time has flown by us as we have been working. So far it has been a lot of work getting to this point. We have been making/ designing t-shirts, doing a lot of planning of goals and things to do, researching, making a website and slowly putting parts of this puzzle together. Amazingly enough, it has actually been going well! On this Wednesday Ali and I have a meeting in Berkley with a professional web graphic designer who is going to help to make ou website more professional looking, which is so exciting. Ali has been using her resources and has been also talking to someome who works for MTV and Nickelodean who is interested in our project. We are hoping we can get far and raise awarness, and so far this has been going better than planned. As long as we don't blow our school presentation, which we are being graded on, then everything will be perfect!

Beat the heat,
