9 benefits of recycling | Friends of the Earth - 4 views

  •  
    This article states the benefits of recycling. Although this isn't quite directed into laying directly into an issue, it's laying out the foundation on how to prevent future issues. The Earth is currently unsustainable for how much waste the human population creates right now, and one large way to help reduce one's footprint on Earth is to use bio products, and recycle.

    Recycling is a huge thing right now that everyone needs to start doing if we want to save the world. I wish more people would hop on board and realize how much danger the earth is in.
  •  
    I think this website is great because it's well organized and it explains the benefits in a good way
  •  
    Everyone should recycle! Not only as a "save our planet" kind of rant but to save ourselves as well. Don't you want to live in a clean environment. These 9 benefits should open your eyes.
  •  
    I agree that recycling is very important because when trash covers the ground, it takes away from the beauty of the earth. We need to take better care of this planet because when we do we also take better care of ourselves.
  •  
    This is a neat article as I did not know many of these things. It's awesome that more and more people are getting behind this save the earth movement.

North Dakota Pipeline draws controversy, social justice concerns - 1 views

  •  
    This article is mostly a run down on the basic information regarding the protest at Standing Rock. It also shows how important the land is and what the pipeline could damage.
  • ...1 more comment...
  •  
    This article does go into detail a bit more than the news covers. I also wonder since POTUS has started renegotiating the pipeline, what will happen with the protesters this time? Hopefully, they will find an alternative route not so close to the land in question.
  •  
    Thank you for sharing this. I had heard the the pipeline was going through now and wanted to read more information on this.
  •  
    Good information on this.

Donald Trump and the Triumph of Climate Denial - 1 views

  •  
    Our progress with climate change risk being overturned. A lot of people including our president don't believe in the science of global warming.
  • ...3 more comments...
  •  
    I am so desperate and angry that I wish Mother Nature did something to wake those people up. Maybe a massive earthquake or tsunami will show them how bad of the current state our planet is in.
  •  
    How do you explain the duality of scientific evidence logically pertaining to the results of meta studies both proving and disproving climate change effects and signs?
  •  
    dal2124240, you don't when it pertains to our newly elected administration.
  •  
    Again I will ask how do you personally explain the duality of scientific evidence? The last time I check the currently elected administration is not taking English 102 or 101, sharing fact based articles or an attempt there unto pertaining. How do you personally defend your argument against the duality of scientific research; That in the last 30 years the atmosphere over the Antarctic has repaired itself over 150,000,000 square miles despite the increase of carbon emissions?
  •  
    http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/. Here you go Dalton. Now, may I ask where you got your "evidence based fact" from, and do you have anymore from any reputable sources?

Sea Level Rise - 2 views

  •  
    Why are ocean levels getting higher and what can we do to stop it? This article talks about the consequences if ocean levels keep on rising at this speed. It's impossible to stop something like this but we can still do something to slow it down.

    How is sea levels rising a social injustice?
  •  
    Sea levels itself is not a social injustice, but climate change is. Sea levels are a result of climate change. This is a informative article on how are earth is changing as a result of climate change.
  •  
    Not sea level, but how it connects to the climate change is a social justice issue.

The Great Barrier Reef is dying - The Washington Post - 1 views

  •  
    This summary discusses the killing of the Great Barrier Reef at the hand of humans. Temperature increases are introducing coral reefs to disease and death from lack of algae. The Trump administration has cut funds severely to the Environmental Protection Agency and the Natural Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Talk of the U.S being withdrawn from the Paris climate deal have been discussed as well.
  •  
    If the United States decides to pull out of the Paris climate deal, I believe that we will be to blame for the state our planet is in. Our country is driven by consumerism, causing mothers to follow in our footsteps. If we can step in the right direction toward a clean, green society, we can then start to tackle climate change.

We Don't Deny Harvey, So Why Deny Climate Change? - The New York Times - 2 views

  •  
    This article talks about how climate change is the reason for hurricane Harvey. Scientist predicted that this hurricane was going to happen. He also gives examples of climate change and the first steps to help it not to get worse.
  • ...1 more comment...
  •  
    It honestly baffles me that people do not believe in climate change and global warming. We have tons of SCIENTISTS who work day in and day out to collect this type of data and are clearly the experts yet people like Trump want to say it's a "Chinese Hoax".. it makes absolutely no sense!!
  •  
    Climate change is an important issue that has an impact far outside the present. I thought the author made an interesting point at the beginning of his article, when he talked about how after 9-11 we found terror but when it comes to climate change people look the other way.
  •  
    Hurricane Harvey is one of the many signs that climate change is a threat to our planet. The article states that "last year was the third year in a row to set a record for highest global average surface temperature " and since then other studies and reports have only further proven these dacts.

Effects | Facts - Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet - 2 views

  •  
    This site goes over the many scientists studying climate change and its impact around the globe. The site also highlights the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and their efforts to predict the effects of climate change.
  • ...3 more comments...
  •  
    Scientists predict the future effects of climate change according reports. Temperatures will continue to increase, and seasons will lengthen. There will be more frequent extreme weather and a rise in sea level.
  •  
    Climate change is too often ignored, I'm glad that NASA has ongoing updates about the situation. More people should be accessing this site in order to educate themselves.
  •  
    This is a great article it is also important to know that if we don't get on track it could be too late to reverse the damage. Also how deserts would become even worse wastelands and the weather would be too extreme on earth to be inhabitable.
  •  
    Using NASA as a source for climate change is great. This is a great web source for being able to quickly see what scientists are saying in active research.
  •  
    I found this article to be very informative on the effects of climate change. I was not aware that hurricanes would become worse and growing seasons increase.

Environment & Climate Justice - 1 views

    Climate Change is a huge issue and really needs to be resolved. We're fighting for the policies and we need to realize the impacts and be more sustainable, corporate, and save the planet. We only have one.

    Climate change is bigger than us, and very few realize that. We need to take action in order to save the earth! Climate change is affecting countries all over.
  •  
    I agree that climate change is a severe issue in today's world. Methods on reduction of contamination such as carbon dioxide and methane being released into our environment need to be enforced since pollutants like these play a huge factor in climate change.
  •  
    Human activity, especially greenhouse gas emissions, is considered the dominant cause of temperature increases.
