    In a poll online done by 13,500 people in 13 countries, found that most believe believe climate change is going on. 98% believe in Mexico. 98% believe in Hong Kong. 97% believe in Indonesia. 80% believe in Belgium. 72% believe in the United States of America Rising average temperature, drought, and extremes of rainfall were the reasons most people believed in climate change. Although countries had different results about if humans were to blame for climate change. 94% believe in Hong Kong. 93% believe in Indonesia. 92% believe in Mexico. 87% believe in Germany. 78% believe in Japan. 65% believe in Great Britain. 58% believe in the United States of America. The survey was from July 5 through August 6. It was polled in Belgium, Great Britain, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United States of America. In Japan global warming has been dismissed as nuclear propaganda.

    This post is not just about plain old global warming, it is about why global warming is not believed. "Why Americans don't believe in global warming?" Is it only us? Are we a threat? What percentage of Americans support fixing climate change programs? YOU HAVE TO READ TO FIND OUT! It is about the Economy, Politics, and beliefs of global warming.

    Great discourse on the American reluctance to support climate change. There could be a bunch of factors- some political, some religious (!) or just for arguments sake!

    I did not know that they are the oldest fossils on Earth. If scientists disagree about the definition, then is there more information to be found about these fossil?

    I did not know that stromatolites were the oldest fossil on earth. And some scientists think that they were formed from green and blue algae but that is just one theory. This is a helpful interesting website that will help with our geology unit.

    Great find Christine. this really relates to what we have been learning in science class. Some of the facts that i had learned while reading the sections, even though I had not read all of them because, I was pressed on time, that stromatolites are considered one of the earths oldest fossils besides phylogenetic determination of conserved nucleic acid sequences. Stromatolites are basically considered portals to the knowledge of earths past life, into the deep time of the earths existence, the evolution of different species that are thriving in the modern times. I didn't know that scientist often disagreed on how to classify stromatolites. Some believe that it is a laminated rock that is formed by the growth of blue or green algae.

    This was a very good article about the movements of tectonic plates. One of the most interesting facts that I had learned from reading the article was that the tectonic plates make up earths outer shell called the lithosphere. There were also many different things that I didn't know about such as that if the plates keep diverging in the Great Rift Valley in Africa, millions of years from now, eastern Africa will split apart from the continent creating a new continent. the three different types of Tectonic Boundaries are called convergent, divergent, and transform.

    I can't believe you can make a diamond out of a relative with pressure and 5,000 degrees fahrenheit.
  • Ketan Mandava on 28 Nov 12
     
    It truly does amaze me how this is done but if the people make one mistake, the diamond is worth nothing. You also don't get the cremations you gave in the diamond you get.
  • nadiasolorio on 30 Nov 12

  • sydturner12 on 01 Dec 12
     
    It's a really interesting website that has everything from how they are made to why you should make your relative into a diamond. Also the pressure to about 800,000 pounds per square inch which I thought was pretty interesting.
  • gracemasters on 01 Dec 12
     
    They will make a diamonds out of any ash that you want.
  • katieneal713 on 01 Dec 12
     
    That's really interesting! How do they create a diamond so fast?
  • Tucker Hamilton on 02 Dec 12
     
    Synthetic diamonds are used for industrial purposes and are not worth a lot until they are cut. It is the complexity of the cut that gives it value. Industrial diamonds are used to sharpen blades for cooking and surgery industrial diamonds are in chainsaws to make a better saw, and synthetic diamonds are used in cutting other diamonds.
  • Lily Dines on 02 Dec 12
     
    To make a diamond out of ashes, you have to heat it up to over 5,000 degrees!
  • graceymounsey on 02 Dec 12
     
    It takes a while or the diamond to be made and a lot of pressure.
  • jmacdonald11 on 03 Dec 12

  • juliadellasalle on 03 Dec 12
     
    I think that it is crazy that the temperature has to go up to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit! Then the carbon turns to graphite and that takes a few weeks to do I think that it is crazy that you can turn ashes into diamonds!

Climate graph science global warming

shared by C Bryant on 06 Mar 13 - No Cached
  • C Bryant on 06 Mar 13
     
    Over past years, the climate is drastically getting warmer. Four International Science institutions collected data, which has been transfered to a graph. From 1880 up to now, the climate has been getting warmer. But this past decade, appears the warmest. 18 different scientific associations wrote a bit about climate change and their thoughts. Some say that it is clear that rapid change in climate is from humans. Others say it is due to greenhouse gas. I do believe that climate change is partially caused by humans. And even though it may be hard to tell at times, the climate is constantly changing day by day.

    Q and A with climate change facts! Good to quiz yourself with:) my favorite is: In the past, has Earth been warmer than it is today? If so, does that mean we shouldn't worry about global warming?
  • Charlie Wallace on 05 Mar 13
     
    NASA (National Aeronautics Space Administration) and NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) agree that climate change is happening and humans are contributing to it. Many people agree in the United States of America and abroad. MAny believe it is because of greenhouse gases from humans. Scientists are trying to answer some very important questions such as how quickly will the world warm, and what consequences will that have on certain parts of the world. The global temperature average has risen by 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit over the last 100 years. NOAA said that the decade between 2000-2010 was the warmest decade on record. 2005 was the warmest year on record. There have been more intense rainfall and severe heat waves. Sea levels are rising. The Earth does go through warming and cooling because of factors such as sun and volcanic activity. The warming and cooling is partly natural and partly because of humans. The sun's energy has fluctuated but is small in comparison compared to human's effect. The warming is consistent with what happens with heat trapping carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide can lead to climate changes that can hurt plants, animals, and people. For every 2 degrees Fahrenheit raise 5-15% reductions in crops. 3-10% increase in rain which would create flooding. 5-10% increase in stream flow. 200-400% increase in wildfires in the western United States. Scientists predict that the temperature will rise 2-12 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100. It is not too late too fix climate change!

    This websites provides excellent proof of the fact that global warming is real. In the last 650,000 years CO2 levels did not go over 300 ppm. However in recent times the ppm has sky rocketed to 390 ppm. I find it is also frightening that ten of the hottest years occurred in the last 12 years. Coldest records are not being reported as often as they used to be. The top 700 meters of the ocen has rose a frightening .3 degrees Fahrenheit seance 1969. The acidity of the ocean has also risen by 30%. This website backs up my ideas on climate change. I believe and so does NASA that global warming is happening now.

    I also found this website and found it very interesting with a graph on the front. There were signs of only seven cycles of glaciers advancing and retreating in the past 650,000 years. Many of the earths satellites can now pick up on the earths changes big or small. The sea level has risen 6.7 inches in ten years and it may double that rate if the glaciers and polar ice caps keep melting.

    This link show you that global warming does make an effect on the earth. It tells you lots of good information. I was surprised that the earth has had its hottest temperatures in the last 12 years! There has been no coldest records in a long time.
