Global warming ruining our enviorment


Global warming is a highly debated subject because of the deteriorating environment. Many people are ignorant to global warming and just don't see the effects of it and how humans are causing it "out of sight out of mind". Many republicans say global warming isn't an issue and that fracking would be a good idea because it would help America. It all started in WW1 which was the first war run completely on petroleum. Many years’ later people realize that they are completely dependent on oil and everything needs oil to run.
     Republicans oppose the view on global warming thinking that it is not an issue and does not need to be focused on as in other issues are more important. The republicans think fracking which could cause harm to our water ways releasing radiation would be a good thing so we could get natural gas and have more resources. But in my opinion we should focus more on renewable resources to use, because we will always have those but we won't always have oil, coal and natural gas. Also renewables are environment friendly so we could start preventing animals from going extinct and from the artic water from melting and causing an overall warming effect on the earth. So clearly the republicans are the ones i don't agree with at all.
       My opinion is Global warming is a huge issue. America's biggest environmental harming resource is oil 37% dependent on it but oil isn't going to last forever. "Fossil fuels are in the majority" of resources used in the US today which is why our climate is changing. Oil drilling is big money and big business so if they stopped thousands of people would be out of a job which is why i feel we still drill and mine and extract it helps people with jobs. But at the same time is it really worth animals going extinct, radiation being put into our waters and harmful chemicals being put into the air we breathe?

911 in a nutshell

 Many people can agree that 911 was the most terrifying, disatourous, and saddening event to every happen in America history. It mad people all over the country wonder if they were ever safe and what if they were in New York on that day. National security was in a rut and nobody knew how to react. Maybe the real issue was Bush avoiding the fact that people had told him that this was gonna happen and he did nothing about it. Maybe it was Americas poor airport security. The answer may never come to light but we can still see the after math of 911. Many people lost there relatives, firefighters lost there lives trying to protect the people of America. Planes were all cancelled all over the US until president Bush gave permission for governments officials to remove all of Bin Ladens relatives who lived in America back to Saudia Arabia. George W. Bush called for war to try and take down the group Al Queda,
    Someone who would disagree with me on american safety is John Payne who believes even though  Bin LAden is dead that terrioism is still alive and will continue because Al Queda is still deadly and strong." you can't defeat a tactic" John Payne. Paul Krugman believes that 911 was ment to bring america together but Bush used it as a political high jacking to up his name and not focus on the real issues.
   On 911 terrioists high jacked some planes and flew them into the twin towers in hope to reck america. America today is much more cautious the airports are much more safety oriented. But part of America is still super secret on account of national security there scared because they dont know who there fighting or how to fight them. I believe the death  of Bin Laden is amazing and a big step to taking down the terroist group Al Queda.
