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?

  1. Shelby,

    Good blog, but it seems a bit rushed. You add the 37% statistic in there, which is great, but try to add "facts" like this to each paragraph. In fact, try to add at least 3 of such facts to each paragraph.

    Check through for typos and grammar mistakes.

    I like that you have a clearly defined opposing viewpoint paragraph, but try to save your opinion for the final paragraph.

    Try to spend a little more time on it, and you will improve. I know you can.
