PLEASE READ EVERYTHING AND APPLY YOURSELF TO WHAT COULD HAPPEN OR ELSE!!!!! rofl

As you see, there are many things i don't like, but they all deal with the future of the world and no one is willing to make a difference although all we do is complain. I would like to point out I am not a "tree-hugger". So we're on the same page here? If so, good, if not, there's no point in continuing on reading. Before ranting on about what I am going to say, no, I am not blaming any political figure or criticizing how they run our government. The issue is saving energy and finding alternatives to use electronics like purchasing hybrid cars or unplugging everything you're using. Maybe even donate funds to scientists who are discovering ways to not rely on so much energy.

Okay, these are one of those scientific explanations you really have to apply yourself to. Please don't skip this because it's super important. Okay, there's this thing called the Ozone Layer in the Earth's atmosphere. What it does is trap heat from escaping the Earth. As it gets thicker, the more the heat is trapped inside, the radiation of the sun's rays increase the likelihood of skin cancer and melt the polar ice caps. The melting of these ice caps is called global warming. The U.S. makes up 4% of the global population. On the other hand, we are responsible for 25% of fossil fuels produced. (a fossil fuel is a hydrocarbon deposit, such as petroleum, coal, or natural gas, derived from living matter of a previous geologic time and used for fuel)

The Polar Ice caps melting may rise the sea level of the oceans. This can cause islands to be sunken into the blue as if it were the lost city of Atlantis (There really is one that is almost sunken in). Oh yeah, watch Al Gore's Documentary "An Inconvenient Truth". I'm done ranting. Thanks for reading and reply with useful comments or questions.
