Inconvenient Truth
In globaloria class we watched a video about global warming and how it is affects humans and animals in this world.This video is about global warming.In this video it says that global warming is increasing every year.That's not good!This video was made in 2006, which means that global warming could of gone higher.I really think we should take action based on this video.This video was made 4 years ago.It means that if this continues it will get worse and worse.If this continues it will affect the human race and the animals.It will affect and is affecting the animals because it is causing the habitats to either warm up or get too cold.It affect the humans because some of the animals that are dieing are the animals that us as humans need to survive.this video should really stretch out to other people in the world so that everyone can see what type of things are happening.

In class yesterday afternoon, we watched a movie called Coral Reef Adventure. This film was about Coral Reefs, how we are affecting them and how other things are affecting them. This film was about two people who have explored lots of Coral Reefs and has also done a couple of test.
Here are some questions we had to answer:
What is a Coral Reef?
Where are Coral Reefs found?
Are Coral Reefs in danger?
What is harming the Coral Reefs?
What can we do to prevent the destruction of Coral Reefs?
How are Coral Reefs beneficial to the living organisms on earth?
A Coral Reef is a living animal.Coral Reefs are found in the oceans.It really depends on where you are at.Coral Reefs are in danger.The things that are affecting the Coral Reefs are Ocean Warming, Over Fishing and also Saltations.Saltation is when the water gets dirty from pollution.Ocean Warming is when the ocean gets hotter then what its supposed to.Over fishing is when fishermen take out to much of the fish population, which affects Coral Reefs.What we can do to prevent destruction fro Coral Reefs are that we can spread awareness about how Coral Reefs help us as human beings.Also on how it helps the other animals in the oceans.Coral Reefs are beneficial to us because some of them are used to get tested and if well tested they make our medicine out of them.What we can do to help out the Coral Reefs is to raise awareness about them.Raise awareness about ho they help us and other animals in the ocean.
