Science Assignment 2

Global Warming/Climate Change

Global Warming and Climate Change are usually used incorrectly interchangeable. There are differences that should be noted and actions that should be taken to decrease their ample situation. Climate change is the change in regional areas. This includes temperature, humidity, precipitation, and severe weather. Global warming is the overall increasing temperature of the earth. There are steps that can be taken to prevent both global warming and climate change. One way is lower the amount of trees that are being cut down. Also the same amount that gets cut should be replaced with new trees to grow. Another way is to unplug electrical equipment when it is not being used. This is because, humans use more electricity with their appliances turned off than when they are on. There are many more ways that can help the world. They can be as small as taking a bike or alternate ride to work.

Nuclear Weapons

Both of the presidential candidates support the U.S.-India nuclear agreement. This agreement will end a 30 year ban on sales of nuclear fuel/technology. This ban was constituted because India tested/developed a nuclear bomb. The supporters of this agreement say that it will form a lasting alliance between the United States and the world’s largest democracy. They may support this, but I have a question. "Why would you have this agreement with a nuclear bomb in the specifics of it?" It's just a question; sometimes hard to answer, other times not.

Off Shore Drilling

Offshore drilling usually refers to the removal of resources that are underwater near the shoreline. Both of the campaigns want some drilling to an extent. Some may know when to stop, and others may not. "Why would you drill and hurt animals?" They don't know how much oil they will find, and there is not only one place to drill. The current president wants to drill at a refuge in Alaska. They shouldn't drill at refuges and such because the animals are important to. However, drilling at least to an extent may be necessary right now because of the high gas prices.
