Summary Response

Global Warming could bring terrible consequences

According to the article “Warming Imperils Md. Species; Scientists Fear Loss of Baltimore Oriole, Native Brook Trout” written by Fahrenthold (2008), the global temperature is increasing and that causes a lot of change in the world such as the shifting bird migration or the disappearing of some species. The brown pelican, which is native of Louisiana, has left from there. Now over 1,000 brown pelican have been born in Washington. The brook trout also could be disappearing because of their intolerance for heat. However the public’s interest has been stoked and authorities are trying to find a solution. Researchers are trying to find a solution to make trout remain in Washington. The author mentions other consequences of climate change; for example people who watch birds have noticed that the birds that they were watching were related with warming weather. Plants are changing too; Washington’s cherry blossoms are flowering days earlier than before. Finally the author presents two postures of people. One said that the cycle of the nature is changing and we have to deal with this but, others said that hot temperatures could cause a lot of damage for the life.

The author has a good point, that climate change affects the life in the world and we can prove that, because we can see the changes. Some consequences of global warming could be that the human race could disappear; the food could not be enough and every day the land of the world is sinking in the ocean.

The human race could disappear. Some people can think that it is not a problem that the brown pelican migrated to Washington, but that is a big problem because it is one of consequences of the global warming. That the brown pelican, which is native of Louisiana, which is an state located in the south, migrated to the north is a worrisome situation. What would happen with the humans that live in the south if the global warming continues? Do we have to migrate to the north? That is not a possibility, and the human race could start to disappear. Not only are brown pelicans migrating but other species are starting to change too, and at the end of this era maybe we will have more problems with the heat of the world.

The food could disappear too, if the world continues increasing its temperature. Nature could not produce the renewable resources. A lot of our food comes from nature and could not be produced at high temperatures. Animals are also our food and they start to be suffering, more than humans, the global warming consequences. Animals can disappear because they have started to have problems to find their own food; for example brown pelicans in the warm ocean cannot find their food and they are migrating. If the animals disappear and the nature cannot produce food because of the temperature, what will humans eat? The food will not be enough.

The land is sinking in the ocean; that is happening because the glaciers are melting. One of global warming consequences is that the Earth temperature is increasing and the poles start to be warming. The ice in the poles is melting and the water runs around the oceans and covers the land of the countries. Humans in countries from the coast start to suffer inundations and a lot of people could lose their houses. Animals in the poles are suffering too; for example, in the coast of Brazil someone found a family of penguins,, some had died and some were almost dead. Global warming could make our countries disappear.

Global warming affects the whole world, and every day we can see more consequences of this with the passing of the years. We have to be worried, because the human race could disappear. Food could not be enough for humans and countries are sinking in the water. What we need is for more people to start thinking of the Earth. The last of these consequences could be the worst
