Acidic Test: The global challenge of ocean Acidification
The theory of global warming has been around for years, but we seem to rarely talk about the affect of it on our oceans. Global warming is causing excessive amounts of carbon dioxide to filter into the ocean,causing something called acidification to take place. It is filling our waters with acid,killing many species for good. The video also discussed animals in the ocean who use shells to protect themselves. They create their own shells by collecting certain molecules from the ocean,unfortunately these molecules are being depleted because of the acidification in the water.
If our society does not come up with alternative fuels quickly than our once beautiful oceans will be turned into ruins,made up of dead weeds. Frankly,I believe its selfishness. The world revolves around business and money. Those ocean creatures own this earth just as much as humans do and it isn't fair that we continuously destroy their homes day after day with no remorse;The consequences may unfortunately be soon to come.
Do you think the majority of society is naive about the theory of global warming?

I do believe that most of society, doesn't really think of global warming and is naive to it. Since it is not affecting them personally now, they don't seem to be interested in it and would rather have someone else worry about it later.
ReplyDeleteI don't necessarily think they're naive, because this problem has been talked about and discussed many times prior. However, I can agree that people do not see these affects as a major issue in their lives. They think about global warming as something that will not affect them personally and so they should just wait for future generation to deal with it. By doing this however, they're only causing more problems and making this issue worse.
