Global Warming


Many people don't think global warming exists. They are wrong. It's definitely getting warmer and warmer every year. When there's a "record low", they mean record for the last 20 years, not as low as it was 100 years ago. Did humans make it happen? I don't know. I know the Earth has temperature cycles, and I think we would have to deal with a warming no matter what. But I also know that it doesn't usually get warm enough to melt the polar ice caps, and that it might this time.

If it does, there won't be enough land left for humans to live on. We'll have to find new ways of living between now and then, but no one seems to be thinking about it. Well, here's my thoughts:

1. Land- learning to build cities underground and as skyscrapers. Learning how to farm indoors. Learning how to make indoor gardens and maybe even indoor forests would definitely help. These things can then be translated into the next two areas.

2. Sea- we need to discover how to make buildings that can work under the ocean, or on the ocean. I think under would be safer during storms, but not too far under, because of the giant sea-creatures down there. Or maybe they can make them on the sea, and figure out how to protect them from the giant waves that happen when it's stormy.

3. Space- learning to make space stations that can support countries instead of just a village. Exploring ways of living on the moon, and living on mars. Maybe green-house gasses could be used to create an atmosphere around them? I don't know enough about science to say how this can happen, but it needs to be explored at the very least.

These are the things science needs to be working on, so that we can live during the years when there is so little land on earth. Heck, if all the people live on the ocean and in space, the land can be used for plants and animals.

If you think it can't be done... look at zoos and aquariums  Seriously, they build tanks to hold that much water in, can't they use the same concepts to keep that much water out? They already make habitats inside for the animals that need climate control. So don't laugh at me for thinking this. It needs to happen.

Alright, I'm done with my soapbox for today.
