Not just another story on Global Warming

When it comes to the topic of global warming there is no way that one can truly explain all the causes and affects. Overtime the issue has received plenty of attention; but yet has made little progress. I’m not going to write about how I feel about global warming; but rather give you some facts and let you decide how to feel.

Recently I was watching a special on the National Geographic channel called six degrees; the episode explains how our climate will change dramatically in the next fifty years due to our extravagant lifestyles. This change has been the result of emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from human activities. Some of these activities include fossil fuel combustion, industrial processes, and changes in land use, such as deforestation.

As a result we face some extreme changes in our climate; these changes will not only affect the way we live, but can be severely dangerous to our existence. With the increase in temperature the sea level will rise and gradually flood coastal areas and increase beach erosion. There will be changes in precipitation patterns, as well as increased risk of droughts and floods. There will be threats to our biodiversity, and more importantly changes to our health.

For many people global warming is just something they hear so much about that they just ignore the subject all together. However we must face the issue now in order to help better our lives as well as generations to come.

There are many different ways in which we can do this, click here to see you can help prevent further global warming.

What Now?

While thinking about a topic to write about, I started to space off and think about how much time I have until graduation. I then realized that there are probably hundreds of other seniors who are worried about the same thing. It’s hard to concentrate on school work, when you have hundreds of other things on your mind. What happens when I graduate? Will I be able to find a good job? Will I live with my parents for the rest of my life?

Unlike most students I have already been on my own for the last year and a half. I have my own apartment and already pay my own bills. But yet I still feel as if I haven’t fully been thrown into the real world. This is probably because I still feel like I have so much to learn. The thought of messing up in life scares me, but I am sure that its normal to be scared.

I started to freak out when I realized that I have two months to find a job that will start my career. I know a lot of people talk about finding a job that pays well; however in today’s generation money has become the determining factor in deciding what job to take.

Ideally I would like to be a graphic designer for an art magazine. One magazine that has inspired me is Beautiful Decay. It has a very unique raw style to it; as it keeps its readers up to date on new artist.
