What is Global Warming? Global Warming is when the earth heats up (temperature rises). It happens when greenhouse gases trap heat and light from the sun in the earth's atmosphere. Global Warming has caused a lot in this world today. This causes many effects to people, animals, and plants.
Scientists have determined that a number of human activities by adding excessive greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide accumulate into the atmosphere and trap heat that normally would exit through outer space. Global Warming is also caused by some of the following, pollution from factories, carbon dioxide from rotting trees, the burning of coal, natural gases and fossil fuels lead to methane traveling into Earth's atmosphere any transportation vehicles, water vapor, and many other little things make Global Warming way worse.
Summers are getting hotter and winters are getting milder, glaciers are melting and sea levers are rising. If sea levels rise too much they could flood coastal cities all over the world. The warming could also affect the weather in various parts of the planet, producing more storms, with violent winds and flooding. Over the ages, however, our planet has alternated between periods of warm weather and periods of cold weather.
Global Warming may actually cause some areas to get colder and produce more snow falls. Every place on Earth would experience a climate that is different from what it used to be. Climatologists believe that the warmer temperatures are enhancing a weather phenomenon. Climate models indicate that we can expect sea levels to rise even further by eight inches to as much as seven feet by the 2050. United States are currently just about at sea level. A significant rise in the ocean levels could put cities such as New York City and the entire state of Florida under water. Changes brought by Global Warming have been too rapid to allow species to adapt and survive. Warming ocean temperatures are harming populations of krill, shrimp like kinds of fish and sea birds. Coral reefs are also threatened by the warming temperatures. Most of the world relies on fossil fuels to generate energy. Fossil fuels are responsible for more than ninety percent of human produced carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. There are many ways to help stop Global Warming.
Some ways to stop Global Warming are to buy a hybrid car, buy a fuel efficient car, and carpool when you can. These are just some ways to help prevent Global Warming, but these are just the little issues to take care of, and the bigger issues will come later. Some other ways to stop global warming are to inflate your tires, reduce garbage, plant a tree, used recycled paper, fill the dishwasher, and take shorter showers.
The causes of Global Warming are real. What we decide to do is up to every one of us. The first and most important course of action we can take is to make a major shift to renewable energy sources. Wind power, solar energy, ocean energy and geothermal power are the types of energy sources we have to utilize, on a major scale, if we want to stop our climate change from happening. The ecology of our planet is at stake and it’s up to everyone to take a stand and do something about it.

Thesis: Global Warming has caused and effected a lot in this world today.

Cause and Effect

Eating disorders are more common than you may think. Why? Because skinny men and women are always displayed in the media. One may think its ok to look like this but really not. Due to the media everyone looks at this for courage, and hopefullness to look good. Everyone also may look in magazines and all you see is skinny people and when you look at that that will make you think "wow, I should look like this." Eating disorders are more common along girls because they're more shown in magazines and on television. The most common types of eating disorders are Bulimia, Anorexia, and purging.
In conclusion, eating disorders are more common than you think. So think twice when you think your fat, or need to throw up because it will cause complications later on in life.

Critical Thinking

According to Wikipedia.com "Critical thinking consists of mental processes of discernment, analysis and evaluation. It includes possible processes of reflecting upon a tangible or intangible item in order to form a solid judgment that reconciles scientific evidence with common sense. In contemporary usage "critical" has a certain negative connotation that does not apply in the present case. Though the term "analytical thinking" may seem to convey the idea more accurately, critical thinking clearly involves synthesis, evaluation, and reconstruction of thinking, in addition to analysis."

Critical thinkers gather information from all senses, verbal, and/or written expressions. Like for example you have to think critically in order to make important decisions, like where your going to college, if your going to take a year off or what you want to do with the rest of your life. Also you have to use critical thinking in order to write papers for school.

Now that I am ending my senior year, I have to make all these decisions on what I'm going to do with the rest of my life, these decisions aren't easy but since we only have 13 days left hopefully everyone has an idea where there going to go.

In conclusion, Critical thinking makes people think about what is important to them and their surroundings. Everyone has to make important decisions in life at any point in their life. Without critical thinking the world would be much of it is today like for example people driving around cars that they can't afford and debt they can't pay off, so listen here think critically and you can make better choices in life.

Thinking essay

"The manifestation of the wind of thought is not knowledge; it is the ability to tell right from wrong, beautiful from ugly. And this, at the rare moments when the stakes are on the table, may indeed prevent catastrophes, at least for the self."

I agree with this quote because when I'm thinking during class sometimes I space out and it affects my surroundings and what I'm doing. I don't know if you feel this way but I sure do. While your thinking about a decision you need to make you should think about if this is right or wrong and then just make sure its what you want to do that won't make you get in trouble if you do do something that's wrong.

I believe that it's your decision to make wise decisions and chose right from wrong. Otherwise if you don't think of right and wrong you'll just make the decisions that others would make and not do what you want to do. During class I'm sure you've seen people space out, everyone does it, but what are they thinking about? I've always wondered what goes on in other people's minds but I guess the only way to know is to ask and communicate with them.

In conclusion this quote deals with thinking through what is not knowledge but what you feel is right from wrong. My advice is to listen to your inner self and decide what you want to do from either making decisions that will help you not set you back. What is thinking to you?
