Something is wrong with my blog because it won’t let me rename the link but if you click on what I’ve written it will redirect you to the article.
This article is about Al Gore’s new project to educate America about global warming. The project is called The Alliance for Climate Protection. This project is supposed to span three years and is a multi-million dollar mission. The group believes that if they can get people educated and interested in global warming then those people will call for change. The Alliance for Climate Protection is focusing mostly on advertising and will be using mostly politicians as their celebrities.
What I like about this article is that they are trying to motivate people to take action. Advertising is also probably the most effective way to instigate change. However I feel like skeptics might not believe in this program as much because its from Al Gore who some believe to be over the top about global warming. Another thing that I like about this article is that it says that Gore has donated massive amounts from the profits from his documentary An Inconvenient Truth and from his winnings from the Nobel Peace Prize. It’s good to see people be the change they want others to embolden.

This article focuses on species endangerment or extinction thanks to global warming. It provides solid evidence talking about the current climate change taking place and how various species have been affected. This type of data is a lot more indisputable than the predicted computer-generated data that many other articles use. The article says that as the temperatures rise animals are moving towards cooler climates. This disrupts whole ecosystems. There is a controversy among biologists as to what should be done. Wendy Foden, a conservation biologist with the World Conservation Union said, “If our job as biologist is to conserve species, then certainly we must move them. But if it’s to conserve natural evolutionary processes…then we have to give them corridors and let them do their thing.”
I thought there were a lot of surprising data in this article. The one that stuck to me the most was the one that said Mediterranean Jellyfish are being found off the coast of Ireland. That’s a huge change. Besides disrupting local beach-goers, this must put a major strain on the both of those fragile ecosystems.
