I think I should update my blog with posts that... well, aren't assigned, lol!

Lately I've been watching this show called "The Search for the Next Pussycat Doll," something like that. The show's about these girls competing to join this band called the Pussycat Dolls; I'm pretty sure everyone out there has heard of them. Well, the girls on the show are freaking hot as hell; ya'll should tune in. Just thought I'd share.

I remember telling Professor Drew that the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" talks a lot about what we have been covering; with the unit on global warming that is. I was very surprised when he said he has never heard of the movie, or that he has never seen it. "The Day After Tomorrow" was a pretty big movie; I assumed that he had at the least heard about it. So I have decided to post a couple trailers of the movie on my blog and another video that I also found on YouTube showing the effects of global warming in the movie.


1. Effects of Global Warming; clips from "The Day After Tomorrow."



2. "The Day After Tomorrow" Trailers.

Ok, now this article deals with the ways that we can help and prevent global warming.
The article goes on to talk about what is causing the effects of global warming, including what we can do to stop it.

Some examples the article gives are:
1. Reducing electricity usage around the house.
2. Improving vehicle fuel-efficiency.
3. Conserving energy in the home and yard.

The article goes more into detail on these examples.

You can have a look at the article and the ways we can help global warming here.

For this post I thought I'd do something different. I found this video on YouTube talking about global warming, so I thought I'd post it on my blog. The video is a bit long, but it discusses many of the issues that we've talked about. It also uses Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" various times as a major reference.

One thing about the global warming issue that really touches me, and that was also mentioned in Al Gore's documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," is the stranding of polar bears.

I was reading an article on the topic, and the atricle explained to me that polar bears have been dying and it is a possibility that they could become extinct. In previous years polar bears have been known to be quite big and heavy, but the article suggests otherwise; that now polar bears appear to be skinnier. The reason that this is a problem is because polar bears need their body fat to keep them alive; especially when the temperatures drop to below freezing levels.

Because of global warming, glaciers and ice caps have been melting drastically leaving the bears nowhere to go. With just water ahead of them, the bears grow tired, weary, and vulnerable. Having nowhere to rest, the bears eventually drown.

It has definitely been a while since I last posted anything, so I'll go ahead and do what I have to.

I read this article on how global warming is altering the genetic make-up of animals. Basically the article states that animals right now are trying to fight the warming weather conditions that are taking over. The article gives examples of how birds lay their eggs earlier than their supposed to, it also says that frogs are spawning earlier also. The article gives another example of how the life cycle of a tiny species of mosquitos has been affected due to the shift in seasons and the increasing global temperatures.
