Al Gore

2100 West End Avenue

Suite 620 Nashville, TN 37203

Dear Al Gore,

My name is Odessa and just like you I am a fellow environmentalist. I am sending you this letter because I know that you are conscious of global warming and the effects that may be a result of global warming. I also know that your movie “An

Inconvenient Truth” attained $45,000,000 in the box office, so I know you probably had a major impact on at least half of the people who saw the movie. Basically this letter is to convince you to do more than what you’re doing now, because I’ve read your blogs on your website and how you went to Live Earth to raise awareness, but I think some of those things you do are not the essential precautions to take against global warming.

This is why you should be more unrelenting to do more things about global warming: In early January, in Washington D.C (where I live and where you were born) it got all the way up to 72 degrees on January 6th for the whole day. I don’t think that’s mere coincidence, do you? Although here are some things I think you can do to alleviate global warming, I think you could invest some or money into cars that don’t use gasoline, start enhancing on those machines that can create ozone, etc. If you’re saying to yourself that none of this could be reality, this is how it could… run for president in the 2008 election! You almost won in the 2000 election so it never hurts to try again. I believe if you did become the president you could bring Global Warming to an end, and repair everything the Bush Administration has done over the past 8 years.

To conclude my letter, I just hope you do more things in America than you do in other countries because this country is yours is more important, and do some more things to prevent Global warming, I think you becoming president would really help you with that goal. Thanks for taking time from your busy schedule to read my letter.

Sincerely,

Odessa

Global Warming...

Odessa’s Global Warming Blog.

Have you heard of Global warming? If so, do you know what causes it? Do you know what it does? If not, this is a good place to start.

Global Warming is a phenomenon that has been occurring since around the mid 20th century. Global Warming is caused by massive amounts of carbon emissions and greenhouse gases, if you do not know where carbon comes from, here are some good examples: Cars, lawn mowers and humans naturally emit carbon. There are a plethora of cars running, lawn mowers, and humans emitting carbon everyday.

When all this carbon is emitted it is gradually destroying the ozone layer, which most life needs to survive the sun’s callous waves that may give you skin cancer or waves that just kill you completely. Now that you know what it is and what it does, I am going to go in depth about global warming. Scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) can tell Global warming is in full effect. (From the NOAA official website) The NOAA says that the first 6 months of 2007 were warmer and had less precipitation than the average for the U.S. Actually, you may have noticed some of the changes, for example, have the winters where around you live been shorter or warmer or not as much snow around where you live? In January, around D.C (where I live.) it got to be 80 degrees, very rare temperatures for D.C in the winter. All of that I mentioned is “probably” caused by some of the ozone loss, but then again, it could be sheer coincidence.

If you think not having a winter is bad, here are some more changes that could come into fruition, as a result of global warming: more extreme storms like Hurricane Katrina (Some storms may get so terrible that they may have to give the storm higher than level 5), melting of polar ice caps (If the ice caps melt then some of our beaches will be gone), ponds and lakes (like the great lakes for example) possibly drying up into nothingness(with no bodies of water that means no fish) and other ghastly things of that nature.

So what can you do to ease global warming? You can not drive your car as much (ride a bus or train or ride a bike) mow your lawn once in a blue moon, and basically don’t do anything that emits a lot of carbon and/or gases. If you would do those things, you would be really helping the future generations to come…and Earth as well.
