Frank DeCoulter

Frank described global warming. There are 5 parts to it which i didnt know.
The artic and the poles are in danger the most. The polarbears in danger. This is because of the 1 degree celius change. I didnt know that one temperature change could make such a difference. We are seeing a decrease in ice glaciers. The sierras is the most affected temp change in california. It was scary to see a potentional 10 degree temperatre change in california.

All this temperature drop isnt goood. People dont think that 1 degree is a big deal. the warming isnt distrbuted evenly. the north hemisphere because the north pole there is no land which makes the dark ocean absorbs heat versus the white antarctic ice reflecting light.

I thought his speech was very intriging and i learnd a lot. I was also very suprised about it all.

  1. I also thought that DeCourten's speech was intriging.. I was a little sad when he was discussing the temp change in the artic and how the polar bears were in danger. After doing my own research, I fould out that the polar bear was officially listed as threatened under the U.S. endangered species act on May 14, 2008. This the first creature brought under the act's protection for habitat loss that is linked to global warming. So sad...
