What I have learned form my classmates.

Hunter- Global Warming

            Global warming is the increase of earths average temperature. Many think that global warming is not real, but when you look deeper and research that facts are there to prove that it is real and a big problem that should be taken into consideration. Things used by humans such as cars and power plants expel harmful green house gases that are contributing to global warming. In Hunter’s slide show he had a very interesting graph that is able to show how humans are causing global warming. Overall global warming is happening and we should take it into consideration.

 

Jas- Biological Warfare

            Biological warfare is the use of biological pathogens as weapons. They use things such as toxins, viruses and bacteria to purposely infect the disease among populations, livestock or agriculture. Biological warfare has been around even before the 20th century. The major problem with biological warfare is that it is very hard to defend against. This form of warfare has even been seen in terrorism, when it is used in terrorism it is called bioterrorism.  Overall biological warfare can easily take us by surprise, and could devastate agriculture and livestock and even the lives of many humans.

 

 

Evan- Iraq War

            There are three main reasons Bush had to go invade Iraq on March 13, 2003. One, weapons of mass destruction. Two, maintain and protect oil supply. And third to stop the war on terror. The death toll has reached over 4500 deaths of American soldiers. The cost has soared to over $500 billion. In 2003 52% of Americans were in favor of the war, and in 2007 65% of Americans were against the war. Overall I think that the facts show that the war in Iraq is way overdue, and that something needs to be done to start a withdrawal.
