Plan B 4.0 Preface-Ch. 3, Ch. 10

 

“Countless global climate models show that as temperature rises, some parts of the world will become more vulnerable to drought” (Brown 71)

Throughout time global warming has been discussed in my life and something I strongly believe it is affecting our world greatly. The release of all these fossil fuels and other pollutants into our atmosphere cannot be good and it is taking a toll on the world we call home. The human race is destroying the earth that we are so blessed to be able to live on in such comfort and it needs to be stopped. This quote explains the basis of what global warming is and describing the gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth due too loss of our atmosphere. I agree that the world will become vulnerable to great change starting with the loss of the North and South Pole.

“The most vulnerable part of a plants life cycle is the pollination period”(Brown 70)

The pollination stage of a plant to me seems like it would be the least vulnerable part of its life. When a plant is pollinated it is spreading its plant sperm basically to the female plant. The proper name for this plant sperm is called anther and the female part is called stigma. The spread of anther to stigma is basically creating the male plant to fertilize the female for them to start reproduction. In my eyes this is not the most vulnerable part of there yet the most exciting time of their lifespan.

“Climate change poses a threat to our civilization that has no precedent”(Brown 71)

Over the last one hundred years the temperature of the world has increased greatly causing huge threats to our world and the species living on it. For example the melting of ice in Antarctica can be seen and without the ice animals such as the polar bear and snow fox cannot live and will become extinct. As this ice begins to melt the ocean then rises posing a threat to islands such as my hometown of Key West. Its s predicted that in ten thousand years my hometown will be completely underwater, as the ocean will rise significantly. Due to us destroying our world we will then not be able to live like we used to live because of our ignorance to earths natural balance.
