Dr0ught declared in California
The article that I read is called "drought declared in California" and well the title tells it all, but it talks about how Schwarzenegger already warned/told some residents already to cut the water use, or else they would have to face the concequences of droughts, the next year. It says that he already sighned an executive order directing to the state's response to unusually dry conditions that are damaging crops, harming water amounts and causing extreme fire danger across California. Also he derected to a water resource department to help speed water transfers on the worst affected areas, theyre also helping farmers suffering from droughts. I think that this relates to to the poor places around the globe, because its not only California who is sufferning form that issue, in many more Countries they have them, and even worse, because they die from many water issues like, infections, unsanitation, and just the need or it urgently.
how will we feed the world?
The article "How will we feed the world" is about the countries who are suffering because of food shortages. We all have food but what I think the issue is money, but not for all the countries because in some countries they do have lots of money, just that they dont have alot of feeding supplies. It talks about how hungry people from Haiti have been duing food riots saing "we're hungry"and so far 24 have died. Also they have mentioned some countries that I have heard like Egypt, , Indonesia, Bangladesh and Madagascar, and several others. The world bank has already siad that there are 33 countries that are in danger of food price inflation. What this relates to is the starving kids of Afrca, because usually when you hear the word "hunger" the first place that pops into your head is Africa.What I think is that people should be working together as a whole to make things better.
Not All Wet
In this article of water shortages many people all around the world are in need of water. Most people think that just because they are rich they can get water but not for long will that stay like that. China, Israel, and India are suffering too. They are all doing different things to help with there situation. Water means a lack of food because it takes water for food to start growing. If there is no water people will starve.

Water Shortages
I read the article Worldwide Water Shortage On Horizon. I learned that by 2025 more than half the nations in the world will have freshwater stress. By 2050 as much as 75 percent of the world's population could have freshwater scarcity. To fix the water shortage dilemma the US will need to use all water sources.

Drought declared in California
The article that I read was about the governor declaring water drought in California.He warned residents to cut down in water. He also mentioned how it's harming the crops and that it's causing fires through out California.In some parts they need it to snow so by summer they have lots of water but it's been really dry. This situation really worries me because water is extremely important.
Friday, June 6, 2008
200 different scientist from different countries said the most concerning issue with the world today is water shortage. Humans have access to 0.8% of the earths water. The demand for water within the next two decades is supposed to increase 40%. This shows their is not going to be enough water to support our needs. Water is not only a demand for people to drink but it takes 1,000 tonnes of water to create a ton of wheat. Their is simply just not enough water for our worlds needs.

pentagon: suspected mastermind of U.S Cole Bombing
The name of the article that I read is called "pentagon: suspected mastermind of U.S Cole Bombing Confesses. It's like, based on an interview that they were asking him the things that he had done, and surprisingly he said more than other ones, he confessed that he helped plan the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania by buying weapon's in 1998 that killed 213 people, Surprisingly he also confessed that he had meet Usama bin Laden that same day and that he was a link between him and Sheikh Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri on the 911 incident, well it realates to all the terrorism in general but that one only focuses on the terrorism between our enemies.
Terrorism Research
When you think of the word terrorism you may think back only on the September 11 attacks. In reality, Terrorism happens on a broader scale. Terrorism is a manipulation tactic utilized by striking fear into the lives of people."…the use of violence for political ends, and includes any use of violence for the purpose of putting the public, or any section of the public, in fear.". The fact that terrorist are often viewed as heroes on the opposing side, can easily be described as disturbing. Terrorist genuinely believe they are doing the right thing.

What is Terrorism?
What I learned about was the true definition of terrorism and thats crime mixed with beliefs. I personally think that all of the terrorism things thats going on is dumb. If they want to prove a point in society then why not do it another way instead of blowing up people?
Pentagon: Suspected Mastermind of USS Cole Bombing Confesses
The article that I read was about a man named Waleed Mohammed Bin Attash that confessed to planning the the attack on USS Cole. He also confessed about planning the bombing of the US in 1998 that killed 213 people. He talked about how he bought the bombs and that he planned it for one year and a half. Another man named Khalid Sheikh Mohammed also confessed of thirty-six different situations that he was in involved and one of them was the 9/11 attack. Both men were with Bin Laden. I think that this is really crazy. I hate the fact that people can do things like that. They're out of their mind.
Terrorism
The article that I read is called Pentagon: Suspected Mastermind of USS Cole Bombing Confesses. It talked about Waleed Mohammed Bin Attash, the man who said he helped bomb the US embassies in Kenya Tanzania in 1998. It relates to today because the United States of America is fighting a war on terrorism right now. I had no idea who this guy was or what he did until I read this article because I was pretty young when this happened.
Pentagon: Suspected Mastermind of USS Cole Bombing Confesses
Bin Attash had a hearing in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba about his alleged bombings of the U.S.S Cole and the U.S embassies In Kenya and Tanzania. Bin Attash admitted to being involved in both. He admitted to buying the boat and explosives also being responsible in the recruitment of the people that committed the act. Bin Attash killed dover 213 sailors and injured many more.
International Security Chiefs meet in Jerusalem

It said that in Israel they where having fights with civilians and militants and most were getting killed. The speakers said that that shouldn't be happening. Muslims where having street bombings too.

Food shortages loom as wheat crop shrinks and prices ris
What i read about today in the food shortages article was that the climate change is effecting the food provided every where. There are a lot of pressure on many farms an food companies due to the heat waves.
Food Shortages: how will we feed the world?
The article that I read was explaining how in the past month their been food riots and 24 people even died in one of them. Also that the price of rise has gone up and the reason why is because people are wanting more meat and dairy products so farmers are abandoning rice growing. A lot of people are in high risks. I believe that this situation is really sad because people need food to survive and theirs so many little kids dieing because they don't have anything to eat.
Food shortages loom as wheat crop shrinks and prices rise.
It is predicted that wheat will run in the world in the next ten weeks. Experts feel that due to climate change wheat has dropped from 624m to 600m tonnes. The lack of wheat will also cause many other foods and beverages to rise. For example beer, biscuits and bread will all rise in price. Americas recent change in diet to a high meat intake is causing most of the wheat to go towards livestock. In all this their is a solution to this problem. Farmers around the world have boughten millions of acres of land and is harvesting wheat to create a solution to this problem. This is projected to be solved if all goes well within the next 12 months.
4o Countries Face Food shortages worldwide
This article on Food shortages is about how there is many food shortages around the world. Where food is very short is in the Africa, and Central America. Many don't have crops because of the hot weather that is going on and people are in need of food. In Iraq causes of droughts leave people with no food which cause conflict. Also inflation in Africa causes them to have less food when they already do not have enough food. those are not the only countries that are in need of food so are others. This article also relates to my topic on water shortages which cause food not to grow because of how little water these countries have. Water shortages is a big cause of food shortages too. I think this ois sad how many people suffer from not haveing any food too.
Food shortages loom as wheat crop shrinks and prices rise
This article primarily focuses on food shortages around the world. Wheat grain is progressively decreasing and becoming so scarce, it is estimated to run out in as little as ten weeks. This article easily relates to climate change because researchers believe that crops are affected by global warming. I find it to be quite disturbing.
Food Shortages
The article I read is called Food shortages loom as wheat crop shrinks and prices rise. This article talked about how we are running out of wheat and the prices are rising. Experts said that climate change is causing the wheat to die down. Many populations are eating more meat now. The article relates to my topic on water shortages because like water there is a shortage in wheat crops. I think this article is very short and sweet and I have a better understanding on food shortages.

Life feels the effects of a changing climate
In this article "Life feels the effects of changing climate" it talks about the research that has been done to prve the effects of climate change. Cynthia Rosenzweig and her team of scientist have conducted over 28,800 studies on the impact of climate change and the effects it has on plants and animals. Over 90% of the studies have came back positive in the case of actually effecting the plants and animals. Cynthia and her team also have conducted studies on melting glaciers and over 95% have came back with evidence of glaciers melting. Climate change is becoming more of a problem and is something that is undeniable now. Their are steps that need to be made to help solve this issue before it's to late.

Life feels the effect of a changing climate
"Life feels the effect of a changing climate" it says that its mostly our, the humans fault that the world is having to face such a horrible situation as the one described in the Report. We have damaged the world and its natural features with our brutal actions. There is a part where it describes, how it is affecting our living things, but it explains the animals, for example there is a quote said by a scientist that show us the percentage of things damaged, which is "
" which clearly states that we are the ones who impacted it. It obviously, relates to what we have done to our living things and our home, the planet, it is very important because we live in it and well when we die our children will have to suffer way more than we did, so thats why we should all care even if its a little bit that we are duing we should are take our part. There is only one planet earth and our animals/ living things all need each other like a circle of life, and we have because changed the percentage if animal/living things polulation with the thins we do, and thats what i thinkNine out of 10 of the changes to plants and animals were in the direction expected as a response to warming
Oceans effected By Climate Change
In the article i read that climate change is having a huge impact on the ocean. Greenhouse gases are are causing the temperature to rise as well as the acidity of the water. Also circulation of the water is now becomming unpredictable. greenhouse gases are causing artmospheric build of carbon dioxide which is the cause fro the acidity of the water to incease. In thae past 3 decades the Caribbean alone has lost of 80 % of its coral reefs. These are just some of the effects that climate change is having over the ocean.
Climate Change
What i learned today about climate change is that the change in climate is effecting the ocean waters more acidic. The article is also talking about how the greenhouse effect is effecting the world
Climate affecting oceans
I read that the climate was affecting the oceans really bad, because the temperature is increasing. Also the coral reefs are in a new threat. They seem to grow much slower and their color looks as if bleached. And the sea animals are also affected by it.

Life Feels The Effects Of The Changing Climate
The earth is changing due to air pollution and contamination. This is a result of human carelessness and negligence. More people should become informed whether its about water/food shortages or global warming.
Life feels the Affects in change
In this article i read that because of the climate change its making the ecosystem change. Everything is becoming unbalance. The ocean gets warmer and the fishes aren't used to that which make them migrate to other places where you wouldn't expect them to. There are more forest fires also because of the different weather. This change is all because of us humans. we are making the earth more warmer every time we use our car or something like that. It said this problem is less likely to go away.
Climate Change
What i learned today was about how climate change is effecting the world and how its effecting their ecosystems and the natural resources in the other countries.One of the impacts is the fires that are happening around the world.
Climate Change
I read the article called Climate Change Has Major Impact On Oceans. I chose it because it relates to our topic on water shortages. The article said climate change is affecting oceans by increasing the temperature and acidity of seawater. It is also altering atmospheric and oceanic circulation.
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
well what i did today basically was skim and skam through all the articles that we went through, but while i was at it i learned that the wealthy people are getting all the water they need and want while others are suffering and dyeing to get a cup of water. Also that were running out of clean and wealthy water.
What i learned Today...
What I learned today was that there are many different reasons why water is becoming a problem around the world. War is one of the reasons why there is a water shortage. It makes many people migrate from where they are and they move to places where there is less water. Most people have water but they share it w/ animals and use it to bath in. That causes people to get sick. Almost half of the world doesnt have water.
Today I helped the people who were absent get set up and I kept track of time. when I was researching the topic of water shortages I learned that by 2025 more than half the nations in the world will have freshwater stress. By 2050 as much as 75 percent of the world's population could have freshwater scarcity. To fix the water shortage dilemma the US will need to use all water sources.
