Tides

The main source of the world's energy today is fossil fuels. These fuels are dead animals and plants that have been disintegrating under the earth for hundreds of years forming into rocks and liquids. It sounds harmless, right? But in reality, the amount of carbon output that comes from burning these fuels is destroying the ozone layer around our planet. Without this layer of our atmosphere, life as we know it will cease to exist. Not only are we adding to the mass effects of global warming, but we are running out of fossil fuels. If we rely completely on the energy from fossil fuels, the day we don't have them anymore electricity around the world will stop.

If we don’t stop polluting our environment with carbon, we will suffer drastic changes to our lives. For example:

1) The world’s water supply will continue to dwindle causing more exasperating droughts and contribute to the never ending fight for fresh water resources.
2) There will be no more major league baseball. The ash tree, which is used to make the wooden bats, is near disappearing due to killer beetles and global warming.
3) Fly fishing will be a thing of the past. Rainbow trout are starting to disappear due to much warmer water temperatures. Scientists think that by the next century, these fishies will be extinct.
4) The whole sport of snow skiing could possibly be destroyed. With warmer climates and less snow, its harder to find slopes for skiers to train.
5) No more coral reefs. The carbon output that is seeping into our oceans is destroying most of the species in our reefs.
6) Say goodbye to your Indonesian island getaway. The country’s environment minister says that by 2030 more than 2,000 of the country’s tropical islands will be under water due to the drastic rise in sea levels.
7) No more lobster or salmon dinners. Forty percent of the fish have disappeared form their natural habitat.
8) Recently scientists discovered fish that change colors and fish that “walk.” Marine biologists think that the fish and sharks will be extinct by the time we get to take a close look at them.
9) Say goodbye to French fries because research states that the warmer temperatures are killing the relatives to potatoes.
And so many other things that we don't even think about will be gone.
