Well I was pretty surprised to have my earth science lab teacher as a guest speaker. I always enjoy his lectures so this one was no different except we have not discussed climate change yet. His lecture was more terrifying then anything. I know that we can not change the impact that we as humans have caused but we can begin to do things differently. Although, it seems that to educate everyone and to come to a consensus about the changes that need to be made could almost never happen at this rate. It’s sad to think that some species will not be able to survive the impact that we have all made on this planet. Like Frank stated it is too late for some effects to be avoided. The scariest thought is that is as long as the atmosphere is heating the ice in the artic will continue to melt at three times the rate that it reproduces and due to the perma-frost releasing the strongest green house gas, methane, which accelerates the rate of warming. This will ultimately be the cause of the non-existence of the Greenland ice cap. It will all end in a domino effect that will over take the world and will be the end of our world eventually.
