If the world were to change by three degrees it does not seem as that would do too much to the way we live today but after watching the video Six Degrees Could Change the World by National Geographic I know that this is not true. We are already seeing affects of this global change and it is definitely not for the better of human kind. The occurrences of bushfires in Australia are increasing as well as spreading to new areas interfering with citizens. The mid West in the United States will change into desert land as if it were the 1930’s all over again with the giant dust storms. England on the other hand is somewhat benefitting from this change well at least for now. Wine country is helping the citizens of England to make a living and to succeed in this mysterious time.  Sled dogs are now being abandoned in Greenland because now it is possible to get around the land with other means of transportation and sled dogs are no longer needed for transportation. It was shocking to hear that with a decrease of six degrees the world experienced an ice age. The number six does not seem to be that big of a number but yet it is very threatening. What if the world experienced a global heat wave like the heat wave that hit France in 2003? To hear that multiple of thousand people died year after year from the heat wave and all of the other weird phenomenon that seems to be occurring is very upsetting. To know that if we stay down this same road we will ruin any hope we have for a future. We need to begin and promote a change that will slow down this temperature rise for another thousand years.
