Opinion essay complete

In this essay I will be discusing the issue of global warming. This issue is very important because it involbes all the world. I will examine arguments for and against this topic and I will also draw a conclusion based on the facts

First, the global warming is a very important problem that we have to solve. Global warming is the increase of the temperature in all the world. National Geographic website on 2007 explain us the impacts of the increasing temperatures. One of the impacts is the ice melting worlwide. That simple issue brings a lot of horrible consecuences. One of those consecuences is the rise of the sea level. This riseing became faster over the last century. By the end of the century sea levels are expected to rise between 18 and 59 centimeters. Also the ice of the mountains will disappear, so we will not have fresh water to drink.

Other very important consecuence of global warming is the destruction of the ozono layer. The enormous quantitis of CO2 in the air are destroying the ozono layer getting the UV rays hit the Earth directly affecting all the popullation. If the ozono layer disappear, the levels of radiation will increase and of course all people all people affected. There are many diseases caused by UV rays like: skin cancer and eyes problems. Also this may cause problems in the nature, destroying vegetation, that form part of other animals diet, this will affect all thr food chain

On the website thelegraph.co.uk they say  that global warming dosen't exist. They say that the Earth was hotter 1000 years ago, but I think that the website is wrong.  Global warming is a very important actual problem. Many scientist said that they are  searching ways to stop it and prevent the future impacts

Finally I will like to remind you that the only way to prevent this horrible catastrof named global warming is reducing the contamination. That means, reduce. This is a auful reality, global warming exist and we have to do all posibie things to stpo it.
Can I count on you?

Opinion essay

Some impacts from increasing temperatures are already happening.

  • Ice is melting worldwide, especially at the Earth’s poles. This includes mountain glaciers, ice sheets covering West Antarctica and Greenland, and Arctic sea ice.
  • Researcher Bill Fraser has tracked the decline of the Adélie penguins on Antarctica, where their numbers have fallen from 32,000 breeding pairs to 11,000 in 30 years.
  • Sea level rise became faster over the last century.
  • Some butterflies, foxes, and alpine plants have moved farther north or to higher, cooler areas.
  • Precipitation (rain and snowfall) has increased across the globe, on average.
  • Spruce bark beetles have boomed in Alaska thanks to 20 years of warm summers. The insects have chewed up 4 million acres of spruce trees.

Other effects could happen later this century, if warming continues.

  • Sea levels are expected to rise between 7 and 23 inches (18 and 59 centimeters) by the end of the century, and continued melting at the poles could add between 4 and 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters).
  • Hurricanes and other storms are likely to become stronger.
  • Species that depend on one another may become out of sync. For example, plants could bloom earlier than their pollinating insects become active.
  • Floods and droughts will become more common. Rainfall in Ethiopia, where droughts are already common, could decline by 10 percent over the next 50 years.
  • Less fresh water will be available. If the Quelccaya ice cap in Peru continues to melt at its current rate, it will be gone by 2100, leaving thousands of people who rely on it for drinking water and electricity without a source of either.
  • Some diseases will spread, such as malaria carried by mosquitoes.
  • Ecosystems will change—some species will move farther north or become more successful; others won’t be able to move and could become extinct. Wildlife research scientist Martyn Obbard has found that since the mid-1980s, with less ice on which to live and fish for food, polar bears have gotten considerably skinnier.  Polar bear biologist Ian Stirling has found a similar pattern in Hudson Bay.  He fears that if sea ice disappears, the polar bears will as well.

Clean and Renewable energy: This is second only to climate change. The human race is faced with the environmental problem of cleaning up or replacing the burning of fossil fuels that enhanced industrial revolution during 18th century. Unless a clean and renewable energy is found as an alternative, our planet risks being turned into an inhabitable and hostile not fit for human survival. There is need for the development and adoption of clean energy.

News Draft

Welcome to the sports section

Today I will talk about the chilean football transfer, in especial Claudio Bravo, Alexis Sanchez and Arturo Vidal

To start recently Claudio Bravo was transfered to the F.C. Barcelona. Also this club signed with the german player Mark Ter'Stegen, so Bravo would have to work hard to be the oficial player. The manager of Barcelona liked very much the intervention of Bravo in this Wourld Cup 2014, there for Luis Enrique didin't doubt in incorporating the chilean captain in his club. Bravo says that its very challenging to be the goalkeper of an important club,  also he said that he is very excited of replacing V.Valdes, who was a historical player in F.C. Barcelona

Another famous chilean football player is Alexis Sanchez. ''The wonder child'' was transfered to the Arsenal of England. A club that have very high expectations for next year's Premier League and on Champions League. To acomplish these goals Alexis plays a fundamental part on this club, since he mark's goals. His intervention on his last club, Barcelona, and in the World Cup captured Arsene Wenger, he is though the favorite player for the next year's tournaments. After the practice , Walcott, a partner of alexis in the Arsenal comented on Twiter that he and Sanchez would be the deadly force for the next years tournaments

Finally the King Arturo Vidal has recived a lot of request to incorpore him to those clubs, such as the Real Madrid, Barcelona Paris Sain German and Manchester United. Louis Van Gaal, the manager of the Manchester, says he need a midlfield like vidal, and he will do as much he can to incorpore Vidal. The Red Devils put an offer of 80 millions dolars, but Juventus didn't anwered yet. Also this England club reserved the t-shirt number 7 for Vidal, a historic number in that club. It was used by David Beckam and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Dear sir major Sumonte,
I am writing to protest against the stadium that will be built in our neighbourhood. I understant that it is difficult to change the stadium of town, but have you thought about the problem that it can bring, it will affect the community seriously, the society that we buildt with effort and time.

I am particulary concerned about the families that live next to the stadium. With the stadium the traffic will increase. Our neighbourhood is very pasific, we play outside on the street with my two brothers. From one day to another a lot of cars will pass by and we will not be able to play there anymore. With all the neughbourhood , it occurs the same.

In addition, the violence will also increase. We don't have alarm or a thing like that because there is not delinquence in out town. We have only one police officer in the town and they will not be able to support the town witth all the new vioñence. Also it will bring drugs and that is a very serous problem. 

Furthermore, the stadium will bring acoust pollution. All the neighbourhood will be hearing all the noise of the stadium everyday, and the noise of all the cars that came to the stadium. 

It is for these reasons that I think you should recognise the damage of the stadium in our town.

I look foward to your response
