The effects of these changes not only affect the surrounding environment, but it can lead to global consequences. Melting glaciers add to rising sea levels, which in turn increases coastal erosion and elevates storm surge as warming air and ocean temperatures create more frequent and intense coastal storms like hurricanes and typhoons. (Hancock) The earth naturally goes through stages of heating up and cooling down but   since humans have become more industrious carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases have raised the Earth’s temperature at an abnormal rate. The depletion of the ozone layer leads to an abnormal sequence of earth’s cycles. The ozone is a layer of gases that protects the earth from dangerous ultraviolet ...

       In the video “Celebrating the Comeback of the Burning River” the people being interviewed are discussing the occurrence and implementations that have changed the Cuyahoga River after the disaster that happened in 1969. They can view the future by looking at how these changes improved the life of the Cuyahoga River and what future modifications need to be made. The removal of the Gorge Dam in Cuyahoga Falls is one example of changes that can drastically affect the environment of the Cuyahoga River region. I feel this video was used to educate the population about how dangerous it can be if we are careless with the waste we produce and with the right regulations it can reverse most of the damage done. Bob Wysenski described how hard it was to start the clean up because people were still in the same mind frame that they were in before the disaster. Bob goes on to say when the industry people and the clean-up committee begin to communicate, they realize they bot...

I chose this class because the description sounded interesting.  What I think this class will be about? I think this class will be about how different things affect the environment and the science behind it.
