Global Warming

Maybe I'm a pessimist but global warming scares me. MSNBC is running a story entitled, "Ancient ice shelf breaks free in Canadian Arctic." Imagine if all or most of the ice in the world was to melt and a shallow layer of water was to cover the entire Earth. What would the human race have to do to survive? Remember, most types of crops cannot grow if there is too much water. It might be interesting to ask our students to blog about this issue. Even better, why couldn't they make documentaries of pollution or the fight against pollution in their own communities. These documentaries could be vodcasted. There's be no reason why schools across the world couldn't link up and publish collaborative information on the best ways to eliminate pollution.
