The author of this article thinks that all of the good animals, plants, and bacteria are being killed off or going extinct whether it be directly or indirectly caused by global warming. It also seems like all of the bad organisms are reproducing out of control. The whole world is being thrown out of balance and all of the clues point back to global warming. For example, ticks, mosquitoes, and poison ivy are thriving off of global warming, while butterflies, puffins, and penguins are slowly but surely dying off and becoming more endangered everyday due to global warming. So global warming is affecting everyone and everything.

June 1st, 2010 "Noise Pollution Becoming a Threat to Fish" ** [] This article explains in detail how much noise pollution, also known as sound pollution is threatening aquatic animals such as fish. This noise is created by airplanes, and boats. However, the noise that mainly effects the fish are the boats. Because of trade, the ships must travel over the fish filled water. If all of the fish start to die off, that can really take a toll on the fishing industry. Thus, a chain effect occurs. All of the noise threatens their ability to communicate, hear warning signs of predators, and reproduce. Overall, because of trade the fishing industry may start to worsen.

**3.** May 20th, 2010 "Global Warming: Overview" by Andrew C. Revkin [] This article explains as global warming is becoming more a serious issue, it becomes more complex and confusing for the government. This is because they know they need to make a rapid change and with all the items needed to make a change like solar/wind power and alternative fuels, they just don't have the time. This is because they are focused on other important issues such as healthcare and our economy. The other countries who are in this, such as developiing nations can't pay for the sources needed to help us, which means other rich nations need to step to the plate. Obama has said in conferences that he has made investments to do these things, but nothing has become legalized. Also, only about a few people feel strongly about global warming, while most people are still confused on what to do or what Global Warming really is.
