Antarctica is a very beautiful place where human beings can’t live. It is so cold that there that we as human doubt ourselves about its principles. Today, this place is in a great danger because of human being activity and their pressure on earth and the environment. As a cold place, antarctica is among the second coldest place on earth. We should not let the ice collapse because it can cause catastrophic storm, Increased deaths from heat waves and high sea level. In a web article “History” (n.d, paras 1-145) “Wherever humans go they have an impact on the environment, and Antarctica is no exception. Until recently, our record of stewardship has not been good. Within the last few years, though, government agencies involved in Antarctic research have become increasingly aware of the need to protect that continent's uniquely pristine status. Consequently, formerly polluted bases have been cleaned up, and new protocols have been approved by the Antarctic Treaty nations to limit pollution and other forms of environmental damage. It will never be possible to completely eliminate human impact, though, as long as people continue to travel and work in Antarctica. The impact of human activity on the Antarctic environment can be roughly divided into three broad categories: exploitation, pollution, and disturbance. To date, all human exploitation of Antarctica has been for biological resources. This may be due in no small part to the difficulty, even impossibility, of mineral and oil extraction in that environment. That situation may change as new technologies develop, though the Madrid Protocol to the Antarctic Treaty prohibits mining activity until at least the year 2041.Most of Antarctica's biological resources are now protected to some degree. That was not the case in the early years of human activity. Captain Cook's 1775 report of plentiful seals and whales in Antarctic waters brought hunters in great numbers to the southern ocean. The fur trade with China was beginning to open up and there were large amounts of money to be made. British sealers began harvesting at South Georgia as early as 1778. In 1792, American sealers began operations at South Georgia and Kergulen Island. Harvesting methods were brutal and efficient, and there was no regard to sustaining the breeding stock. Between 1790 and 1822 over 1,200,000 skins were taken from South Georgia alone, virtually exterminating the seals there. James Weddell noted that more than 100,000 South Shetland fur seal pups died of starvation during 1821-1822, after their mothers were killed and skinned. With a little prudent regulation, those islands might have provided a yearly harvest almost indefinitely. Instead, the population was rendered economically extinct.By 1825, six species of fur seal (Arctocephalus gazella, A. forsteri, A. tropicalis, A. australis, A. phillipii, and A. pusillus) had been hunted to near extinction around the coasts of Chile and Argentina, and on most of the sub-Antarctic and Antarctic islands.By the 1870s, after fifty years of being left alone, seal populations had begun to recover slightly. However, a brief resumption of "scorched earth" policies decimated them again. By the late nineteenth century, commercial fur seal hunting had effectively ended, and it has not been resumed. The hunting of southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) for their oil continued at varying levels up until the early 1960s. At times when elephant seals were scarce, the sealers would turn to penguins. Throughout the nineteenth and into the twentieth century, thousands of these birds were killed and rendered for their meager amount of oil. Penguin populations, however, were never decimated to the same degree as seals. In addition to the organized slaughter of seals and penguins for profit, both were occasionally killed for scientific reasons. Also, most early Antarctic expeditions augmented their food supplies with penguin eggs and penguin and seal meat. (The Astrolabe sailors, hungry for fresh meat, compared penguin favorably to chicken. Bellingshausen's men found it to be more palatable after it had been soaked in vinegar for a few days. Adrien de Gerlache considered it inedible.) Fresh meat was considered an effective means of preventing or curing scurvy, a disease which haunted nearly all early explorers. On occasions when an expedition's ship was unexpectedly beset or crushed by pack ice, the crew depended on seal and penguin meat for survival. The men in Nordenskjld's Antarctic expedition killed as many as 2000 penguins for food in 1903. Scott's northern party subsisted almost entirely on penguin and seal meat in 1912. They also depended on seal blubber to keep them warm, as did the men of Shackleton's marooned Ross Sea party in 1916. Because the species exploited for sustenance were usually different than those slaughtered for commercial purposes, the long term effect of these depredations was probably slight.By the late nineteenth to early twentieth centuries, whales had become the target for exploitation. Whaling technology had advanced enough such that whalers were finally able to hunt the fast-swimming rorquals that populated Antarctic waters in such abundance. Several whaling stations were set up, including ones on South Georgia and Deception Island, and hunting began in earnest. The ocean-going factory ship made its appearance in 1923, accompanied by fast, steam powered catcher boats, and the industry grew rapidly. Species after species was hunted until it became difficult to find, then the hunt was transferred to another animal. After the prized southern right whale, blue and humpback whales were hunted preferentially. Then the hunt shifted to fin whales, then sei whales. Sperm whales were also taken. During the 1937-1938 season, 33 whaling expeditions killed 46,000 whales. Between 1956 and 1965, 631,518 whales were killed. Up until 1935, England and Norway was responsible for about 90% of the catch. After 1937, Japan began to dominate the southern whaling industry, with the Soviet Union entering the scene in 1951. By the early-1960s, it became clear that whales had been overhunted. Catches per unit effort were declining dramatically (even though 41,000 whales were killed in Antarctic waters during the 1960-61 season). England ceased Antarctic whaling in 1963, and Norway followed suit in 1968. By then, though, many whale stocks had been reduced to small fractions of their estimated original populations; blue whales to 5%, fin and sei whales to 20%, right and humpback whales to 3%. Currently there is a moratorium on Antarctic factory ship whaling, though a certain level of "scientific" whaling is permitted. Japan takes advantage of that loophole to kill about 300 minke whales per year. Nonetheless, the level of exploitation has been reduced to near zero. The effect of the whale slaughter on the Antarctic ecosystem is still under study. Penguins that consume krill are abundant. Fur seals that use the same food source have not only recovered from the brink of extinction, but may in fact be more numerous than before they were hunted. In some areas they are overrunning breeding beaches and degrading the surrounding foliage, which in turn is destroying the breeding habitat of some sea birds. Whales take much longer to reproduce than seals and penguins, and it may be that the absence of these large predators from the ecosystem has provided extra food for their pinniped and avian competitors. This may be slowing the whales' recovery, since they are faced with increased competition for food. The equation is further complicated by human harvesting of krill. It is unknown how long it may take for the Antarctic ecosystem to return to its pre- exploitation equilibrium, if indeed it ever will. First negative effect visited on Antarctica by human presence was pollution; early expeditions simply tossed all of their garbage and sewage overboard. However, the small quantities of these pollutants generated by the expeditions of Kergulen and James Cook had a negligible impact. Later sailing expeditions also discarded their refuse into the environment, but the number of people involved and amount garbage generated was still relatively small.In addition, the garbage discarded or lost to storm damage was natural in origin (foodstuffs, feces, wood, fabric, metal) and so could be expected to degrade at some level (albeit slowly). Natural items in relatively small amounts are also unlikely to adversely affect indigenous biology. Even the photochemicals discarded by early photographers like Herbert Ponting and Frank Hurley were biodegradable.At times the level of refuse was higher than others. When a vessel was beset and crushed by the pack ice, such as the Antarctic in 1903 and the Endurance in 1915, a comparatively large amount of anthropogenic debris was deposited into the environment. In the early nineteenth century, sealers left large amounts of debris and garbage on numerous Antarctic and sub- Antarctic islands, including building materials, personal goods, food containers, and rusting, metal try pots. Whalers were even more prodigious in the amount of garbage they left behind. Whole whaling stations, like those at Grytviken and Leith Harbor on South Georgia, lie abandoned and crumbling. On the shore, huge oil storage tanks disintegrate into rust and numerous buildings fall into disrepair, while catcher boats wallow in the harbor. On some islands huge piles of bleached whale bones attest to the former slaughter.Despite the prodigious mess in some places, the level of historical pollution is still quite low when measured against the vastness of Antarctica.The twentieth century brought three notable changes in Antarctic pollution. First, technology began to produce materials which had never existed in nature. The advent of airplanes, diesel powered vessels, and motorized vehicles meant the introduction of gasoline and other refined fossil fuels to Antarctica. These and other manufactured chemicals have a notably deleterious effect on the environment when they are spilled, as they often were. (The aviation fuel requirement for America's IGY effort alone was over a million gallons, of which 140,000 was spilled into McMurdo Sound in 1956 when a fuel barge was crushed between ice floes.) The wreck of the Bahia Paraiso in 1989 provided a recent and dramatic example of the kinds of damage possible from fuel spills; several breeding bird populations were severely impacted. Also, until recently hazardous chemical wastes (solvents, laboratory chemicals, and the like) were poured directly into the environment, with unknown consequences.The modern era also brought with it other manufactured and synthetic products, like plastics, for which no biological breakdown system exists. In the cold and dry Antarctic environment, where unpainted wood can last for centuries, these synthetic products can be expected to persist essentially forever. Before they were banned as packing material, styrofoam peanuts were frequently shipped to McMurdo Station, where the persistent winds would blow them across the landscape. If one were to look hard enough, one could probably find bits of styrofoam along the entire length and breadth of the Ross Sea. Second, the level of human activity increased dramatically. The 1946-1947 U.S. Navy Antarctic Developments Project was the largest expedition ever launched. While no records exist, it is reasonable to presume that the quantity of garbage discarded into the environment that summer season was commensurate with the large number of people involved. (Until very recently, all shipboard garbage was tossed into the sea, worldwide.) As human activity in the Antarctic continued to increase, through the IGY and beyond, so too did the amount of trash, sewage, and hazardous chemicals introduced to the environment.In recent years, however, there have been some positive changes. The U.S. Antarctic Program, for instance, no longer dumps or burns garbage but removes all waste (except sewage) from the continent. Even better, most of this material is recycled. Third, a dramatic change in the pattern of garbage dumping and accumulation came with the establishment of permanent stations. Until that time, waste was spread out as ships and ground-based expeditions dumped their refuse wherever they happened to be. Minor accumulations, two to four years worth perhaps, built up around the campsites of the heroic era expeditions of Robert Scott, Ernest Shackleton, and others. (Many of these areas are now considered historical monuments, garbage and all.) Once stations became permanently inhabited, waste began to accumulate in one spot over a period of many years. Storms and high winds would spread some of the trash across a wider area, but most of it remained (or remains) localized. Before long many stations began to look like garbage dumps--and many of them still do. The impact of this waste concentration on the immediate environment has not been extensively studied. In some cases, the waste was dumped into the sea, from where it is extremely difficult to remove. For many years the U.S. program piled unwanted metal waste on the sea ice and waited for it to melt through or be carried away. Piles of debris are now scattered widely on the sea floor of McMurdo Sound and it is unlikely the area will ever be completely cleaned up. Trash was also bulldozed into the sea near McMurdo Station and Scott Base. The sea floor in Winter Quarters Bay, around Hut Point, and at Pram Point on Ross Island is littered with large amounts of debris. It is likely that this pattern has been repeated at other stations around the continent and on the Antarctic and sub- Antarctic islands. While it is obvious that the slaughter of animals and pollution of the environment clearly constitute a disturbance, the term is used here to refer to activities that do not fall specifically into either of those categories. For instance, the movement of ships through the pack and fast ice will displace (and may sometimes kill) seals and penguins. Helicopters and airplanes flying overhead will also disturb animals on the ice, causing them at times to scramble toward the water. As more and more vessels and aircraft operate in the Antarctic, this level of disturbance will increase. Construction activities have been known to disturb indigenous animal populations. The most egregious example of this was the French Antarctic Program's construction of a gravel runway at Dumont d'Urville Station, which involved dynamiting parts of a penguin rookery. The runway was subsequently destroyed by a storm and is not operational.In the course of their studies, scientists must often disturb animals and their environment. Researchers often capture and restrain seals and penguins to draw blood samples or attach depth recorders and satellite tracking devices. Long term population studies necessarily disturb the same animal groups for many years, and this may ultimately alter the animals' behavior toward humans. Recent penguin studies that used stomach lavage to study food preferences resulted in breeding failure and chick mortality. Other scientists have collected fish and invertebrate samples from the water column and sea floor, and these collections constitute a disturbance of the local ecology. How great is the disturbance caused by these activities is not known, but where collections have occurred for many years in the same place, it is conceivable that the local ecology has been altered.Finally, the mere presence of human establishments and the constant levels of human activity in a previously unoccupied environment constitutes a disturbance of that environment. Currently, this type of disturbance is highly localized, occurring primarily at the permanent stations and the frequently visited tourist destinations. Animal behavior, and the growth and distribution patterns of both vertebrates and invertebrates, may be altered. Once again, the level of alteration and its ultimate effects have not been extensively studied and are not well known”. The Antarctica situation is so critical that we, as human being are afraid about it. Things start to break over there, and it is only because of global warming. We need to make things change and focus on the most important things. We should not let the ice collapse because it can cause catastrophic storm, Increased deaths from heat waves and high sea level First, Catastrophic storm will be a result if the Antarctica ice collapse. Weather condition will be at an extreme condition and more death and instability will gain the world. Those storms named hurricane need heat to be born and actually, it is so destructive that it has many consequences. How does it affect the falling of the Antarctica ice?
First, we know that global warming is the major problem of all this. Second, the heat condensed because of the global warming creates those terrible hurricanes and actually can affect many areas as buildings, increase water flooding and death. According to Rosenberg (2008, paras. 8, 9) “Storm Surge. Approximately 90% of all hurricane deaths can be attributed to the storm surge, the dome of water created by the low pressure center of a hurricane. This storm surge quickly floods low-lying coastal areas with anywhere from 3 feet (one meter) for a category one storm to over 19 feet (6 meters) of storm surge for a category five storm. Hundreds of thousands of deaths in countries such as Bangladesh have been caused by the storm surge of cyclones. Wind Damage. The strong, at least 74 mph or 119 km/hr, winds of a hurricane can cause widespread destruction far inland of coastal areas, destroying homes, buildings, and infrastructure). This quotation gives a real disadvantage of what hurricanes can do when it happens and what it will cause. None of these disadvantages are good for us as human. We don’t need death those problems. We have the consequences of what we created and now there is still a chance that we can be eco friendly with the environment.
Second, we can have more death increased. More death will increase because of how the heat hit us. The planet will be at a higher degree of heating because of global warming and if it gets too higher, we can have more death. What happen is that, the sun will hit the earth third times than it does and people will be vulnerable. More heat and deshydratation will occur. People will be face with many injuries of it and die. It can also bring other disastrous elements that can really damage our skin. Ices that are collapsing in the Antarctica is a big problem because it is the only one that we have actually and those ice are unique for us to have an eye on them.
Third, greenhouses effects in the Antarctica will cause a rise on the sea level. Global warming is a serious problem that most of the countries in the world are fighting against. Sea levels may be affected by green houses effects because of the melting of the ices. If there are too many ices that melt in the Antarctica, then it means that we have a lot of water that will be added to our current sea and the level will be higher. Higher sea level will cause a serious injury to our planet because it may lead to flooding problems. Flooding problems is a consequence of higher sea levels. They will be water everywhere and we as humans will be more vulnerable to diseases and death. According to Grabiamowski & Strickland (n. d, paras.1, 2) “Glaciers and ice shelves around the world are melting [Source: Guardian Unlimited]. The loss of large areas of ice on the surface could accelerate global warming because less of the sun's energy would be reflected away from Earth to begin with (refer back to our discussion of the greenhouse effect). An immediate result of melting glaciers would be a rise in sea levels. Initially, the rise in sea level would only be an inch or two. Even a modest rise in sea levels could cause flooding problems for low-lying coastal areas. However, if the West Antarctic Ice Sheet were to melt and collapse into the sea, it would push sea levels up 10 meters (more than 32 feet), and many coastal areas would completely disappear beneath the ocean [Source: NASA]. The IPCC estimates that sea levels rose 17 centimeters (or about 6.7 inches) in the 20th century. Scientists project rising sea levels to continue through the 21st century, with levels increasing between 7 and 22 inches by 2100. The IPCC did not consider changes in ice flow in these projections due to a lack of scientific data. Sea levels will likely be greater than the range of projections, but we can't be sure by how much until more data can be gathered about the effect of global warming on ice flows”. According to this research by scientists, they estimate in the future that they will be a rising on sea levels because of the effects of global warming. Many bacteria will develop themselves and they are going to be more death and a world flooding problems. However, many scientists are fighting and trying to find a solution to this future problem. We have to look forward to find a solution and reduce the risk and to be able to have a safer environment. In conclusion, we have different options to help prevent the Antarctica from getting totally melted by the impact of global warming. Scientists should look on how they can come up with a radical solution and prevent this place that we can call historic to disappear.

New languages made by children
Do you know how many languages there are in the world? “ILU” do you know what this means? It means I LOVE YOU-can ”U“ believe that? Have you ever tried to create a new language? Believe it or not many young people have created a new language, and they use it in the text messages and in chatting online. These new languages are becoming more popular in these days. Many young people think this is the easiest and fastest way to connect with other people. The problems is that nobody can understand this kind of language because it does not have rules, and the grammar is not right. These languages include numbers, letters, commas and parentheses. These problems happen in many languages in the world not just in the English language. For example, in Saudi Arabia young children are using English letters when they chatting; its seem it is English words but unfortunately it is not. It’s English letters but Arabic meaning. Moreover, If we look at the background we will never see faster than this language. On the other hand, this language is not helpful for the young people because it will affect their grammatical skills, and it makes our native languages change.
First, most young people have problems with the spelling when they write, and that's because they mix their languages with the new key word or letters that nobody can understand; moreover, they make a big gap between the young people and old people because old people do not know what these new languages are, even though they are between student and the teacher, and they can affect these students in their work life. According to J, Lee (2002, paras. 37-38), “some teachers find the new writing style alarming. ‘First of all, it’s very careless, said Lois Moran, a middle school English teacher at St. Nicholas School in Jersey City. 'They should be careful to write properly and not to put these little codes in that they are in such a habit of writing to each other' said Ms. Moran, who has lectured her eighth-grade class on such mistakes.” That means students get an effect by these languages and that affects their skills and their education.
Second, the languages are changed. As we know these new languages have become trendy in recent years, and the only ones who use these languages are young people. On the other hand, if all of the citizens who are young people use these languages, what will old people be able to do? Should they have to learn it? So the problem is these languages are change from a languages to letters to numbers, and to slang, day by day our language is becoming unclear, and we do not know what will happen in the future. According to Weeks (2008, para.35), “Professor Ben Yagoda has been teaching English for 16 years. Students, he says, are getting brighter. But their abilities to write clearly have deteriorated appreciably in the past four of five years”. That means this new language was not here before, and people are carating new language by themselves that has no rules or law.
In conclusion, people should care about these new languages, because they will affect our life in the future, because we do not know if should use it or not. Is will it be a new language for today’s generation? We should teach our children a good language because this affects their grammar or their skills; we are losing the language, we are making the change, so we should be careful because we want to make sure that our children learning a good languages with good skills in the perfect way. We should avoid this problem that we may fall into.

Is the greenhouse effect a serous problem?
In “Antarctic Ice Collapse Linked to Greenhouse Gases” a web article about the collapsing of iceberg in the Antarctica by A. Doyle (2008), the author talks about how the greenhouse effects affects Antarctica. She also talked about a survey made for an estimation of how theses ice shelve will be affected in the future. The author gives us specific information about some information on previous icebergs that collapse some years ago. The main reason mentioned here was why there was the critical situation of Antarctica and its icebergs. The text gives us straight answers about the question and how it happened. We should not let Antarctica’s ice collapse because allowing greenhouse effect to continue will affect sea levels, it will cause desertification and it will affect agriculture.
First, greenhouse effects in Antarctica will cause a rise of the sea level. Global warming is a serious problem that most of the countries in the world are fighting against. Sea levels may be affected by greenhouse effects because of the melting of the ice. If there is too much ice that melts in Antarctica, then it means that we have a lot of water that will be added to our current sea and the level will be higher. Higher sea level will cause serious injury to our planet because it may lead to flooding problems. Flooding problems are a consequence of higher sea levels. There will be water everywhere and we as humans will be more vulnerable to diseases and death. According to Grabiamowski & Strickland (n. d, paras.1, 2) “Glaciers and ice shelves around the world are melting.The loss of large areas of ice on the surface could accelerate global warming because less of the sun's energy would be reflected away from Earth to begin with An immediate result of melting glaciers would be a rise in sea levels. Initially, the rise in sea level would only be an inch or two. Even a modest rise in sea levels could cause flooding problems for low-lying coastal areas. However, if the West Antarctic Ice Sheet were to melt and collapse into the sea, it would push sea levels up 10 meters (more than 32 feet), and many coastal areas would completely disappear beneath the ocean [Source: NASA]. The IPCC estimates that sea levels rose 17 centimeters (or about 6.7 inches) in the 20th century. Scientists project rising sea levels to continue through the 21st century, with levels increasing between 7 and 22 inches by 2100. The IPCC did not consider changes in ice flow in these projections due to a lack of scientific data. Sea levels will likely be greater than the range of projections, but we can't be sure by how much until more data can be gathered about the effect of global warming on ice flows”. According to this research by scientists, they estimate in the future that there will be a rising of sea levels because of the effects of global warming. Many bacteria will develop themselves and there is going to be more death and a world flooding problems. However, many scientists are fighting and trying to find a solution to this future problem. We have to look forward to find a solution and reduce the risk and to be able to have a safer environment.
Second, greenhouse effects in the Antarctica will cause desertification on our planet. Desertification is also a problem of global warming. According to M. Rosenberg (2007, paras.1, 2, 3), “Deserts, also known as arid lands, are regions that receive less precipitation then their potential evapotranspiration (evaporation from the soil and plants plus transpiration from plants equals evapotranspiration, abbreviated as ET). Deserts are located around the world. The little precipitation and rain that falls in deserts is usually erratic and varies from year to year. While a desert might have an annual average of 5 inches of precipitation, that precipitation may come in the form of 3 inches one year, none the next, 15 inches the third, and 2 inches the fourth. Thus, in arid environments, the annual average tells little about actual rainfall. Rain in the desert is often intense and since the ground is often impermeable (meaning that water isn't absorbed into the ground easily), the water runs quickly right into streams that only exist during rainfalls. The swift water of these ephemeral streams are responsible for most of the erosion that takes place in the desert. Desert rain often never makes it to the ocean, the streams usually end in lakes that dry up or the streams themselves just dry up. Almost all of the rain that falls in Nevada never makes it to a perennial river or to the ocean”. More heat due to global warming specifically in a desert area is catastrophic because the soil will just dry up and the process of absorbing water is reduced by the heat and arid areas will lose more water than they receive. No more precipitation in this area and only heat will dry the soil completely, and increase desertification in all areas.
Finally, greenhouse effects in Antarctica will affect agriculture. Agricultural production will be affected and leads to food shortages. Many countries still use agriculture to produce fresh and healthy food. If agricultural production is affected and lead us to food shortages then the world will be affected by malnutrition, starvation and death due to food and crop shortages. Agriculture production is essential to our lives because by that we can have good quality of food. We will have a serious food production and the world will be have alack of food. Human beings can not leave without food. Food is the only way that can help us survive. Moreover, methane and carbon dioxide are also responsible for the earth’s warming and their implication into the agricultural world.
In conclusion, greenhouse effects in Antarctica are a serious problem that we must take into consideration. Greenhouse effects on earth will be catastrophic and if we do not do something to prevent it, the world will be in danger. However, we have to reduce any risk that will lead to that and be more friendly with nature.

First, greenhouse effects in Antarctica will cause a rise of the sea level. Global warming is a serious problem that most of the countries in the world are fighting against. Sea levels may be affected by greenhouse effects because of the melting of the ice. If there is too much ice that melts in Antarctica, then it means that we have a lot of water that will be added to our current sea and the level will be higher. Higher sea level will cause serious injury to our planet because it may lead to flooding problems. Flooding problems are a consequence of higher sea levels. There will be water everywhere and we as humans will be more vulnerable to diseases and death. According to Grabiamowski & Strickland (n. d, paras.1, 2) “Glaciers and ice shelves around the world are melting.The loss of large areas of ice on the surface could accelerate global warming because less of the sun's energy would be reflected away from Earth to begin with An immediate result of melting glaciers would be a rise in sea levels. Initially, the rise in sea level would only be an inch or two. Even a modest rise in sea levels could cause flooding problems for low-lying coastal areas. However, if the West Antarctic Ice Sheet were to melt and collapse into the sea, it would push sea levels up 10 meters (more than 32 feet), and many coastal areas would completely disappear beneath the ocean [Source: NASA]. The IPCC estimates that sea levels rose 17 centimeters (or about 6.7 inches) in the 20th century. Scientists project rising sea levels to continue through the 21st century, with levels increasing between 7 and 22 inches by 2100. The IPCC did not consider changes in ice flow in these projections due to a lack of scientific data. Sea levels will likely be greater than the range of projections, but we can't be sure by how much until more data can be gathered about the effect of global warming on ice flows”. According to this research by scientists, they estimate in the future that there will be a rising of sea levels because of the effects of global warming. Many bacteria will develop themselves and there is going to be more death and a world flooding problems. However, many scientists are fighting and trying to find a solution to this future problem. We have to look forward to find a solution and reduce the risk and to be able to have a safer environment.
Second, greenhouse effects in the Antarctica will cause desertification on our planet. Desertification is also a problem of global warming. According to M. Rosenberg (2007, paras.1, 2, 3), “Deserts, also known as arid lands, are regions that receive less precipitation then their potential evapotranspiration (evaporation from the soil and plants plus transpiration from plants equals evapotranspiration, abbreviated as ET). Deserts are located around the world. The little precipitation and rain that falls in deserts is usually erratic and varies from year to year. While a desert might have an annual average of 5 inches of precipitation, that precipitation may come in the form of 3 inches one year, none the next, 15 inches the third, and 2 inches the fourth. Thus, in arid environments, the annual average tells little about actual rainfall. Rain in the desert is often intense and since the ground is often impermeable (meaning that water isn't absorbed into the ground easily), the water runs quickly right into streams that only exist during rainfalls. The swift water of these ephemeral streams are responsible for most of the erosion that takes place in the desert. Desert rain often never makes it to the ocean, the streams usually end in lakes that dry up or the streams themselves just dry up. Almost all of the rain that falls in Nevada never makes it to a perennial river or to the ocean”. More heat due to global warming specifically in a desert area is catastrophic because the soil will just dry up and the process of absorbing water is reduced by the heat and arid areas will lose more water than they receive. No more precipitation in this area and only heat will dry the soil completely, and increase desertification in all areas.
Finally, greenhouse effects in Antarctica will affect agriculture. Agricultural production will be affected and leads to food shortages. Many countries still use agriculture to produce fresh and healthy food. If agricultural production is affected and lead us to food shortages then the world will be affected by malnutrition, starvation and death due to food and crop shortages. Agriculture production is essential to our lives because by that we can have good quality of food. We will have a serious food production and the world will be have alack of food. Human beings can not leave without food. Food is the only way that can help us survive. Moreover, methane and carbon dioxide are also responsible for the earth’s warming and their implication into the agricultural world.
In conclusion, greenhouse effects in Antarctica are a serious problem that we must take into consideration. Greenhouse effects on earth will be catastrophic and if we do not do something to prevent it, the world will be in danger. However, we have to reduce any risk that will lead to that and be more friendly with nature.

Advantages of antarctica collapsing
In “Antarctic Ice Shelf Collapse Blamed On More Than Climate Change” by Aberystwyth University, the author talked about a well known iceberg called Larsen B who collapsed in 2002. However, there is some research made by some scientists affirming that the shelf was already collapsing before the summer. He also talked about who was responsible of all this that is happening in the Antarctica region. The blame was not only on climate but in major part by global warming. He told us if the ices collapse what damage it can bring us. Now there is a focus on the Larsen C shelf which is a safer area than the others. To be able to continue his study professor Glasser hope to raise some funds that will help him continue his research and prevent future catastrophic problems in this field. The collapsing ice in the Antarctica can be an advantage and provide us new sea transportation, frozen regions of earth may experience more plant growth and less need for energy consumption to warm cold places.
First, Antarctic ice collapsing will open new sea transportation for humans. New sea transportation will be an advantage to us because due to the frozen region of Antarctica navigation on the sea in that region is impossible. Greenhouse effects will help us in a way that Northwest Passage through Canada's formerly-icy north will be open to sea transportation. It will save people money by allowing them to choose airplane or sea navigation. This can bring an enormous progress to our transportation and allow us to discover more things than we weren’t able to when the Antarctica zone was frozen. It can be an international discovery for human beings and save money to them.
Second, Antarctica ice collapsing will help frozen regions of earth experience more plant growth. Regions on the Antarctica will recover from glacier and the soil will allow plants to grow and allow human beings to live there. It will be a new living place for people. More plant growth means new sign of life and it will bring a significant importance to our planet. More plants and a sign of life in this region also imply a lot of food productivity and a benefit for agriculture. Agriculture is important to our life because by that we have fresh and healthy food. It will be just another region to explore.
Third, Antarctica ice collapsing will benefit us to use less need for energy consumption to warm cold places. Les energy use to warm cold place will benefit us by saving a lot of money. We will be able to save money and invest it where we need it the most. Warming Antarctica require a lot of money and greenhouse effect will just cut that need of us to spend money to warm it. We can invest this money in many fields, health care, develop weapons and even build new roads.
In conclusion, Antarctica problems are a result of man overusing things. We have to reduce greenhouses effects and avoid this kind of problem in the future. Those advantages will be very important for man kind and allow us to do new things.

Is greenhouses a serious problem?
In “Antarctic Ice Collapse Linked to Greenhouse Gases” a web article about the collapsing of iceberg in the Antarctica by Alister. D (2008), the author talks about how the greenhouses effects affect the Antarctica. He also talked about a survey made for an estimation of how theses ices will be affected in the future. The author gives us specific information about some information on previous icebergs that collapse some years ago. The main reason mentioned here was why the critical situation of the Antarctica and his icebergs. The text gives us straight answer about the question and how it happened. We should not let the Antarctica’s ice collapse because it will affect sea levels, it will cause desertification and it will affect agriculture.
First, greenhouses effects in the Antarctica will cause a rise on the sea level. Global warming is a serious problem that most of the countries in the world are fighting against. Sea levels may be affected by green houses effects because of the melting of the ices. If there are too many ices that melt in the Antarctica, then it means that we have a lot of water that will be added to our current sea and the level will be higher. Higher sea level will cause a serious injury to our planet because it may lead to flooding problems. Flooding problems is a consequence of higher sea levels. They will be water everywhere and we as humans will be more vulnerable to diseases and death. According to Grabiamowski & Strickland (n. d, paras.1, 2) “Glaciers and ice shelves around the world are melting [Source: Guardian Unlimited]. The loss of large areas of ice on the surface could accelerate global warming because less of the sun's energy would be reflected away from Earth to begin with (refer back to our discussion of the greenhouse effect). An immediate result of melting glaciers would be a rise in sea levels. Initially, the rise in sea level would only be an inch or two. Even a modest rise in sea levels could cause flooding problems for low-lying coastal areas. However, if the West Antarctic Ice Sheet were to melt and collapse into the sea, it would push sea levels up 10 meters (more than 32 feet), and many coastal areas would completely disappear beneath the ocean [Source: NASA].

Many bacteria will develop themselves and they are going to be more death and a world flooding problems. However, many scientists are fighting and trying to find a solution to this future problem. We have to look forward to find a solution and reduce the risk and to be able to have a safer environment.

Human beings can not leave without food. Food is the only way that can help us survive. According to R Preston & Leng (1989, paras 1-4) “The greenhouse effect, or increasing world temperature, is clearly ascribable to the major industrial countries of the northern hemisphere as some 50% of the increased retention of energy by the atmosphere is due to the accumulation of carbon dioxide as a result of combustion of fossil fuel. Methane production appears to be a major issue although it only presently contributes 18% of the overall warming. It is accumulating at a fast rate and is apparently responsible for some of the depletion of the protective ozone layer. Methane arises largely from natural anaerobic ecosystems, rice paddies and ruminant animals. The rates of accumulation of methane and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have changed dramatically in the last 10 years. Prior to this, the rise in world temperatures and composition of the atmosphere had changed little but is now in an exponential growth period. Undoubtedly, carbon dioxide and methane concentrations must be stabilized in the very near future or the future of the earth is threatened. The developing (non-industrial) countries must insist on a decreased utilization of fossil fuels by the industrial countries. It will be essential that they also develop industrial and agricultural practices that minimize fossil fuel use and methane generation. Burning of fossil fuels is the predominant factor but deforestation and burning of forests and pastures have enormous effects also.” According to this statement, methane and carbon dioxide are also responsible for the earth’s warming and their implication into the agricultural world.
In conclusion, greenhouses effects in the Antarctica are a serious problem that we must take into consideration. Greenhouses effect on earth will be catastrophic and if we do not do something to prevent it, the world will be in danger. However, we have to reduce any risk that will lead to that and be more friendly with nature.

Amphibian Crises is getting worse
In this article, “Major Initiative Proposed To Address Amphibian Crises”, the author explains that amphibian extinction and declines are getting worse every day. According to scientists, 32 percent of all amphibian species are endangered as well as threatened. Amphibians play an important role in the ecosystem as well as they have ecological ripple effects. Amphibians are sensitive animals that need protection against ultraviolet radiation, pollutants, pesticides, habitat loss, invasive species and fungal diseases. There are many programs that are being carried on in order to protect and recover the amphibian, such as training, monitoring, salvage operations, disease management, captive breeding as well as other efforts. There are a lot of concerns about the amphibian disappearance. They can disappear in six months. A lot of amphibians have disappeared in North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. It is necessary to create laws and policies that contribute to the protection of the amphibian’s species in order to save some of them.
In many places in the world people do not care about amphibians. After a while this kind of animals is going to disappear, and to solve these problems, we need to protect them, because they have heart and soul and we need to save them from the pollution. There are many ways to protect amphibians, namely stop hurting the environment, helping them propagate, and being eating them.
First, because of what is happening in the world today by global warming and pollution, day by day we are going to lose amphibians, and to protect these animals we need to stop hurting the environment by cutting trees and leaving the damages without cleaning them. This damage can kill large numbers and decrease the level of amphibians’ species. However, to protect amphibians’ species we need to take care by making the amphibians’ area in good condition, not collecting them for fun, and avoiding killing them, so they can live better.
Second, we are losing many kinds of species, which means we need to make them become more and more by making them live in good area that makes them have sex to help them propagate, because many kinds of amphibians have disappeared. So we need to make them have a strong species, we can save amphibians from disappearing. Moreover, some people have asked how could we make them grow? They usually live in the sea or in the land, and they do not have enough food to eat, and many of them have disappeared because of the high temperature of sea or lands. Actually, we can help amphibians if we at least can move them to the places that have low temperature. Another solution is to build a clinic that takes care of amphibians.
Finally, in many countries people like to eat amphibians. On the other hand, other countries like to collect them for sale or for fun, and some amphibians we can use to get medicine from to cure some human disease. Unfortunately, if we do not do something to stop these problems we will lose animals that play a real serious role in our ecosystem, and we will face real problems that affect human life.
In conclusion, pollution and global warming are very important issues we should take care of because these affect not only human beings but also amphibians and the environment. I hope people really care about animals the same as they care about human life. We need to feel amphibians as one serious part in our life. We can be happy if there are many amphibians trying every single day to fight to survive, and stay alive.

Facebook Advantage
How many friends do you have? Can you believe that you can stay with them 24 hours? Today Facebook is the famous social network sites that can give you a chance to connect with your friends easily. Day by day Facebook is becoming trendy between people. Many people use Facebook everyday; they spend the time by sending messages and keeping in touch with their friends. And these people think that Facebook is like part of their habit. Some people are wondering what Facebook is? Facebook is a website that you can add many friends, add pictures, send messages to your friends and watch news.
First, communication is the most important part of our live, without columniation people can't have friends, and they can't have relationship. Today Facebook can give people chance to find their parents. For example, there are many people get married from Facebook, they ca find their parents by go in Facebook and looking for the person that they want by know all information about that person like age, habit, and information about his personality. On the other hand, people can meet each other and have friends from many countries. Facebook is made to many purposes that people who live far from their families they can connect with them easily. According to Unregistred (n.d. para.6), “Communication is a universal bonding agent, therefore, it must be understood in order to achieve any goal in today's competitive world. In order for today's students to be prepared for the future, it is important that communication development is accentuated throughout the educational process. Once the seeds of motivation sprout in the minds of students', the students will flourish academically.” As we know many people travel to other courtiers to study or to find jobs in other countries, and sometimes they cant call their families so, Facebook is the good way to connect with your families by send messages and meet them online, and it's not expansive. For example; many people do not use phone to call their parents from other countries, they use Facebook as to communicate with their parents and friends by post their pictures on Facebook to let their parents and friends see it or by text messages. As we know many cafe shop serves a free network, so many people can use the internet to communicate with their friends by using Facebook by free without caste them money.
Second, Facebook helps people showcase ideas around the world. Facebook allows people to post their ideas for free. The main reason Facebook is allowing people to share their idea is that, the idea was starting from a student at Havard University that developed this idea for hobbies. Soon it got big and people all over the nearest country heard about him and it became bigger. People can show their idea, chat with people and connect with each other. Showing your idea on a site where it is free of charge is a thing that human can’t afford to lose. Expressing yourself freely is a chance that Facebook is giving people to express themselves and participate in the development of democracy. Democracy is the real meaning of sharing ideas around the world. In today’s world countries that are not under democracy are in war like Zimbabwe and other countries. For example I have the chance to share my idea online and all over the world without restriction and without fear of having the consequences. According to Laure Locke (2007, para.5), “That's the critical part of it. Our whole theory is that people have real connections in the world. People communicate most naturally and effectively with their friends and the people around them. What we figured is that if we could model what those connections were, [we could] provide that information to a set of applications through which people want to share information, photos or videos or events. But that only works if those relationships are real. That's a really big difference between Facebook and a lot of other sites. We're not thinking about ourselves as a community — we're not trying to build a community — we're not trying to make new connections.” The author of Facebook is giving us the real reason of Facebook and what make it different from other sites. It is not just a site but also a living site that allows people meet each other and interact with each other.

First, communication is the most important part of our live, without columniation people can't have friends, and they can't have relationship. Today Facebook can give people chance to find their parents. For example, there are many people get married from Facebook, they ca find their parents by go in Facebook and looking for the person that they want by know all information about that person like age, habit, and information about his personality. On the other hand, people can meet each other and have friends from many countries. Facebook is made to many purposes that people who live far from their families they can connect with them easily. According to Unregistred (n.d. para.6), “Communication is a universal bonding agent, therefore, it must be understood in order to achieve any goal in today's competitive world. In order for today's students to be prepared for the future, it is important that communication development is accentuated throughout the educational process. Once the seeds of motivation sprout in the minds of students', the students will flourish academically.” As we know many people travel to other courtiers to study or to find jobs in other countries, and sometimes they cant call their families so, Facebook is the good way to connect with your families by send messages and meet them online, and it's not expansive. For example; many people do not use phone to call their parents from other countries, they use Facebook as to communicate with their parents and friends by post their pictures on Facebook to let their parents and friends see it or by text messages. As we know many cafe shop serves a free network, so many people can use the internet to communicate with their friends by using Facebook by free without caste them money.
