Almost goodbye

What up my peeps

In any case, as it's my last and final post, I'm going to be going into more depth with a subject in which we've already discussed. Now some of you may be thinking '' But Matt, how could one subject possibly take up two posts. It just doesn't make any sense''. Now with most writers you would probably be right. But not with me. Oh no, I, am the best writer there ever was. Some would even call me the king of writers, or something like that. And, being the king of writers, I can do whatever I want and make one subject be two posts.

Anyway as some, all or none of you have guessed this subject will be about (drumroll) ..... Sharks part II. Why you may ask? Because sharks are cool that's why.

Now this post isn't actually just about sharks because I couldn't enough new stuff on sharks to make an entirely new post so I'm not. It's actually going to be on most of the animals in world. Here we go...

First up to bat we have the most obvious Polar Bears. Polar bears live on ice caps, and because these are rapidly disappearing, they're losing their home.
Polar bears are actually drowning because they can't find any ice to stand on, so they keep swimming and swimming (Dory!) until they eventually drown. That's an extremely terrible thing to do to these animals. These bears are even starving to death because all of their food has gone to colder places and they can't follow them because they would drown trying to get there.

Next is all the aquatic birds. Ducks, Geese and all the other aquatic birds similar to them are being confused because they are leaving too late for their migration and coming to early. This completely messes up the food chain. For example, these birds will come back before their food sources is sufficient and so ducks will starve. Also because of global warming their breeding grounds are drying up and even having droughts there, so ducks can't breed there. And so, we'll be having so many less ducks and Geese around. And while I agree Geese are terrifying ducks are adorable and should be saved.

Last but not least is the coral reefs. Coral reefs are almost entire ecosystems underwater housing thousands of various types of fish and undersea life. If the coral reefs die out you can bet all those other animals are in trouble too. In one year alone, over 16% of the coral reefs have died out. That's an insane amount. If that keeps up it won't take centuries for the world to change completely, only a few decades. The reason this happens is similar to what happened to sharks in the experiment I talked about in my 5th post when they got put into carbonated water. Coral reefs are much more fragile than sharks however, and so even though many other fish aren't dying out because of the elevated carbon in the water, coral reefs are, and fast.

I made this post to show that we aren't the only ones being affected by global warming. We're also affecting every other living things on this planet and it's not fair to them. They don't contribute to our global problem at all, yet they're the ones who pay for it. Not only that but they're paying for our mistakes with their lives. Yet some people still don't think that global warming is even happening.

I made this post to show people that things need to change. Something drastic is going to need to change in the world or how we do things, or else these magnificent creatures deaths will continue to happen, and continue to be our fault.

Till next time,
Matt

  1. Hey Matthew! I'm just reading up on all of your posts and I think that they are very interesting. You put the best information into your posts and it makes them a good read for pretty much anyone. I also like how you have a good balance between humor and information, because it means that you can keep your readers interested and laughing, but they can still realize the severity of your topic.
