I’m doing a research project for 8th grade Social Studies. To help answer my thesis question, I would like to take a poll. Please, no spam answers or effortless answers.

Do you know that air pollution and global warming could lead to:

Trillions of dollars wasted on attempts to stop global warming
Damage to our lakes, causing fish to die and slowing our eco-system

Increased death rates from deadly fumes in the air (4.6 million people die per year today!)

Increased temperature resulting in the number and intensity of floods, droughts, hurricanes, heat waves, and species extinction

This is not all. There are many things that will hurt us. Please answer honestly.
Aks other people you know if they know about these effects. I need a lot of results.

Ok, so it’s a fact that we’re destroying the environment. My question is, do you think it’s possible to save the environment and reverse the damage that has been done? Are scientists working actively with politicians to disciver alternative sources of energy that don’t cause global warming and excessive pollution? Or do we just not care? I am going to buy a hybrid so that I can do my part. I’m not a granola crunchy environmental freak, but I see way too many stories these days about climate changes and the ill effects of these changes on the world…like tsunamis, heat waves, etc.
