My name is Daouda, I am a student at Laguardia Community College. In this blog I am responding to an assignment in my ENG 101 composition class on climate change. The assignment asked me to write an essay about the science of the climate change referring to the evidence of the scientific consensus of the climate change and the "Anthropocene" from "The Global Warming Reader" by Bill McKibben.

The world biggest crisis is global warming, climate change. The fact is that we have noticed everyday in the world the natural disasters are happening, the temperature is increasing, the seas level rising making the habitation impossible in some islands, diseases etc...(P9-10 introduction the Global Warming Reader)
However, it was written by the scientific consensus on climate change that in the reports on the Intergovernmental Panel on climate change that human activities are the main cause of the climate change . The increase of the greenhouse gas concentrations transformed to carbon dioxide is  causing  the warming. (scientific consensus on climate change). Moreover, the atmosphere is polluted by the carbon dioxide that we are using everyday for  our activities. 
According to the "Anthropocene" the nature is being modifying by human action. The world population increases and half of the land surface have been transformed by human action.(P70) The "Anthropocene" Meaning while, the burning of oil and coal is affecting the atmosphere and make the temperature warmer.
To sum up, human activities are the main caused of the climate change and the scientists have proved it by giving evidences. greenhouse gases harm the atmosphere and affect human`life. Therefore, to save the earth we need to protect our nature.

  1. Dear Daouda ,this is Rogelio from your english 101 class and I have been assigment to respond to your blog . I like how in your blog you start talking about global warming and the effect its havingon our planet . But one thing about it is you can organize your facts and ideas better. For example, frist you can say what causes the green house gases , who mainly to blame , and after explain in better detail what is a green house gas and how it relates to global warming .Your citation also needs big time work in this blog .Decent blog but could be improved .
