Global Warming and Math

When most think of global warming, they think of science but, global warming relates to math too. With global warming comes many statistics which include ratio, time, percentage, graphs, amounts, and probability. Some examples are graphs (such as the one above) that show the impact of global warming and how it is becoming greater throughout the years. Also, there were many percentages such as those saying how much of an increase of decrease there was in elements such as water and ice. Ratio is involved to provide a comparison between the amounts of certain elements in time and time was involved to show how over time, the effects of global warming have become greater. Probability was used to give an idea of how bad global warming can become if not stopped. Lastly, amounts were used to represent how much of certain elements are being effected by global warming and how much may be left in time. To conclude, math is a very big part of global warming.

Global Warming

In school, we were assigned a research task and we had the choice of our topic. For my paper, I chose Global Warming. The reason I chose this category was because I am very interested in the environment and I knew that there was a lot about Global Warming I do not yet know. I was really only aware of how Global Warming was effecting the arctic and I wanted to know how it effects other places. Something very interesting I learned was that Global Warming is actually beneficial to some. It is beneficial to some reindeer because the moisture in the air, from the heat, is making plants grow more rapidly which makes finding food easier for these reindeer. During this process, I have learned how Global Warming is changing places other than the arctic. I have learned how it impacts places such as bodies of water (and the marine life in them), tropical rain forests and normal forests, and more on the arctic . I have learned a lot from my research and really enjoyed learning about my environment and how I can help.
