Depletion Of The Ozone Layer
1,370 words... portion of the ozone layer is a major concern today. The ozone layer protects us from the harmful rays of the sun; therefore it is imperative that we preserve it.

Earths Surface Global Warming
380 wordsMy position on global warming is that despite the medias claim of a rising climate, in reality there is no cause for concern. Inane reports regarding global warming are yuppie-tree-hugger propaganda. The information defending their case is misleading and inaccurate. The truth of the matter is that our impact on the global temperature is inconsequential. Also, any effort to slow down the greenhouse effect is an unnecessary burden on our economy.

Still, I wish that we would have found remains of an ancient ci...
