Overpopulation
By: TGU-Blogger
   Think about every problem in the entire world. It's easy, which is bad. What's on the list: Global Warming/Climate Change, Pollution (all types), Traffic, Starvation, Disease, etc. The list is very long. But, a lot of those issues are because of one main issue, Overpopulation. Overpopulation is when there are two many humans, and in this case there are currently 7 billion, 500 million, and that number is still growing by the second.
   Now, if you look on The Washington Times, or any other newspaper or news magazine, you'll notice that they hardly touch the subject, especially some people, and there's a good explanation for that. Here's a hint: In some countries there are women in power, and they tend to have less children. That's right, the reason most people won't touch the issue is because of women's rights. They don't want to have women in power, at all, so nobody talks about it. If you go up to a person who is against any female governor, even if they're the best governor in the entire US, and ask them about Overpopulation, they'd probably not give you the answer to this crisis.
   Scientist Stephen Hawking says that we have to live in unison with each other. He says, "We have the technology to destroy the Earth, but not to escape it." He is against all wars, since it might wipe out the human species. Things like viruses, wars, and other dangers might destroy the human race, and he is currently working with Billionaire, Elon Musk (heard of him?) to send humans to Mars, through the SpaceX program. Hawking says that the only way of humans to survive, is to colonize on the stars, and Mars. ". "We will not stop making progress, and we can't reverse it, so we have to expand." Hawking says, "If we're a one-planet species we'll be wiped out." Tesla says, "If we're a multi-planet species, it'll be harder to wipe us out."
   So, your great-great-great-great-great-great grandchild might be living on Mars, or a different planet.

 Please let me know if you have any questions on this issue, we will highlight some questions in a post and answer them in the future. I will respond to all of them, so write as many as you want. I Used:

Air Pollution (grade levels 4-8)

Air Pollution Next post in series Samuel Desai Many environmental activists, unlike me, like to say that pollution is an important issue. I prefer to categorize them into three different topics. Air Pollution, Water Pollution, Noise Pollution, and Light Pollution. The other types of pollution are for another week but don't worry, you will hear about them soon. You may believe that Carbon Dioxide (CO2) it the only pollutant, but it isn't. There are others. One type is methane gas, emitted by livestock and swamps. Another CFC's or chlorofluorocarbons which were used in refrigerators, hairspray, and many other things. But they were banned internationally in 2010 because of its deteriorating effect on the ozone layer. Personally, I think that the pollutant which harms us the most is sulfur dioxide. Sulfur Dioxide is a component in smog, but also reflects sunlight out into space, causing a global cooling. This may seem good, but sulfur dioxide is directly linked

Recently, the Tesla model X came out, and by recently, I mean yesterday! Elon Musk said this stuff on  twitter . With a whopping price of 130,000 and more it is very costly, but, the  car is great. The Tesla model X is a family friendly,  and and safe car. It seats 7, with 2 fold-able seats in the third row. The signature series, includes a 90 kWh battery pack, autopilot and self driving functions, and third  row seats. for 10,000 more dollars, ludicrous mode will be added to the X, making it go from 0-60 in  3.2   seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, for 1,000 more dollars, there is the subzero weather package, including heated steering wheel, seat heaters, heated washer fluid, and wiper defrosters. Also, for 750 more dollars, the car will be able to heave 5000 lbs. The falcon wing doors that the X has have sensors to keep them from slamming into walls, so it will stop at a certain point. I used Business Insider, and you can read the article  here. Check out Tesla's page while you'r

On No! Bees Are Endangered Because of Habitat Alteration ! By: Kaden Chien The IUCN has recently discovered a new Species of Bees called Bombus Fraternus. The Bombus Fraternus is a North American bee that is Endangered because of Habitat Alteration. This may be due to human activity such as Cutting down Trees or pollution. This species may go extinct in 80-90 years if this activity keeps up. Efforts to help with this species is going up. But what is strange is that where there are larger efforts, the population in those states are decreasing more than other states! The studies show that the c urrent range size relative to historic range: 71.38% and the  Persistence in current range relative to historic occupancy: 43.33% also, the c urrent relative abundance relative to historic values: 14.40% and lastly, the a verage decline: 56.96%.  If you want an image of a Bombus Fraternus you will see one down there: Now you will find the scientific classification of the Bombus Frat
