 * Summary: **

The University of Wyoming began a study tracing the climate trends of the world, essentially from the start of its history. The conclusion from this study shows that the past decade has brought an overwhelming “heat wave” over the Northern Hemisphere. To further this point, it was found that if humans had not been on this planet, there would be a cooling trend rather than heating. It has been shown that it is 6.5 degrees Fahrenheit higher than 11,000 years ago. This research can be used to trace many climate trends and predict future impacts on the world's climate.


 * How the article relates to the course: **

 The discussions in this article relate a lot to what e find in our textbook about global warming (Miller 472). This section takes about how we continue to emit heat-trapping chemicals into our atmosphere which enhance the greenhouse effect and lead to global warming. We also intrude on the carbon cycle (fossil fuels/deforestation), disrupt energy flow, and creating dust domes (Miller 473).


 * Your Opinion: **

 To be quite frank, I am not shocked that humans are the ones causing all this climate change given the way we treat this planet. From cars and carbon emissions to using fossil fuels, we quite literally destroy Earth. All these detrimental actions cause holes in the ozone things of that nature to occur, leading to global warming rather than what should naturally be occurring.


 * An Environmental Law: **

 An act that has been passed that ties well to this article were the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. This act is an act passed by California State Law, which was put in place to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases throughout the state for the purpose of reducing global warming. It is estimated that this law will have caused a 30% reduction in greenhouse emissions by 2020.
