Climate Change Impacts the Environment by Air, Land and Sea
The Earth's Temperature Continues to Climb with Climate Change In the past three years the world's surface temperature has continued to climb at dangerous levels. Since 1880 the global average regarding temperature was the second highest on record. The data within the video below displays a heat map of global temperature. The increases in temperatures can be linked to population size. https://youtu.be/rgcE2lMa0Kw The increase in temperature is causing glaciers to melt in Greenland, Alaska, and Antarctic. When these melt, it increases the sea level. This directly impacts islands and coastal regions around the globe. Recently, California experienced extreme weather condictions

Florida Is Dropped from the Offshore Drilling Plan and Other Coastal States Become Outraged
The Trump Administration May Win Votes In Florida, But the GOP Overall May Lose Votes In South Carolina, California, Maryland and Massachusetts with Offshore Drilling Plans The Trump Administration has removed Florida from the states that is projected to allow offshore drilling. After that decision was made, a large backlash of coastal states all over the country inquired why only Florida was removed. This sparks an even deeper environmental debate on the safety of offshore drilling. If it is safe off the coast of South Carolina, why is it not safe in Florida. Senators in 12 different states are seeking
Bill Gates Provides Insight on Renewable Energy with an Interview from Nancy Gibbs

Offshore Drilling on the West Coast Will Mark the First Federal Lease Sales from California Since 1984
The New Plan Could Take As Long As 18 Months to Finalize Last Thursday members of the Trump Administration have begun moving forward with plans to start extracting oil with offshore drilling. This move would mark the first time in decades that the federal government has moved forward with new plans to produce fossil fuels from dangerous practices regarding oil production off the coast of California. With the amount of time that it would take the administration to finalize the plans, it could be very possible that the next president in 2020 could easily reverse these poor decisions. Offshore drilling
The Trump Administration Moves to Expand Offshore Drilling in the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic Ocean
The Reckless Behavior of the Trump Administration Continues in 2018 History has a way of repeating itself. In the political world, the environment continues to get polluted over and over.
