Climate Change

Climate Change IS REAL. There are people who will tell you that is not real. Climate change is scientific fact. There are proven facts that have been tested over the past fifty years which all lead to climate change. Over the past 150 years We the People have been using more oil and gasoline than we should be and it needs to be cut down. Over the past sixty years when we have really advanced our use of oil in cars, which leads to the gases building up in our atmosphere. These gases trap in solar radiation which then in turn leads to the heating of our planet. Climate change was a focal point of today's debate. Mr. Schick also brought up the reason for his absence yesterday which was very disappointing to hear. Mr. Schick's dog passed away and his wife left him in charge to lay him to rest. Mr. Schick's wife referred to him as the 'Angel of Death' which helped lighten the mood. Mr. Schick had to take his dog to the vet and then bury him. This is a part of life which we all will unfortunately have to go through eventually but you have to do what you have to do.

The first Punic War was fought from 264 to 241 BC. The war consisted of naval battles for control of the strategically located island of Sicily. The Romans were victorious in this war. Then the Carthaginian empire strikes back. The second Punic War was fought from 218 to 201 BC. The twenty nine year old Carthaginian general known by the name of Hannibal almost does the impossible and defeats Rome with a well thought out strategy. There is a good reason of why this war was the longes
