Alright, so my second topic is Global Warming. I picked this topic because it’s a pretty important social issue, and because I have a pretty good idea for a picture book. Global Warming is a very big problem, and that’s because it affects everyone, not just one group of people. It’s killing the ozone, and eventually it will kill us. That is, unless people do something about it. Here’s a short excerpt from an article in The New York Times:
Global warming has become perhaps the most complicated issue facing world leaders. On the one hand, warnings from the scientific community are becoming louder, as an increasing body of science points to rising dangers from the ongoing buildup of human-related greenhouse gases — produced mainly by the burning of fossil fuels and forests. On the other, the technological, economic and political issues that have to be resolved before a concerted worldwide effort to reduce emissions can begin have gotten no simpler, particularly in the face of a global economic slowdown.
This article basically outlines what Global Warming is. It’s bad, and people need to put a stop to it, and they can. Now, time for my story idea. The main character is Earth. But he’s sad. He doesn’t like it when people litter and put bad stuff on him. But one little boy, named David, doesn’t do that. Earth likes David, and David likes Earth. So David tries to get people to make Earth feel better. And then he does it, and everyone is happy.
Yet another great story idea by Gabriel Sturdivant.
