TOTAL amount spent by Big Fossil in 113th Congress: $326,165,094 ($326 million and change). climate change, air pollution, oil spills, and acid rain. renewable energy same as fossil fuel energy. air and water pollution, damage to public health, wildlife and habitat loss, water use, land use, and global warming emissions. We are to save or conserve energy by not using so much energy like electricity and technology and machines. If we didn't have that how are we to live or maybe how are we to get to places or how are we to see were we are going. Also to work together by using solar panels.

Question 7
The hypoxic zone in the northern Gulf of Mexico is an area along the Louisiana-Texas coast, where water near the bottom of the Gulf contains less than 2 parts per million of dissolved oxygen, causing a condition referred to as hypoxia. The Gulf of Mexico dead zone is an area of hypoxic (link to USGS definition) (less than 2 ppm dissolved oxygen) waters at the mouth of the Mississippi River. Its area varies in size, but can cover up to 6,000-7,000 square miles.
Question 8
The sea otter is another example of a keystone species in the Pacific Northwest. These mammals feed on sea urchins, controlling their population. If the otters didn't eat the urchins, the urchins would eat up the habitat's kelp. Kelp, or giant seaweed, is a major source of food and shelter for the ecosystem...

Question 11
Human activities are substantially modifying the global carbon and nitrogen cycles. The global carbon cycle is being modified principally by the burning of fossil fuels, and also by deforestation; these activities are increasing the carbon dioxide concentration of the atmosphere and changing global climate.
Question 12
Global Dimming ~ A decrease in the amount of sunlight reaching the surface of the earth, believed to be caused by pollution in the atmosphere.
Where is this problem the greatest?
