Global warming campaigns are run by people that are wealthy and by the world’s richest companies. Are they worrying about the people in poor countries that are dealing with the Earth warming every day of their lives? There is billions of dollars being spent on the risks of droughts and rising seas. Does anyone realize that there are droughts happening for many people around the world? Africa contributes less then 3% of the earth’s carbon dioxide from fuel burning since 1900, although its 840 million people are being faced with some of the worst conditions of global warming. The droughts in Africa are freighting and are killing many people already. The water supply in Africa was bad to being with and now with the earth warming it is only getting worse. As the oceans get larger with the melting ice water county such as Egypt are going to be really impacted by the water level changes.
Wealthy countries are protected by their money. If there was ever a drought or flooding from the rising seas the country would have enough money to save people survive. In poor places such as Africa they do not have this option.
We should start thinking about other countries and how we can help them deal with global warming changes. We need to expand our borders in our minds and in real life situations.
Henry I. Miller, a fellow with the Hoover Institution at Stanford University stated referring to the Titanic, “A much higher fraction of passengers from the cheaper decks were lost. We’ll see the same phenomenon with global warming.”

What is happening to the North Pole?
Since the beginning of time nature has always had to change due to changing climates. It is one of the most important forces behind the process of evolution. The climate has controlled the life on Earth. Although in today’s society it is apparent that everyone knows that the climate may start to change to rapidly. While it be too difficult for certain species to survive? The habitats that these animals live in are being destroyed by global warming. If there is no where for the polar bears to live they will not be able to survive. Polar Bears is one species that is being really affected by global warming. The North Pole is getting smaller and smaller and there is no where for the polar bears to go. Polar bears are the perfectly adapted ice animal and now they will have to find a way to survive or they will go extinct.
"In Alaska, people are more aware of the warming problem because it's staring you in the face," says Gunter Weller, director of the Center for Global Change and Arctic System Research at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. "You can't deny the evidence, because it's all around you."

Vodka that is going Green.- SVEDKA
SVEDKA is an imported vodka and it is fastest growing in the United States. There main goal is to use the future in their advertising campaigns to make Svedka the "#1 vodka in the universe". (www.svedka.com)
When you go to Svedka.com you go to the section of advertising and there will be a global warming section. Then you have to download the campaign. In the print ad it states "Voted #1 vodka of 2033. Svedka reminds you to do your part to end global warming. Add more ice". (www.svedka.com) The add has a women of the future.
Will these advertisements really help the efforts of global warming? I think that any attempt to make a change or get the phrase global warming is worth the effort. People will not be able to not think about global warming because they will see it in advertisements right in front of there face. If Svedka is the vodka of 2033 then they had to make sure they helped the global warming efforts because by 2033 the world can be a very different place for their product.
Look out for Svedka advertisements they definitely stand out because of the creative design of the campaign! Also take the advise from Svedka and start taking a part in the efforts against global warming.

Diesel Campaign
Diesel advertising campaign is taking a step to help people become more aware of the global warming problem on our earth. I think the ads are extremely artistic. They definitely make the problem of global warming look more dramatic. For instance, one image is of a man and women in bathing suits with Penguins behind them in the water and out of the water. We all know that Penguins are in cold weather and people could not be in bathing suits. Also there is an ad with a man and women looking really hot and behind them is New York City under water. There are three more ads that are just as creative. They really us fashion and the awareness of the label to make people see the effects of global warming. Please everyone go look they are great!
I really think that every industry has to take a step at making people aware of global warming. Most people today know about global warming but don't do anything about it. Maybe companies can make people do things to change and help global warming. For instance, when Gap had the red label to raise money for Africa. This is an idea for companies to start raising money for the stop of global warming. This is something to think about. What can companies do to change people ways and thoughts about our earth and enviroment?
