Global Warming response

After reading the article on global warming, I found it to be pretty interesting. Al Gore strongly believes that humans are the sole reason why global warming is getting as bad as it is today. Although I believe if we cut down on certain usuages, etc, then we can help out the issue a little, I do not believe we can completely stop it.
After the scientists responded on Gore's "Inconvienient Truth", it made a bit more sense to me. The scientist made valid arguments, but I do believe we as a society can help out the situation a little. There are many weather changes, more hurricanes, etc, which partly is due to the global warming issues we face daily. I do see a lot more "Go Green" campaigns and such which I think is great, so I think many of us are trying to make a difference.
On the other side, I personally think God is purposely making these "natural disasters" more frequestly for a reason. A reason in which I am unsure of, but for a reason. Overall, I believe everyone should take Al Gore's words and campaigns into consideration and think about our future as well as our childrens. No, we cannot stop global warming all together, but if buying a specific light bulb might help just a little bit then I suggest we do it.

DNA Gives Students Ethnic Shocks

After reading Samuel Richards article, I found it to be very interesting. The students in the class were very interested in learning more about the topic and their own individual backgrounds. This reminded me of a class I took last semester here at WCU, where one of my professors was offering a DNA test to a limited amount of students. As soon as she passed around the sign-up sheet it was full of names of those who were interested in participating in the study.
I was one of the students who were tested. Although the results have yet to come back, I am very interested to know exactly what is in "my blood." I think now more than ever people are more willing to take these tests to find out "who they are." I believe due to the large amount of racism years ago most people wouldn't want to voluntarily consider taking the test because they would be scared to know if there were associated with some "African, White, Asian, Indian, Spanish, etc." I do believe that those who are tested now and find out that they have other ethnicities that they did not know of before, it makes them become more culturally open and aware.
