What exactly is Global warming

Global warming is basically the increase in the temperature in the atmosphere. which causes changes in climate. A warmer Earth may lead to changes in rainfall patterns, a rise in sea level, and a wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans. It happens when greenhouse gases(carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth's atmosphere, which increases the temperature. This hurts many people, animals, and plants. Many cannot take the change, so they die. The greenhouse effect is becoming stronger as a result of human activities, which is causing the warming we have observed over the past century.

Why do people burn leaves?

When Fall comes around all the leaves start falling to the ground. Most people rake them. Instead of disposing them correctly, they burn them. Burning leaves hurts our atmosphere. Mulching the leaves by going over them with a lawnmower or composting the leaves, which is great in nutrients is a much better choice than burning them. Leaf burning creates air pollution, which contributes to breathing problems and is a serious fire hazard. In Michigan, state officials want the residents of Michigan to stop burning leaves. In some of the communities of Michigan aren't allowed to burn leaves without a permit.

All about Islam

Founder
The founder of Islam was Muhammad. He was born around the year 570, in the city of Mecca. He died around the year of 632. Abu al-Qasim Muhammad Ibn Abd Allah Ibn Abd al-MuttalIbn Hashim was his full name. His name means highly praised.
Muhammad's father died several weeks before his birth, and his mom died when he was six years old. His paternal grandfather raised Muhammad, until the death of his grandfather occurred. Then, his patern
al uncle took him in and he began to earn a living as a businessman and trader. To the left there is a picture of Muhammad.
Followers
There is a lot of Islamic people living in different parts of the world. For example, there is 170,310,000 Islamic people in Indonesia. In Pakistan there are 136,000,000 Islamic people living there today. Bangladesh has 106,050,000 Islamic people.

Holy Books
The Qur'an is one of the Islamic holy books. I took one of the quotes out of it, and it says,
"Men are the managers of the affairs of women for that God has preferred in
bounty one of them over another, and for that they have expended of their property. Righteous women are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for God's guarding. And those you fe
ar may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them. So
me other Islamic holy books are the Sunnah, and the Nahjul Balagha.

What are the managers strengths and weaknesses of baseball?

To help write about my topic, I found a great website to help me out. The website is about managers of baseball. On a baseball team you need to have a good manager, players, and leadership. In order to succeed in baseball your team needs a good manager. Usually the teams with best managers make it to the playoffs and even win the World Series. The teams success isn't all about the managers though. Part of the teams success is the players on the team. If you have players that aren't that good, then your team wont be as good. If your players are good then it will be less hard to make them better. Sometimes your team can have players that aren't so good but there team will end up being good because of your manager. At the end of the baseball season teams from all over the world play each other. The team from the U.S. is usually coached by the best manager, and that manager is usually the one whose team wins the world series.

Introduction to co-existence

As part of team 3, I am excited to be blogging this year on the topic of co-existence. The community I will be writing about is the community of baseball. The problem of co-existence in baseball is the fights and arguments, and also the teams success. In baseball you are able to communicate with teammates, coaches, and also other teams. On a baseball team you might have people who are really good friends, then there might be some people on a team that don't like each other. Some baseball teams will have the same kids on their team for years, and there are some teams that will have different players every year. In my opinion I think that if u have the same team for a lot of years you will have a better team, because the players on the team will have better chemistry. In a baseball game nine players are out on the field at one time, while the other team is up to bat.
