that we have plenty of water for our needs. But really‚ about 97% of that water is made up of ocean. We cannot use this water because it is too saline for our needs. Only 3% of Earth’s water is fresh‚ and 2% of that supply is frozen in ice caps and glaciers. That leaves us with only 1%. Demand for water increases every year. The tricky thing now‚ is to figure out how to use our water wisely. The United States have been lucky to have plentiful water supply. Water has been cheap and people have

Global warming is without a doubt one of the hot topics for academic essays‚ particularly in the fields of environmental science and climatology. Global warming is the gradual‚ upward trend of global average temperatures which‚ as noted in the 1950s by scientists‚ appears to be closely related to the dramatic increase in carbon dioxide and methane emissions since the beginning of the American industrial revolution. The number of potential topics related to global warming seems almost endless
