In Catherine Brahic’s (2007) article, global warming causes a reduction of loggerhead turtles in Florida. She thinks that this problem is serious for the society and the community. According to this article, global warming affects the balance of their gender. In addition, this unbalance of gender causes extermination of them. Global warming is generated by the construction of new roads and houses in Florida because the sand from the bottom of beach is much darker than general beach sand. It causes beach temperatures to increase. Also the unconcern about endangered loggerhead turtles is one of problems. If we more concerned about taking care of them, it might not be happened.

It is apparent that global warming causes bad effects to loggerhead turtles. So we have to find a solution to protect ourselves from global warming, because it threatens our environment and our lives.

First of all, we have to stop the ceaseless construction of new roads and houses. Because it causes increase of the beach temperature. We should make a law to limit the ceaseless development and use existed constructions. It helps loggerhead turtles to make a balance of male and female.

Second, we should concern about taking care of loggerhead turtles. All people in the world should realize how big this problem is and begin to take care of them. This view point supports them not to be threatened by global warming. We can provide them proper habits to live in. In addition, we can move them to adequate places to breed with a proper temperature.

Finally, our societies should study more about loggerhead turtles. We should learn accurate and professional information about them from the studying. So all of people in the world have to find a solution and attend to this movement through the studying. Government should invest the studying for accomplishing the successful result.
In conclusion, we should concentrate more on our environment. It is significant to realize that we are connected to the environment. We should protect loggerhead turtles from global effect.
