Global warming threatens sea turtles

According to recent stastics, the spcies of sea turtles have disappeared because of global warming. Six sea turtles of the seven species of sea turtles are imperiled(Vela squez-Manoff, 2007). This problem is based on inbalance of sea turtle’s gender. High temperature causes a higher rate of females. In Florida, females are ninety percentage of offspring (Brahic, 2007). Global warming causes the extinction of the sea turtles. Should we stop human being’s activities, such as poaching and hunting, first of all to prevent the extinction of sea turtles? The answer to this question is no. Global warming is the biggest reason for the extinction of sea turtles. We should stop building new constructions, reinforce the law, and educate all generations about harmful effect of global warming in the first place. We should protect sea turtles from global warming.

The primary solution that we should do for protecting sea turtles from global warming is to stop building new constructions ceaselessly. Making new roads and buildings causes the lack of the dark sand from the bottom of the sea because the sand is provided from the sea (Brahic, 2007). The reduction of the sea sand affects the rising temperature around the sea. In addition, the risen temperature causes changes in the gender of sea turtles. Finally, the inbalance of sea turtles, gender threatens the existence of sea turtles. Building new convenient constructions also causes global warming. The reason is that the constructions will be equipped with air conditioners and radiators, which cause rising temperature around thesea. Therefore, we should stop building new constructions.

Moreover, there is another solution to protect sea turtles from global warming. We should reinforce the law to safeguard sea turtles. Government should have a strict position about the activities that cause global warming, such as illegal constructions, and roads and buildings in the environmental prevention areas. By giving a heavy penalty, which is punishing them with a fine or putting them in jail, a model should be made to stop the activities. In addition, government should make much stronger laws. It could be to punish people with more fines or to give them more time in jail than before. Government should make a decision to regulate the law as soon as possible to protect sea turtles.

Third, the best solution to protect sea turtles from global warming is to educate all generations in the world about harmful effect of global warming. School and home schooled children do not realize how serious this problem is. This education should be started from their parents and teachers as soon as possible, because they are ones who affect them the most. For this education we should have accurate and professional information about global warming. Government should not withhold money from research institutes, which discover definite causes and solutions of global warming. The determined investment supports solving the problem of the extinction of sea turtles.

Some scientists claim that human being’s activities cause the extinction of sea turtles the most. However, this is not true. This insistence does not give a complete persuasion, because even though human being’s activities have been decreased due to the enforcement of the law, the population of sea turtles has been reduced. Human being’s activities are a small part of the cause of extinction of sea turtles. The truth is that global warming is the biggest reason for the extinction of sea turtles. We should spend more time and money to solve global warming instead of human being’s activities. We should be more concerned about global warming. This is the only way to solve the problem.

It is very apparent that we should protect the sea turtles from global warming. We should stop building new constructions, reinforce the law, and educate all generations in the world about harmful effects of global warming. We need to consider living organisms as the most important partner to stop the extinction of species. As we realize that human beings and environment affect each other, we can prosper in our lives and save sea turtles.
