Finding Life on Mars

Mars well known as the red planet because of its barren and icy desert has sparked a lot of scientific questions and sci-fi imaginings. Is there life beyond our planet is a very good question, The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) an independent agency of the United States Federal Government is dedicated to answering such scientific questions as some of its mission is to better understand the Earth and explore bodies throughout the Solar System. It is responsible for the civilian space program as well as aeronautics and space. NASA has conducted space explorations and investigations using advanced robotic spacecraft on the notion of finding water or a single-cell amoeba or anything to prove that there is life on Mars.

We already have a planet and it has life so let’s take care our planet Earth. The oceans are a key element for the existence of life on Earth as the oceans influence climate by absorbing solar radiation and releasing heat needed to drive the atmospheric circulation. It is well known that there are far more species living on land than in the sea despite the oceans covering 70% of the Earth’s surface.

Global warming is a great challenge caused by humans. Global warming is the gradual heating of Earth's surface, oceans and atmosphere which is caused by human activity, primarily the burning of fossil fuels that pump carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Some of the effects of global warming are increase in normal temperatures and temperature extremes, extreme weather events, rise in sea levels and ocean acidification and extinction of plant and animal species.

How to combat global warming and reduce its effects plant trees, power your home with renewable energy such as solar or wind and desist from coal, reduce water waste, become a climate warrior, reduce power consumption, buy organic and local food whenever possible and eat more meat free meals.
