The text reminds me of my life because when I went on vacation to Paris in the winter, it was really cold. Yet there wasn't a speck of snow in sight. The Earth is getting warmer. We just don't realize it. The text supports my conclusion when it says "Scientists began measuring temperatures across the Earth in 1880. Since then, the Earth has warmed by almost one and a half degrees. ."

I agree with you Natasha because if there is no more snow or water the kids won't have fun in the winter and everybody would be thirsty if there is no more coolness.

The text remind me of the time i went to a moutian in were there was snow but when we got there there was hardly any snow there was only a little of them. I think the people are not going to stop using gas and oil because because i guess they have to ride a car to get from place to place and oil for working i guess. Well if the heat melt all the antarctica and artica and we would have no shelter to live in!!!!! We would have to ride and live on a boat noooooooooo!!!!

I agree it's not only hot when your at school playing or running around but it's also walking places or even laying down. You can feel the difference in the temperature by far.

I know that climate change is a bad thing and the only way to stop it is to go green and burn less fossil fuels. Only humans can fix this problem it is no surprise to me that the last years and months have set records for hot climate! The climate change occurring is causing droughts and starvation and those are causing other problems. This problem must be fixed!

The text reminds me of my own life because a lot of the time I'll be out side practicing softball or soccer, and it feels like I'm going to melt. It's ssssssoooooooo hot some times. One example was on my first soccer game, I wasn't used to being in the sun ready to run around, and then end up feeling really dehydrated. I was ready to tip over any second. Anyway I have felt an increase in the temperature this last couple of years. One day it's 75 degrees and then all of a sudden it's almost 100 degrees. I'm shocked. And this situation is not good especially in the Arctic because now it's not as cold up north anymore, this could melt the ice and kill animals like polar bears which need ice to survive. This is a horrible spot to be at because we're also in a drought.

I agree. It is important to act fast or do something about this large amount of heat. Now that it's hot, the water will turn into tiny water droplets and go into the sky. Then soon, there will be less water for the animals.

This article made me remember the time I went to Montana in the summer. My Grandma lives in Montana and we always go there for christmas.But one year we went there in the summer too. Now when we always go there in the winter (christmas) it is very very very cold and it snows. But when we went there in the summer it was pretty hot.

This is like my life because in the fall when I went to Kansas for my cousins marriage it was supposed to be cold. In the middle of the week, I went outside and I had to go change because it was so hot. I was only wearing a tang top and leggings! That is a text to self because it was my vacation. FYI I was the flower girl in my cousins wedding.

The text reminds me of my life because when I went ice skating at the ice rink, while I was ice skating with my brother and my mom, the ice had started to melt real quickly. But when we started to skate it was so slippery to skate. But that wouldn't ruin our fun. We just kept skating and skating until our mom said to go home. So that's how I knew the weather was more warmer in the year 2014. In the text it said that greenhouse gases, coal and oil were absorbing the heat to make it more warmer in the year 2014. Also it's making snow melt in the Arctic, having droughts, and other bad things that might happen when it gets warmer. So please beware of the heat made by gases, coal and oil.

Right. Sometimes, if it's too hot, the ice melts quickly into water. I also agree about the part where people need to beware of the heat, because if people don't, then it's going to get warmer and there might even be more floods, storms and droughts.

This article connects to my life in many ways. People should take care of the earth we can not just go to space and live there. I think that the cars people are making these days are very good to prevent pollution from coming to the earth but still there are many other ways humans are polluting the earth. For me 2015 is colder but not that much.

The text can relate to my life, because My family and I had went to China over winter break, and this year was the worst! China has been polluted for a very large amount of time, but this year, the air was terrible! The reason is because it was very cold this winter in China, so people used a lot of gases to heat them selves. Also, lots and lots of people smoke there. This doesn't relate to the text because they're both very hot places, because that's not the case. China is freezing cold in the winter. This relates to the text because I'm saying that people have begun to use more gases to get by in life rather than getting by the hard way.

I can reflect when I go to Palm Springs in summer it is like you are MELTING! It is super hot in the day and the night is like the day in Eagle Rock. The pools in Eagle Rock are fresh but the pools are almost hot tubs! Going to Palm Springs is nice,but the only problem is the HEAT!

I think that we should stop using gas and start using coal but definently use a less amount.(text to world)My text to the world and god is that we should try to prevent gas and coal to be used.Internet is used a lot and people should consider maybe using less time on the internet to prevent causing heat and the weather reporters should not be listened to because it may be cold in the morning but later in the day its a sauna.Oil shouldn't be used on internet but should be used more used on cars.My theory has changed at this point and that is because using cars would cause global warming.My theory now is to use less gas and use less coal.

I can relate to the text because even when I was reading the article at 5:45 my legs were swetty. Also at my old school there was 0 shade (about) and I felt dead after I did P.E. every day. In the summer every day seems like I'll melt, but then the next day is even hotter.

I can make a text to self connection. I went to Yucatan in December 2014 and it was SO HOT!!! I am going to Iceland during Spring Break, but I don't think that there'll be a lot of snow there due to global warming. I can also make a text to text connection. I read a book about global warming, climate change, and rising sea levels. It was a lot like the Newsela article. Of course, I can also make a text to world connection, because this article is about the world. I remember 2014 as a very hot year.

This article reminds me of life, since during June (2014), my family and I were going to Raging Waters, I had noticed it was very hot, too. I remember that it was somewhere close to 100 degrees. That's was why my family and I went there to have fun! I also remember another time in 2014 that it was very warm/hot. So on that night, I couldn't sleep at all. It was definitely too warm. After a while, I finally fell asleep. In the text, it was written, "U.S. climates said Friday that 2014 was the warmest year they had ever seen."

The text reminds me of my life because everyone is always talking about the temperatures rising and how dangerous it could get. I am also always hearing about the drought and how people are the main reason. So, I'm making a text to self connection. Also, one time I went rafting with my family in the Kern River and it was really low because of the drought.

My life is always crowded around with the California drought and global warming's .I myself felt many global warnings. I once experienced a time when I hade belly aces every night(in 2014) because I was just so warm. This affected me a lot. Some times I wake up early to check on the temperature. A text to text idea is about how most of the articles talk about the global warming's and how they are badly affecting us.It is scary knowing we may soon have barely enough water for every one. A text to world thing is that it is really happening now and at this exact time .Soon it will be every day that we are red and begging for jugs of water . Just think how long it will be before it becomes 140 degrees .

The article reminds me of my life because sometimes me and my family get invited to BBQ parties and stuff like that. It makes the world warmer because of the heat coming from the grill. It does not help the earth by have lots and lots of BBQ because you have to cook it on a grill. It is not so good that each second the world is getting warmer and warmer by our activities. Each day the world gets hotter and hotter and it does not help the earth or ourselves. If we get too hot that is not so good either. One ting is that we wold have to keep buying water to hydrate ourselves so we don't die. That's about it...so bye!

This reminds me of when I walk to the park to jog each summer morning. This park is a recreation center so it is completely public. When people smoke their cigars and just leave them on the concrete to burn it makes the world dirty and unsafe and it gives no pleasure to our temperature in our world. People even burn coal on the BBQ without even having a BBQ. This unsatisfies me and our world. So try to stop littering and be a little helpful to our little world. It can cost you a lifetime. And it's so easy. Just pick up the trash you see on the ground and stop littering.
