Gabe,
I got your letter and thought it
was very interesting.
I do not usually think about the benefits
of global warming.
We are learning about global warming in
science this week and my teacher told us about
lots of harmful effects of global warming, but
she also said there may be some benefits like
you mentioned.
I also live on a farm, but global warming is
causing problems for my family.
Our farm is in Florida and we grow
oranges that are shipped all over the country.
Lately we have had droughts in
the summers and this is leading to fewer oranges
on our trees. People worry that we will not have
enough water when it doesn’t rain for a long
time. During the summer we have to be very
careful with the use of our limited water.
From,
Mary
