Global Warming Story Ideas:
1) The Kyoto accord is not implemented and GW happens. What will the "warmed" earth look like a 100 years from
now?
2) The Kyoto accord is implemented and the next ice age is triggered. What will an "iced" earth look like a 100
years from now?
3) (Toronto Star) A Canadian government study say forests produce greenhouse gases. Will there be a move to cut
down the forest to reduce greenhouse gases?
4) (Toronto Star) New Zealand Gas concerns lead to breaking-wind tax on flatulent cows and sheep. What other taxes
will there be a 100 years from now?
5) (Toronto Star) Barbecue grilling increases smog levels. Will the UN black helicopters be given to the Global
Warming police to track down rogue BBQ grillers?
6) (Ananova.com) Candles now blamed for earth’s pollution. The Global Warming police hunt down rogue candles.
7) (Toronto Star) Ancient journals show arctic thinning may be natural. Today's conditions also seen in the 1700s.
Time machine used to compare the 1700s to 50 years from now.
8) A couple of college students have converted an 82 VW bus to run on cooking grease. Is this a good solution for
global warming? If the poor run their cars with used grease, is the possible smell a problem? Liver, Onion Rings, Fish?
9) Scottish scientists say that Global Warming will create a type of ‘Super Midges’, a type of insect.
They will breed fast and live longer. Chicago was infested by gnats this summer. Will we have a buggy future?
10) Wind farms are noisy. Electric cars can overheat while recharging and burn down houses. Will energy alternatives
cause more problems than they solve?
11) Science study was done to see what global warming would do to certain african tics. It was found there would
be less habitat so the cattle and people will be healthier. Write a story showing a better world because of global warming.
12) Wind farms frappes endangered species birds (www.abc.net.au 8/31/2001) In near future, the environmentalists (who want alternative fuels) battle the supporters
of Mother Nature.
13 (Nature.com) Global warming might not be all bad. Some corals are flourishing, heard this week's annual
meeting of the Geological Society of America in Seattle, Washington. Write how GW is helping floating food farms.
