Surprised that we have the longest coastline of any state save for alaska. And when it comes to beaches, the state of florida by far has more beaches than any other state. But because we have so much exposure to the oceans the atlantic on the east, the gulf of mexico on the west we are particularly subject to Climate Change that the earth is heating up. Now, why is the earth heating up . Well, there is the effect known as the greenhouse effect, and what this is, if you put certain gases into the atmosphere that are as a result of manmade efforts so, when we burn things like oil and coal and we dont scrub out a lot of the stuff, it goes into the atmosphere well, one of the things that goes into the atmosphere is Carbon Dioxide. And what Carbon Dioxide does is it goes up into the upper atmosphere, and it forms this greenhouse effect by creating an invisible shield that what happens when the sun rays come and strike the earth at daylight, those rays then reflect off the earths surface, an
