Any ideas of what I could write the paper on? I would like something that will have a lot of information and research to back it up. If you have links it would be much appreciated. Points will be given to the person, if there are any, that gives the best idea with the best link(s). -- Posted by MixedDelight at 1:31 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 The oil issue dude. If all the oil in the world runs out we WILL all die. We rely to fully on it right now to survive without it. -- Posted by dipshit at 1:36 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 environmental? like the depleting rain forest? -- Posted by killallyourfriends at 1:39 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 We're drilling too much oil.. which could make it run out pretty quickly. It's decreasing animal population, especially in places like Alaska because they're drilling there / near there I'm pretty sure.  And global warming, of course; burning fossil fuels is melting the polar ice caps and killing off a large percent of animals that live in cold climate.. Humans are rapidly using up the most important resources in general. -- Posted by K r e s c e n d o at 1:53 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 Cloning. We clone so much, that we end up cloning an extinct animal that brings back a virus that KILLS US ALLL! DUN DUN DUUUUNNN!
