=Global Issue - Nuclear Debate=

- What if the Nuclear Debate never comes to an end? - What if New Zealand had of said yes, to having Nuclear Power? - What if the consequence of this Nuclear Debate is the extinction of an entire species?
 * __Brief description of the issue__**.

The world should care about the "Nuclear Debate" because: - Radioactive fumes could release into the atmosphere causing deffects in the growth of living creatures, etc. - Cost's the government more to dispose of leftover nuclear waste, increasing our taxes. - The excretion from the Nuclear power doesn't produce pure carbon dioxide, thus decresing greenhouse gaes. - Mass numbers of animals have to be put to death as the radioactivity frpm nuclear explosions has effected animals, which could spread the toxins.
 * __Brainstorm and explain why the world should care about this issue:__**

The Nuclear Debate is a Global Issue because it affects many Asian counrties such as, Japan, China and North Korea. The Nuclear debate also effects countries such as USA, Germany, Columbia, France and other Eastern European Countries. The Nuclear Debate effects these countries by creating a verbal war, for example the Verbal war between Russia and North Korea.

5. What are your individual opinions on the issue? //(each group memeber comments about this)// My opinion about the nuclear debate is that we should not use it, because it contributes to global warming. An example of this was on October 16, 2004, Australia had their worst drought, this was due to the Nuclear power that was being used up. Another example of this was when the US was spending up to 30% more money to build power plants than that of which one was uses on burning coal or oil which is less harmful to the environment, however does still contribute to some global issues such as global warming and the distruction of the o-zone layer. -[Rebecca]
