Houston, we have a problem.

Earthquake:
The earthquake that hit Chile has been devastating for the country. The main problems being faced are looters, deaths, trapped people, and supplies. Looters are the people who rummage around in the run down buildings trying to find food, clothing, or anything they can find to help them survive. The problem with the looters is they are stealing from others, even if they are surviving.

Global Warming:
Global warming has become a large topic in the United States. Recently, people are refusing to believe that global warming is happening because of the winter precipitation that has happened so often this year. What people don't know is all the precipitation is a result of global warming. With so much heat in the air in the summer, the water from oceans, lakes, rivers, etc. is evaporated into the air resulting with large amounts of precipitation throughout the year.

Similarities:
All three tragic events that have happened are natural disasters. They have not only affected the single countries being involved, but also countries surrounding or even the whole world. Within all three, many deaths have occurred, or in the case of global warming, many deaths will occur in the future. Help for all three are taking place every second.

Most Important:
Of all three, global warming is the most important because it will affect the whole world, and may be the most disastrous. In the long term, ice caps will melt, causing all the bodies of water to overflow creating major floods, and eventually these places will drop to dangerous temperatures.
