Global Warming: Side effects.

Global warming is affecting Earth, that’s a fact everyone knows, or at least everyone should know.

There are hundreds of things you might know about global warming, from stuff you’ve heard in the news, or read on the books, like for example: cars and other producers of Co2 are one of the main cause, or the most popular one: polar bears are drowning cause of the ice melting.

National Geographic: The Last Descent of the Great Bend of the Yangtze

During the winter of 2008, the Epicocity Crew traveled to the Yunnan Provence of Western China for an historic river trip.

It was an eight day trip through a deep, remote canyon speckled with 1,500 year old villages, terraced farmland and class 4 rapids. This section begins just… Continue
