talk about global warming\nits a huge topic that will be more than enough to fill up 10 pgs\ntheres a lot to be researched too, so prepare for lots of work\nstuff like causes, preventions, consequences, proof\nresearch into Kyoto Accord, greenhouse gases, ocean currents, recent appearances of hurricanes (hurricanes build on warm air, and the temperature has been rising in the past few decades), car emissions, melting ice caps, change in migration of animals, stuff like that

Unfortunately, the world needs to come to grips with the fact that Brazil will continue to log rain forest in the Amazon and convert land into low-output farm or range lands.  Tropical rainforest soils are very low in nutrients and threir conversion has serious, probably global, consequences.  There seems to be a pretty good consensus about the problem, but it's not just a simple matter of "big corporations" (they play their part) and a ruined environment.\n\nBesides the big corporations logging, there are a host of small companies that selectively log the most valuable trees.  This has caused the "under count" by many thousands of acres of logged land. (ref. 1)  Often once an area is opened up even in a rudimentary way, subistence "slash and burn" farmers follow, often causing large regional fires. (ref. 2) These are very poor, often uneducated, people who see few alternatives to their life style.  Eventualy, the depleted land often ends up in large ranches.  Those who even try to regulate logging do so at considerable risk as the profits from logging and land conversion are huge.(ref. 3).  Last year saw the worst drought in memory in the Amazon, showing that the environment may have reaced a point of no return. (ref.4)\n\nTo this person, there is no easy solution.  Brazil is a poor country where many of the people live on less than $2 a day.  Nobody has the authority to tell them to stop logging other than the Brazilian government, and even then it is doubtful that such a ban could be enforced given the poverty and lawless conditions in the Amazon.  It's like telling the Columbian's to stop growing coca - the US has spent millions on that effort with little effect.  The solution (if there is one) is to end the demand for tropical hardwood, because it's not just Brazil but every tropical forest that is disappearing fast.  This means providing people with an alternate way to make a living.  The developed world needs to spend the money to give the workers in the Amazon (and other extraction-based poor countries) decent life choices that are sustainable along with a stake in a better world.  I invite you to visit the one.org website which discusses their campaign to do just this. (www.one.org).  Actions speak louder than words.  I have given my favorite organizations site as the last reference, but there are many working for global equity and justice.  Environmental problems in developing countries simply cannot be addressed about without dealing with issues of poverty, disease, and lack of education.

Effects of deforestation.\n\nthis can be a local problem with global consequences.\n\ncan be biology and chemsitry (maybe physics as well, heat flows etc.)

I am hoping that one day I will know everything about Brazil and South America. I have been studying the country and the continent for almost a decade. I even have an online magazine dedicated to South American culture.

The topic is very vast. You could try this strategy: select major countries along the Equator, like Brazil, Equador, African countries, etc. and find information on these countries: agriculture, people, etc. This will help you find all the information you need. \n\nTry also these links, if you want:\n\nClimate and vegetation : http://www.scalloway.org.uk/clim9.htm \nhttp://www.meteorologyclimate.com/Equatorial-climate.htm\n\nDisasters: http://www.unescap.org/mced2000/pacific/background/disasters.htm\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equator

Do it on the president.   That would also be a good way to learn some  more also!

what do you want to learn about?

for the same reason there are a multitude of books on any natural phenomenon, there is always new things to learn about them. Personally though, I am more into learning through experience :)
