@brookegentile
I see what you are saying but you offer no evidence of your claims. How is Britain being timid when they were one of the first countries to even propose leaving the EU? That is a pretty big act of courage. Also why will the 2 year negotiations be longer? You did not explain just gave an article without saying how exactly it contributes and brings a lot more reading to your analysis. No one skimming through is going to want to click on that, take at least 5 minutes to read it.

@maddy Great Britain, when first helping to create the EU, did not make as many changes as other countries did. They never switched over to the Euro originally and made many decisions independently of the EU. I feel like there will be very little political change (no more than the change in prime minister and the retirement of the queen). Great Britain wants more autonomy and still wants to trade with European countries. The only foreseeable economic effect is the tariffs Britain now has to pay.

@richard I have a feeling that not many countries truly like Great Britain already (they had a really bad imperialist phase) and that their relations will continue to get worse because the new prime minister (Theresa May) does not seem to be holding very firm positions on key issues. This may be Ireland's chance to finally be free of England after all of the terrible things it has been put through.

mayafrench Due to Scotland and Northern Ireland's disagreement alone, I side with them and subsequently the EU. To have half of the UK against such a rash decision proves that they need to take a step back and consider their options carefully. The only pros for the UK to leave would obviously be more internal control over themselves, like making decisions about immigration policies, and not paying into the EU's membership fee. Although that might sound nice and dandy, they will lose power when it comes to foreign affairs and cause disruption between not only the UK and EU, but with them and other countries as well. We already know about every other con alongside this (investments, jobs, homes, travel/borders, etc). This breakup would be the heartache of the century.

@hunterprementine Besides the stated internal implications, there are also issues that will rise globally - which would even affect the US. It may be harder for the UK to trade with other countries upon departure since they wouldn't be associated with the EU anymore. If both sides want to combat the guaranteed problems that will happen, they should definitely instill more required meetings because once a month only gives them 24 meetings altogether and obviously those so far haven't gotten them anywhere.

@barbie I agree with you that the benefits will only be possible if "Brexit" runs smoothly. I also agree with you on the point that it will probably take more than two years, after all the EU is not familiar with a country leaving, therefore it will take them awhile to figure out how everything will sort itself out.

@olivia I agree with you that Brexit will take longer than two years, same as Barbie said. I like how you brought in some political aspects such as the fact that since no country has left the EU and they will have to establish new laws and ones that all citizens will have to agree on.

@hunter I agree with pretty much everything you said. I believe that more countries will follow Britain's lead and end up leaving the EU because of economic benefits for leaving.
@mikayla This is absolutely going to affect all people in Britain especially those that want to stay. Many are going to be really upset with this decision

@richard
I agree with you that Brexit will not happen within the time span it is supposed to. Since this is the first time that something like this has happened it is extremely unlikely that it will go as planned. I never thought of there being more jobs for the British citizens, I thought that was a great point you made and I feel that it will be extremely accurate.

@hunter
I loved reading your response, you made extremely good points such as mentioning that their officials only meet once a month making it nearly impossible to make progress. You also made a good point about how Britain is essential to the EU and they are not happy with this decision. I completely agree with everything you said and I also think that the EU will make the Brexit extremely hard to be passed.

ricky We won't know the long term effects of the UK's decision to leave but Since the vote to leave was so close, I think that a lot of people are mad about it. For your other question, the UK is trying to make it so there are no hostile feelings but there will be some considering it was one of its biggest contributors. @matt We do not know the side effects yet because they have not reached a deal and I believe other countries are going to have contradicting feelings towards the UK.

The pollution in India is unlike any other country in the world. This is due to the fact of their high population in the size of the space that they are in. With the high demand of plastic in this country for production and construction of the resources that they need for fuel and what not. But the situation that comes from the production of these resources pollution is much greater in this country. With the UN meeting to help protect the world from situations like this it makes the situation seem better than it actually is. The amount of pollution is crazy compared to other countries based on the population to size ratio.
What would happen if this would happen to the US if we were in that situation?
What if the world would not help this country?
