In class today we went of central america.I have Panama City Panama, Mexico City Mexico and San Savidor El Savidor. After that we went back into the video. The Cardirets island is in danger of sinking and the people living on it are moving to another island when the will have to. The people who live on the sinking island they only get food twice a year and when they run out they are stuck on what they have on the island which is not much. They believe that it is caused by the climate change but tha tmight not be true. The Coral Reef around the island is dieing which could be a cause of the island sinking. The Journalist dive down 60 fee tto see what is happening. The Coral Reef isnt alive. There is some proof of alive coral but it is dieing. The coral is bleeching which most Coral Reefs die after that. One lady is not going to leave the island. I think she is suicidal.The next place they went to was Lake Chad. Lake Chad is in Central Africa. It once use to be the 6th largest lake in the world but now it is getting smaller. The river that feeds Lake Chad could be a factor of the change. The food quality is decreasing and so is the food supply. That is really sad. The lake has been dried before but scienctist believe that it is different this time. The children are not getting the food they need so they are in danger of getting sick. that is scary.The source of Lake Chad is even evaperating. That is really sad. It isnt just Climate Change or over using it. It is a compination of both. They should relay less on Lake Chad and that may help alittle i believe.Scientist believe that 90% of global warming is cause by humans. Inholfe canceled his talk with the Journalist. That kinda made me think what is is tryin to hide. They interviewed a scienctist that believe that we will be able to adapt to what will happen since we adapt to the crazy weather we have. An example is how many tornados we have compared to other countries. The Scientist also believed that Polar Bears will be able to adapt. I really dont know if we will be able to adapt because with out resources what would we do seriously.Jeff Corwin and Anderson Cooper went to the Amazon to see what is changing there. The Carbon in trees are released when the trees are cut down. In Brazil they have an amazon protection thing that protect the trees in the Amazon. The men that work there are heavily armed. They go after anyone who is cutting down trees. I would be terrified because what would happened if the people cut trees had guns to? what would happen to them? That would make me terrified, Anderson actually used iowa as an example on why we should care about this.
