A study found that these marine ecosystem are more resilient than what was predicted beforehand. Areas that have been devastated have come back after several years of regrowth. This discovery is acting as a template for what and how much humans can affect the marine environment. Also, it is used as a conservation method. While the study brings light to a factor about how climate change is affecting the earth but there needs to be more studies completed to get the whole picture. Giulio De Leo stated his summing up his findings, ““Only in recent decades, we started to develop the underwater technology and the means to investigate our marine ecosystems. While we have done already a lot of progress, the truth is that we have just started to scratch the surface — literally.” ]]> 2017-02-15 13:55:26 UTC https://padlet.com/18ricciottimolishusg/hac3aznm53as/wish/153998131 18ricciottimolishusg https://padlet.com/18ricciottimolishusg/hac3aznm53as/wish/153998213 For the first time ever the most widely used insecticides have been found in tap water. These neonicotinoid chemicals that were found ream indeed in the water even with treatment. This was all found in the state of Iowa.Further, using different types of filtration methods showed a decrease of the chemicals in water. While this is the first time finding the information scientists state that their is no evidence of humans health being affected but their needs to have more studies completed. Moreover, the chemicals have gain more popularity since the 1990s, they are used as seed coatings. While these chemicals are delay to the insects but not to species that are not targeted. While the EPA regulates the pollutes in the water but as of right now the neonicotinoid in the oid re not considered a threat. ]]> 2017-02-15 13:55:40 UTC https://padlet.com/18ricciottimolishusg/hac3aznm53as/wish/153998213 18ricciottimolishusg https://padlet.com/18ricciottimolishusg/hac3aznm53as/wish/153998519 Pollution has been found in the deepest place in the world. Researchers took crustaceans at 36,000 miles below sea level and found that they had 50 times more pollution than their counterparts in the Liaohe river which is in china and done of the most polluted river there. The two main pollutants that were found in the bottom dwelling species. Further, they were organic pollutants that were made between the time periods of 1930 and 1970. These pollutants that were dumped by the millions (in tons) in the ocean which unfurntionaty do not break down fast. Moreover, the pollutants that were found were st likely from the Northwestern Pacific ocean. These chemicals built up and sank to the bottom of the ocean and hundreds of species were exposed to the pollution. This is an example of how much humans have made a devastating consequence on the planet and its health.]]> 2017-02-15 13:56:28 UTC https://padlet.com/18ricciottimolishusg/hac3aznm53as/wish/153998519 18ricciottimolishusg https://padlet.com/18ricciottimolishusg/hac3aznm53as/wish/153998628 Lake Oroville which is around seventy miles north of the city of Sacramento was depleted so far that people could not even sail their boats as resident stated. Moreover,California after years of drought have been hit by massive amounts of rain. The dam however in now has been overfilled due to the rainfall which caused some of the water being put into the emergency spillway. As the overflow happened caused people to evacuate, erosion and cool oaspl of infrastructure. With the high amounts of perception in the winter months have caused an abnormal amounts of rain to fall. Further, if the preceptor was snow instead of rain then california would not be facing so much flooding due to the snow packs freezing. Thee reality of climate change is that California is flipping back and forth from wet seasons and dry seasons that effect all over the world.]]> 2017-02-15 13:56:44 UTC https://padlet.com/18ricciottimolishusg/hac3aznm53as/wish/153998628 18ricciottimolishusg https://padlet.com/18ricciottimolishusg/hac3aznm53as/wish/153998694 The immigrant crisis  has been steadily getting worse in the recent years. As people from Africa specifically areas surrounding the Sahara. All of this turmoil is traced back to less rainfall. The les precipitation causing there to be continuous bad harvests causing mostly men and young boys to leave their homes to try to get money and food for their families. Many of the people of Western Africa now are in a harder situation due the increase in temperature in the area. Further, changing climate is instigating people to fight for land water and fuel between insurgents in the areas. Some researchers predicted that millions of people will be displaced due to the change in the climate. Consequently the UN cannot du much to help the refugees because they will only protect people fleeing from persecution and war. The outlook of the area looks bleak and continues to get worst. ]]> 2017-02-15 13:56:54 UTC https://padlet.com/18ricciottimolishusg/hac3aznm53as/wish/153998694 18ricciottimolishusg https://padlet.com/18ricciottimolishusg/hac3aznm53as/wish/153998762 A new study that was just release has evidence suggesting that when older women breathe in polluted air due to machine exhaust and fine particles has double the chance of developing dementia. Further this study connected that women that have the gene APOE-e4 and breathing in pollution have even higher chance of getting alzheimer’s disease. The gene that they already carry gives the women an even higher chance of the disease and now t h e pollution is making it worse. As air pollution rises throughout the world there are increasing signs of demetria and altimeters. As people inhale small particles that are found in the air there is evidence that links an increase of disorientation and coma signs of demetria. The biological impact is that the are caused in the brain is cells dying off in the hippocampus and increase amyloid beta protein clumps. The environmental protection agency has been reducing the air pollution significantly since 2012 but with the new administration that may be reversed.]]> 2017-02-15 13:57:05 UTC https://padlet.com/18ricciottimolishusg/hac3aznm53as/wish/153998762
