In this podcast I learned all about Bristle-cone pine trees, they are a special kind of tree that can withstand, and grow in , extremely harsh and dry conditions. The oldest of these trees is 5,000 years old and is known today as one of the first known organisms on this planet. They began to elaborate on climate change and how it will affect this tree. Since it is so dense and dry, it can barely withstand any more, so climate change is going to deeply affect these brittle trees. I found this interesting because of how old the tree is. How could one tree possibly withstand that much wear and tear and still stand tall? It astounds me! This made me want to make a change. I am making it my goal to buy an electric car to help reduce the amount of fossil fuels into the air so that we can plant more of these trees and make the world a healthier place. ]]> 2019-09-23 16:09:04 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/388295482 How Climate Change Threatens Pikas sophiak3204 https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/388345013 https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/how-climate-change-threatens-pikas/

From this podcast, I learned how sensitive pikas can be to their climate within their territory. For example, pikas can handle the cold very well with their thick fur layer: up to the freezing point. But with no snow pack in the winter, temperatures can drop below freezing, which pikas can’t handle and will eventually die sooner or later. Furthermore,  pikas can be sensitive to heat too. When a pika is in just 75°F weather, it can die in several hours. This shows the type of climate pikas must be in to survive but with climate change, it’s making it harder and harder for pikas to live and adapt to the climate. But since pikas are “fist sized potatoes with Mickey Mouse ears,” they are able to squeeze into boulders or any type of fractured rock which has a cooler temperature they are used to. This podcast was so interesting to me because I got to learn so much about pikas that I never knew about. For example, pikas only move locations once which is right after they are born. Once a pika finds a territory, it stays there for life. Also, pikas don’t hibernate so they collect a hay pile within their territory so they have enough food for winter. Think about it, pikas are actually pretty intelligent! But this podcast also made me more aware of climate change, and how I can help to prevent organisms from going extinct. To help the pika community, I will try to use less meat/dairy products because animals such as cattle provide a huge amount of greenhouse gas which affect the climate and creates global warming. I can also use more reusable containers and water bottles to help the environment and cause factories to make a little less products which emit greenhouse gases.

I learned from this podcast that the impact from climate change is very serious and severe. As you know, snowflakes are all shaped differently. No two are the same, kind of like people. However, due to global warming and climate change, the snowflakes aren’t looking right at all. Scientist from NYU are searching this small but interesting crisis. They figured that there are two main reasons why snowflakes are changing in shape. 
1.) The snowflake itself is created partially melted, therefore, it looses shape quickly and changed into a misshapen blob.
2.) There is more liquid water that is used to create the  flake , so it is covered with this somewhat frozen rime that cause snowflakes to stick together and become known as hail. 
I can change things like, recycling or saving energy. I can also donate money to charities that help preserve the environment and help prevent globe warming.

today students and people around the world are  skipping school in support of taking action against climate change. You could say climate change is trending and if theres one business who would know about trends it would be the fashion industry long known for marketing inexpensive garments some fashion labels like fast fashion giant H&M are now embracing sustainable fashion trends. But can the fashion industry which is responsible for 8% global carbon admissions can it retool to lower their carbon footprint and who responsibility is it to insure clothing is sustainable. This podcast was interesting to me because I like fashion so that is why I choose this podcast.]]> 2019-09-24 00:10:42 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/388533234 How The Fashion Industry Is Responding To Climate Change scoutr0059 https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/389120402 https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/doc-climate-and-fashion/
In this podcast, I learned about how around the world are skipping school to protest in support of Climate Change. I chose this podcast because I never realized that the Fashion Industry contributed to the carbon footprint. From this podcast, I learned that the Fashion Industry is responsible for 8% of the carbon footprint! I also learned that there is a mini-debate going on regarding who's responsibility it is to make sure the clothes and fashion being bought is sustainable. The supplier's motive only lies in profit, and it isn't always the most profitable to create sustainable clothes. Companies should make products that can be easily recycle by the user,  especially since we are buying and getting rid of clothes at a faster rate than ever before. Another contributor to this is the question of whether the consumer will pay more for sustainable products. Without all this changing, the fashion industry's carbon footprint will continue to grow if the carbon emissions aren't continually decreasing. ]]> 2019-09-24 20:27:49 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/389120402 How We Use Land Contributes To Climate Change Potters3110 https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/389201426 From this podcast I learned that we need to balance the number of bio energy crops and food production. I learned that 30% of the earth’s surface is land and that there are 7 1/2 million people that live on the land. The podcast explained that 80% of our food is land based. It explains that meat based diets have a higher greenhouse gas emission compare to our plant based diets. This provide me that all the meat that I eat doesn't help the environment and that if I want to help the environment I should probably eat less meat. The podcast explains that farmers should use more cover crops so that they can reduce greenhouse gas emission. I chose this podcast because I wanted to know how using land could contribute to the climate change on earth. To help the environment  I can eat less meat and  encourage my family to eat less meat because it cause a higher amount of greenhouse gas emission.]]> 2019-09-25 01:45:37 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/389201426 How climate change ruins snowflakes macyd0482 https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/389773788 https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/how-climate-change-ruins-snowflakes/
I learned from this podcast that climate change is truly ruining snowflakes. Every single snowflake is different, it's not even possible for two to be the same. The reason why climate change is affecting snowflakes is because  snowflake has to go through many layers of cold air before it crystalizes, so if the weather is always changing from hot to cold, it cannot do that. 
I can change things I do like, reducing the amount of trash, saving water and energy, and help spread awareness. ]]> 2019-09-25 22:56:00 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/389773788 Investigating the USDA's Silence on Climate Change JelloForever https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/389778343 The USDA is an important organization that studies issues involving agriculture and the food supply. Recently, the USDA has been completely silent about climate change. Helena Bottemiller Evich investigated this silence. Surprisingly, they were still working on a project. They discovered that when rice was put into an environment with increased CO2, , when put in an environment with increased CO2, lost vitamins. The researchers were very aware that the project would most likely be pretty big news. The multiple University's involved in the research all wrote up a press release and compared with each other, but at the last second, they decided not to send it out. After Helena reached out to USDA, they stated that their leadership had specifically told them not to use words like climate change in their writing until "further research and reviews" are complete. Note: They tested for TWO YEARS on just this study. Its obvious something is going on involving the government and climate change censorship, and I believe that is the only thing that needs "further research and reviews."]]> 2019-09-25 23:20:55 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/389778343 How The fashion industry is responding to climate change sophiat3811 https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/389847528 https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/doc-climate-and-fashion/ 
In this podcast I learned about the fashion industry and what they’re responsible for in climate change and then changing it. I want to the fashion industry is responsible for 8% of global carbon emissions and they can do something about it.  The question is “Are the consumers responsible for keeping close to stainable?”  Well that depends on your opinion,  but I think where the consumers  your responsibility, and the fashion industry has a responsibility. Where are the ones paying for it and or getting rid of it, but the fashion industry is the one making it. But we can all do something about it.  We can start by giving away our clothes instead of throwing them away to people who need them, we can start recycling more, and when we’re old enough and have enough money we can fund good healthy organizations that help the environment and not destroy it.  I think all of these things that I can do, that you can do our important and we should start doing them as soon as possible.

These pine trees are extremely long lived, the oldest reaching about 5000 years. The 5000 year old tree is one of the oldest known organisms on this planet. During the podcast, they talked about how the changes in the climate are affecting all of the trees. Since the trees are all very brittle and dry, more heat could kill them. Since these trees do better in a cooler environment, the pines in the mountains tend to do better. Personally, I found this podcast very interesting because of how they discussed the pines. They asked experts about how the climate could affect the pines and their answers interested me. One action that I could take to help the climate is recycle and reuse more things. ]]> 2019-09-26 16:38:29 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/390159657 How Pikas are theatened to climate change lydiaw3286 https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/390184055 https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/how-climate-change-threatens-pikas/

In the podcast I learned the pikas are extremely sensitive to temperature and climate change. I found it really interesting that once they are born they go out and search for a territory and they stay there for the rest of there lives. The podcast really taught me that we aren’t the only ones suffering, it’s other animals too! I think we really need to plant more trees and decrees carbon sources. Pika’s are most conforatable in temperatures just below freezing. There sensitivity means that it has to be the perfect temperature, it cant be too cold and it can’t be hot. The scientist explained that the pikas are very difficult to take care of. There starting to vaccinate the animals from getting the plague.]]> 2019-09-26 17:15:29 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/390184055 Investigating the USDA's Silence On Climate Change isabellas2678 https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/390324238 https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/investigating-the-usdas-silence-on-climate-change/
The USDA aka United States Department of Agriculture, is supposable with holding information about climate change. Each year the USDA gets 1billion dollars for research. They do this research but doesn't release it. The USDA paired up with multiple universities like University of Washington, for a research project. They were research how the rise in CO2 affected rice. Their data shows iron, vitamins, and protein drops in rice, in areas with a high level CO2. This study went on for 2 years. After, the USDA and University of Washington both wrote press releases. Right before they were about to release the statements the USDA called it off. USDA told UW it was because of their data, so the university went over their data and released it anyway. The USDA thought the data would spark conversation. The USDA is holding back important information about climate change.

According to Dr. Jared Entin, NASA's Terrestrial Hydrology Program Manager, scientists use satellite imagery and drones to get a high level of snow visibility, but they also need to know what is happening on the ground. Warm winter air changes the way snowflakes are formed, but instead of wallowing in sadness and nostalgia, we spent an interim period developing a set for photographing snowflakes and snow cover that everyone can use to participate in a research project. Scientists need much more data than they can collect on their own.]]> 2019-09-27 00:15:58 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/390338350 How Climate Change Ruins Snowflakes matthewm1877 https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/390358300 I learned that climate change can affect snowflakes in ways that we didn't even imagine - or more like me. What climate change does to snowflakes is that as the weather shifts from warm to cold several times, it has this yo-yo effect on snowflakes. There are three different things that can happen to snowflakes with this weather shift(s).
1. The snowflake only partially forms and melts down partially, making the snowflake less defined.
2. Because of warmer air, there is more liquid water in the air, as the water evaporates and goes up into the clouds, where it cools down, gains density, and falls in the form of rain, snow, hail, sleet, etc. So anyway, there is more warm water in the air and the droplets are called rime. The rime is something like a glue,, and so it sticks onto snowflakes. If several droplets of rime stick together, it will become a graupel, which is something like soft hail.
3. They smash together in wind are less able to reflect light.
This was vey interesting to me personally because I have never seen real snow except the fake ones from machines. It was also very interesting to me because snowflakes are personally very interesting, and that I am on a rush and that the podcast was four minutes long.
My impact is that I will now try the most to stop climate change (I will work harder) and maybe I'll try and talk it over to some people who think clmate change is fake.]]> 2019-09-27 01:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/390358300 Science Podcast https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/390703694 (Angelica De La Cruz)

In this podcast I learned that the climate change and us destroying nature, ruins the climate, I also learned about how Fossil Fuels are the worlds worst enemies. Now that I know this information I can tell my parents, and inform others so that more people know about these issues, especially about " When we need Nature the most, were destroying it the faster than ever."

From this podcast I learned that climate change is ruining snowflakes. One reason climate change is ruining snowflakes is because they are formed high up in the sky and when they are coming down if they do not go through layers of cold air they will melt. one other reason climate change is ruining snowflakes is because when they go through a lot of wind they can come together and when they come together they cant reflect light which causes everything to melt faster. that is how climate change is ruining snowflakes. To help this problem we can be more aware of the things we are using and make sure they are good for the environment.

You may just think that they are getting destroyed because the air is getting warmer so it contributes to snowflakes becoming damaged, but that's not all of it. They said that, ''Climate change causes fluctuating temperatures and warmer layers of air'' which changes the way showflakes are formed. This podcast was interesting to me because I go to Nevada a lot where it snows and this was very interesting to learn about what climate change does to snowflakes.]]> 2019-09-27 19:59:46 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/390749789 How Will These Long-Lived Trees Adapt To Climate Change? devens6617 https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/390761153 https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/how-will-these-long-lived-trees-adapt-to-climate-change/

I learned that trees up in the mountains are dying because of climate change. The trees in the mountains are called Brittlescone, and they can live a really long time, nobody knows how old, because, it will be a while before one dies, the oldest ones are 5,000 years old! The old ones cant move, but the young ones will have to move up the mountain to survive. This podcast caught my eye because of the tree in the twisted shape it was. One action I can take is I can stop using lights as much or protest, and other things.]]> 2019-09-27 20:40:19 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/390761153 How climate change ruins snowflakes jonathanm0060 https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/390770125 https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/how-climate-change-ruins-snowflakes/

Some of the things I learned were I learned what rounding is, when snowflakes have warm air in them making it half melted and half formed which has been happening recently with the climate changes. Because the air is so warm in the atmosphere liquid water in the air or rime sticks to the snowflakes. When there is a covering of this so called thing called rime it is either called soft hail or grapple. One other thing I learned was when this grapple is colliding with other pieces of grapple or snowflakes, usually snowflakes reflect light but this grapple does not so that is a sign that shows it would be grapple is a snow pack that also does not reflect light this podcast was influential in my opinion is that I love snow and to see it go away would be sad so I am going to do further research when I have the time to. One of the impacts and action that was listed were there are these kits that help test to see if it is grapple or actually snow and the way they do this is with microscopic cameras that you can put on your phone and a website where you can send the scientists your information for further studies to try and fix the climate change problem.]]> 2019-09-27 21:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/390770125 How Is The Fashion Industry Responding To Climate Change? averyk2887 https://padlet.com/MrsDove/o3g6q67215zo/wish/394820822 Overall I have learned that the people in the fashion industry have not been doing the best jobs on responding to climate change. People working to help fix this problem have been noticing that the consumers which are mostly younger people that buy these products have becoming way more aware of this problem but aren't actually taking action on trying to fix it. I have also learned about how much energy it uses in our environment. There are and unbelievable amount of steps that go into creating even just one t-shirt, from being produced from and oil rig or a farm to creating the fibers and the fibers being shipped around the world then the fibers being spun and woven, and the shipped again ex. there is an insane amount of energy going into these products and the more the people consume it the more people will make them.
