Presentations

A while ago, we did presentations about different environmental disasters.  I can't quite really remember what they were about. But they were indeed educational and were about different disasters. One being the Earthquake/Tsunami that happened last year. And another about a huge earthquake that happened years ago that had the highest death toll out of all the ones we did. 

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

All right bros, so we watched two videos in the not too distant past that aroused some interest in us all and were both generally about the same thing. They were both dealing with climate changes and the people in class had many different views regarding them. The first one was about the president of the Maldives and he was quite troubled. The islands he lived on are at sea level, they aren't that high. And lately the sea level has begun to rise. If this trend continues his country may be in some serious trouble. He blamed the United States and what not a bit but it's okay. He has every right to be worried about his country. Who wouldn't be worried if they were running a country and it was in danger?  The second video was about the rise in sea level as well as the change in it's temperature as the ice caps keep melting. They were both fairly interesting videos.

Dun dun dun

Not too long ago we watched a video in Environmental Chemistry that was about Global Warming. Global Warming is indeed a myth that has become a political thing that they are feeding off of. It's true that the climate is indeed getting warmer, but that's not because of people. If anything, people produce some of the smallest amounts of CO2 compared to the rest of the world. Animals, factories and such create much more compared to us. But who cares? The world is getting warmer because of the change in climate which deals with the sun. And throughout history, climate has changed very much as time goes on. It was once really warm, then bounced and got really cold, and now is starting to get warmer again. At one time everybody thought that there would be a second Ice Age and now look where we are. It's good to recycle and everything which is to help preserve our environment but politics are using it like a tool and are a bunch of idiots. 

Super Earthquake Tsunami Surprise

We watched a documentary just recently about the 2011 Japan Earthquake/Tsunami that just hit last year. The documentary was made by BBC and was a fairly interesting program. It was very cool yet very tragic. The country suffered significant damage even though they were prepared for earthquakes. Japan always gets many earthquakes but none of them were nearly as bad as this one. The earthquake caused a good bit of damage, but it was what came after that one which destroyed much much more. The earthquake caused a tsunami to start and crash into the east coast of Japan with waves as high as 10 meters. Not only that but the earthquake also nearly caused the nuclear power plants to erupt. Japan, at that time, has surely seen better days.
