Extinction

 Matheus Storck 

  Extinction is increasingly an issue around the world and Australia is known as a country with the highest rates of endangered species of extinction. Recently the Australian government confirmed the extinction of 13 animals, 12 of them mammals and 1 reptile, is a very large number of species. Suzanne Milthorpe of the Wilderness Society said that “no other country, rich or poor, has anything like this record” for mammal extinctions. She said Haiti is next on the IUCN list in mammal extinctions, with a total of nine. This all just shows how close we are to a major disaster, this is all a reminder that if we don't take care of or if we don't preserve these animals more species will become extinct and eventually result in total extinction.

    I liked your blog, Matheus. You talked about all the main points that was talked about and the major problems that has followed on that. The one thing is that you could have talked about more since in the website it has a ton of information in there. That is my only thing I would change.

    This extinction thing is real scary what we are doing to these animals is not a good thing. What we’re doing to this earth is a really bad thing we need to react quickly so we can fix this.

On Shaky Ground

By: Hannah Meadows The New Madrid fault line is a growing danger right under peoples feet. Most people don’t realize how catastrophic it would be if the fault line went off and the worst part… there is no telling when it will go off. Usually, earthquakes wouldn’t be an issue in places like California because all of their buildings are built to withstand earthquakes. However, the New Madrid fault line sits right along southern Missouri and Missouri is known for its sedimentary rock. This means an earthquake in Missouri would cause all buildings and houses to be buried since they aren’t built to withstand earthquakes. Now what would the statistics really look like if the New Madrid fault line were to go off unexpectedly?  84,000 buildings damaged and 37,000 more destroyed, almost entirely residences  Over 15,000 people killed and an additional 120,000 displaced Nearly 200 schools and over 100 fire stations would be damaged  37 hospitals and 67 police stations would be compl...

Energy: Hydropower Pros and Cons

Image
 Hydropower is not often talked about as a primary option for sustainable energy, however, 6.6% of energy produced in the U.S. is through hydropower, compared to solar energy which happens to only be 2.3% and is usually the first thought when someone mentions “clean energy.” The reason for this being the majority hydropower plants only give energy to large-scale, industrial operations.  Hydropower boasts a few positives that make it a viable option, those being that it is reliable, safe, and produces a very low amount of emissions. Other than that, they are fairly expensive to build, and they have a very realistic potential to cause droughts. Hydropower is an interesting source of energy and as of now it is only really used for industrial use, however in the future there is a very real possibility for it to be used to power residential areas.  https://www.solarreviews.com/blog/hydroelectric-energy-pros-and-cons#pros-and-cons

After it talk about this problem it gets into how this can help our food problem and how we are on our way to a new type of farming.
