German Waters in Crisis

 Kayla Karpe

A small German town has a group of fishermen that are experiencing a change in their waters. The three fishermen have been floating on these waters for almost thirty years. They have noticed that the waters are getting warmer. Usually, they collect small species that live in the ocean such as plankton or even jelly fish. If the water gets any warmer then the species may be going extinct in the German waters.

    This was a short but entertaining blog. It lead me to the article to where I could formulate my own opinion, while providing me with the bloggers semi-subjective viewpoint. While it only focused in on a small area in Germany, it is indictive and reflective of the the world as a whole. The heating of ice caps will prove to be absolutely disastrously in the near future.

    I liked this short blog. It was entertaining to read about but still had information. The only thing is that it only focused on 1 thing and not multiple things like the species and other parts of the water. Still it was a great blog to read.

    Even though your blog is short, I liked it because it was simple and straightforward, showing only the most important, seeing about these fishermen we have a clue that the world is really suffering from climate change, the point of the water being warmer does not affect the animals that go extinct but also the humans that are left without their source of income and food.

    I like your post because it is truly interesting. It is short but you said the essential’ information so I like it. You learn me something that I ignored. Indeed the story of the 3 fisherman, I didn’t know. Keep going like this.

    Like the others say: Short but entertaining blog.
    I do feel like I am missing a little bit of information though I wouldn't know to be honest.

    I really liked your blog because it was short and straight to the point. You explained exactly what the problem is and what’s causing it. I like that you explained the most important information and didn’t put other information in there that could distract from the point you were making. I also like that you talked about how long they have been fishing in these waters for because that shows how much the water temperature has changed over the years.

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

They called it a shrinking world because our technology is getting even better and better. Anyways going into the article there is a graph and a description of the burgeoning population of the globe. 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. It ends off with them giving numbers on there work with BI intelligence and how much money they made in 2020 and what they are projected to make in 2050.
