According to this article, the number of diseases relating to the air pollution levels in the world had been heavily rising due to the high levels of several different types of pollutants in our atmosphere. Even now we are still seeing the backlashes of the high levels of pollutants due to the hole in our ozone and the sight of smog in certain cities although, the laws and regulations are changing drastically to try to bring the pollution levels to lower levels.

    I think there needs to be more regulations for pollution coming from at least factories. People know what the problems are but don't bother trying to lessen the usage. The amount of technology we have i'm sure there are at least some simple solutions.

    It's incredible the impact that pollution has on society yet people are still not doing enough to change it or stop it. It definitely can not be dealt with over-night, but starting to put regulations on factories would be a start. Especially since there are now diseases that are related to air pollution, i think that might be another push for something to finally be done.

    I think its incredibly sad that people had to die in order for our government to see that the regulations we had on industries were not doing their job. I'm glad that at least now they have started to place stricter laws but it could be too late now for some places.

    I find it ridiculous that these things are happening and there is scientific proof that these things are occurring but many people think that it isn't a big deal or that it is not even a real thing. This problem isn't going to be solved in a month and probably not even in a year. But each day will help over time especially if a lot of people are. It is not that hard to minimize your pollution habits, it is sad that people do not realize. If we want to live on our earth we need to take care of it.

    I agree with Mackenzie. The fact that people had to die for the government to start taking action is awful and devastating. By taking action now, we can work together to hopefully stop pollution over the next few years. The smallest changes in our everyday lives could benefit and save the Earth we live on.

Vegetation Changes At Rate Similar to Post Ice Age Period

 Noah Frack Scientist have discovered through the research of fossilized pollen samples that todays plant are changing at a rapid rate. This rate rivals that of plants at the end of the ice age retaking land the had previously been uninhabitable due to icy conditions. They adapted to the increase of temperatures by 10 degrees as the ice retreated to the poles. the changes of vegetation today have been correlated to the damages caused insensitive agriculture and creation of the earliest cities and civilizations.  This research brings my mind to the true scale of the earth and simply how little an individual is compared to the lifetime of the earth. When thinking about it, if plant are just now seeming to show signs of evolution from the creation of the earliest cities and begging of mankind's domination of the earth, it brings the realization of how slow this process is. It puts into perspective the true scale of the cosmic universe. Simultaneously give me fear of what is to co...

One Step Closer to a Malaria Vaccine

 Malaria attacks and kills a child under the age of five every two minutes and for decades has been without a cure or a vaccine. Recently, researches restudied the R21 vaccine that has been in development in the UK and discovered that when used in a specific time period, is 77% effective at stopping malaria. This is providing a lot of hope as it is the first malaria vaccine to cross the 75% effectiveness line. Just in 2019 alone, 229 million cases of malaria killed about 405k of those infected. It is an extremely complex disease with over 140 vaccines in trial. However, this vaccine was not permitted yet as it must go through more trials and approvals to confirm it safe for use.  This is a really good leap in the development for an extremely dangerous disease as the WHO wanted this by 2030. The more people step in and work together to develop a vaccine as they did for Covid-19, the quicker new medical innovations will be created for diseases like malaria. Article

Covid 19

Covid 19 is already a dangerous disease. Millions of people are dying from it. Not to state the obvious but it is much worse for people that are amino compromised. People can be completely healthy with no health problems and still die, that's why this is a pandemic. This article is explaining how dangerous and deadly this disease is for people who have diabetes. They are much more likely to get and and suffer. To people that aren't compromised, we still get it but our symptoms usually aren't too bad. For diabetes and any other disease, you are at much higher risk. After reading through this article, I emphasize how important it is to listen about social distancing. Even though you might not have any medical conditions, you are still putting people at risk. Contact tracing starts with someone that got it and can go back to someone they walked past in a store a week ago. If we are not careful thousands of more people are going to die.  link: https://go.gale.com/ps/retrieve.do...
