    WHOA! Big deal, considering what has been presented thus far by the Trump administration. Interesting.

    This article is also interesting because it is saying that climate change is all done by people. I think climate change is a problem created by people.

    President Trump based a large part of his campaign in siding with the Republican Party's opinion that climate change and global warming is either not as big or a threat to our planet as it comes off as, or that is does not exist at all. Clearly during election season, he had to strictly side with his party's ideals in order to secure votes that would present him with the presidential candidacy. But, now that he has won office, he is saying that global warming does exist, and is threat to our society due to environmentally harmful actions resulting from humans. If he is changing his stance on the issue, why does he continue to have Scott Pruitt, a known global warming denier, sit as the head of the EPA and why does he continue to withdraw climate policies set in place by the Obama administration (an administration that outwardly supported the findings of climate change and set in place regulations and policies to lessen the impact of human activities on the environment)? Is recognizing the issue and continuing to do nothing about it because of the impact climate change policies would have on big businesses in America? I am interested to see what the President puts forward on this matter.

The GM chickens that lay eggs with anti-cancer drugs

https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-46993649 Researchers have genetically modified chickens to lay eggs that contain health promoting drugs that can help arthritis and cancer. The drugs are said to be 100 times cheaper to produce when they are laid than when they are produced in a factory. These researchers hope that they can produce the drugs in commercial quantities. The chickens aren't harmed and they just think that they are laying normal eggs. It only takes three eggs to produce enough dosage of the drug and chickens lay about 300 per year. The researchers hope that they can use the chicken drug to promote animal health too.

The Orange Skies that cast over California due to the Wildfires

 Due to the wildfires occurring in Orinda, California, residents woke up to a orange tinted, ashy sky the morning of September 9, 2020. Strong winds have caused the flames to grow larger, spreading smoke and ash as far as 150 miles south. This has caused poor air quality, which could be dangerous to breathe in. California battles harsh wildfire seasons, and due to climate change and warmer weather, it has led to longer and more devastating seasons. The gases and particles in the smoke are very hazardous and can cause many health problems if inhaled. I think this could be both a financial and social impact. By the fires destroying towns and buildings, they are going to have to  rebuild and put a lot of money back into towns and cities that were damaged. It is also a social issue, because it affected the people that live in Orinda and there personal lives. Hopefully we can start to act on the climate change issue, which will lessen the fire season, making it not so hard for the ...

Climate change models predicted ocean currents would speed up - but not this soon

Within the past two decades ocean currents have been speeding up at a fast rate because of climate change. It was predicted that ocean currents would speed up, but not this quickly. Since this was not expected, people are worried that climate change could have many other effects that we are not prepared for. Global ocean circulation has accelerated by 36 percent since the early 1990's. Our oceans have a huge impact on the planet and the different effects of climate change will change our planet for the worse. It is scary that scientists have underestimated the effects of climate change and it shows how little time we have to work on this issue. Everybody needs to understand that we are facing a huge problem and if we don't all start to act on it then there is not much hope for a good future. I hope that the future planned research goes well and scientists can learn more about the unknowns. link
