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