True Apocalypse

Fires such as these are running rampart around the world; such as the wild fires in California. The pressures from the outside are putting heavy pressure on the president of Brazil. This shows the heavy connection between politics and environmental catastrophes.

    There was a fire that started in Paradise California called the Campfire that started just 8 hours before the Woolsey Fire in California, completely eliminated the Paradise city, it doesn't exist anymore. All everyone was posting about was the Woolsey Fire even though "The Camp Fire was the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history. It is also the deadliest wildfire in the United States since the Cloquet fire in 1918 and is high on the list of the world's deadliest wildfires; it is the sixth-deadliest U.S. wildfire overall.", burned down 18, 804 buildings and 1/8 people got evacuation warnings. Whereas the Woolsey fire destroyed only 1,643 buildings and every cellphone, television, etc, had evacuation warnings on the screen.

    Link to article? Expand on summary a bit (this seems like a paragraph started in mid-thought).

    I did not even know about the fires going on in California until people started talking about it. It is hard to believe that so many things can be destroyed in such a short amount of time, and it is amazing that they have not come up with an effective way to completely prevent forest fires.

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

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...

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...
