erosion in paradise

Now I know this is a little off the topic of the requested summary but, in the Turks and Caicos there is major erosion and so I want to share it with you guys. In the TCI there was a house right on the beach. The guy who owend it was rich and arrogant if you ask me. Over the many years that house resided near the beach, erosion kicked in and soon his house was on a extremly unstable cliff. Of course it fell in the water and all the money but into it was gone...but this is one example of extreme erosion happening on my island. This will soon become a problem as we have no volcanoes like hawaii to repopultae the land once its gone. At my beach, a beach where there is only five people at any time, there was a project to replenish the sand that was washed away. Another rich and arrogant guy behind this (with a mean gardener). It was great... for a while, until it all turned to custard. Don't ask me how bvut when trying to make the beach better, the works made the rocks and sand unstable and super erosion started. Now it looks horrible. Good job I have a pool :)! Erosion is a powerful force of nature and I would like to learn how my beach was destroyed.

Coping With Shoreline Erosion in Sept-Iles

In Quebec along the St Lawrence River, the ground is washing away from the shoreline because of the rising tide. It just comes up and goes away like usual but because the ground is made of sand, they lose up to 8 meters a year. That is a lot. Some houses have to move because it is making their house sink and one day it is going to collapse. It is bad because over 28 000 people live on the coastal line. The government has this map and it shows the houses on the beach and it shows sector. There is S1, S2 and S3. S1 totally has to move or else, S2 has to move but not right away and S3 doesn’t have to move but eventually it is just probably going to keep going until there is nothing left unless they find a way to stop it. There are some ways they are trying to stop it from happening, like putting big rocks on the wall; it helps a bit but not a lot because it still just washes through. It is happening because of global warming and pollution and other stuff, and is happening all along the coast, not just in Sept-Iles. What do I think about this? I think it is very good idea that they are taking action because it is concerning a lot of people and if something is not done about it, it is going to get bad. I know how this goes because where I go for my vacation, there is an island that you can walk to to fish and explore and look for treasures, and this winter, the tides changed and washed the sand bar away so that the island is no longer accessible. The beach changes every year and there are different tide pools and dunes every summer.

Investigating the Ocean

In BC Christine Erbe is an oceanographer. She is trying to find out if the noise from motor boat harms Sea lions and whales, it affects them seriously the way they find prey the way they communicate and detect predators. She says that it can even damage there ears and organs, that is not good. Her job? She is trying to find sea lions and whales all day and in the picture I think she does find animal’s everyday, but it is a very hard job to it cost a lot of money for her to do this but she also makes a lot of money doing it. The good thing? She gets to spend everyday or mostly everyday on the ocean looking for whales and sea lions that is really cool, but she is also helping them and helping the environment at the same time and about nature to. What do I think about this? I think this would be a really cool job to do it actually sounds awesome, I would love to look for whales and sea lions all day, I did the same thing like her up in taddosac we went whale watching and we so so many it was really cool.

horrible hurricanes coming up!!!!!!!

This article is informing us about the climate changes and possible natural disasters!!!!
The U.S. National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center forecasts six to nine hurricanes —including as many as five major hurricanes with wind speeds above 111 miles (179 kilometers) per hour in this six-month season in the Atlantic, (which begins on Sunday and ends November 30).
Experts in different places say the same about the natural disasters coming up, they say that this will be a more active year than most for tropical cyclones in the Atlantic and Caribbean.
The total prediction calls for as many as 16 of this horrible storms!
Depending where one of this storms are born it can be called a hurricane, typhoon, tropical cyclone or a cyclonic storm. By any name, one of these storms can carry as much energy as 10,000 nuclear bombs—making them nature's most destructive meteorologic phenomenon.
Because climate change an the rise in global temperature, experts say that there will be tropical cyclones more often and more powerful in the future.

My opinion:
I think this is a very shocking article, in a way it is really scary to see all this big horrible things that are happening because of global warming, and climate change, I think it is really good that this types of article exist so that people can see and know everything that is happening, and that will happen! I think people should change because even if all this natural disasters are going to happen, and there is nothing to do about it, If we (humans) don’t change natural disasters like this ones are going to be worse and worse until we cant control them at all! I think is a very interesting article and people should read this types of articles more, to realize all this horrible things that are happening in the world, and realize that we need to do something now before it is too late!
