Global Warming by Andres Ponce



Global Warming

by Andres Ponce

 
I decided to post in this blog information about global warming.
There is a huge impact of climate change in all the world but the people who suffer it more are those who live in poor communities because poverty and isolation because they do not have technology to protect them of bad weather. In most of this communities usually women are the ones that suffer more. Climate change is also bringing illness and disease because the pollution. If we continue throwing garbage in the streets instead of putting it on a trash can global warming will continue increasing. Some countries are suffering a lot because they are running out of water, but at the same time other countries are fighting against the water. This example shows how global warming is affecting the world.
Canada is a country that has lots of natural resources such as water, trees, gold. All this resources that Canada have are going to be super import in the future, other countries are having problems with their resources because of global warming. Canada should focus on climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
A good solution for global warming is stop throwing garbage on streets and to improve technology so countries receive less damage.



1.       Why do people that live in poor communities suffer more global warming?
2.       What benefits does Canada haves on global warming that other countries do not have?

Hibernation.
Hibernation is a state of energy conservation during which body temperature and metabolism are drastically reduced. If this state lasts longer than 24 hours, it is called hibernation. There are many mammals that hibernate for example the lemurs exclusively live on the island of Madagascar, where they hibernate during the dry season to conserve water. For most animals finding enough food in winter can be difficult when the main source of food like insects or green plants is in short supply. Some animals solve this problem by hibernating. Hibernation is a deep sleep that helps them to save energy and survive the winter without eating much. During hibernation the animal’s body temperature drops, and its heartbeat and its breathing slow down so that it does not use much energy. But the problem is that some animals are having insomnia because they are being disrupted, and they are being disrupted by humans. The humans are bothering the animals while sleeping because they want to hunt them, or because the deforestation.

Questions:

1. What do you think it is a good way so the humans stop bothering the animals while they are sleeping on winter?
2. Why do you think hibernate its important for the animals?
