Climate Change and Population

Climate Change and Population ~ By Jessica and Kelly

To what extent has the climate changed?

  • Is there a connection between temperature and CO2 levels?

Possibly. The on the right (blue), you see the Co2, and near the end it is very high. Compare it to the left graph (red), near the end it is also very high. So it means that the more Co2, the hotter the temperature gets.

  • Is there a connection between population increase and CO2 levels?

As the population grows, so does the Co2 level. You can see it in the chats below. The left one is the population, and it is getting higher over time. The right one is the Co2 level, and it is also getting higher. So probably, there is a connection.

  • What are some of the impacts of climate change?

Fire. Climate change causes fire.

Floods. Climate change also causes floods.

Trash. We have too much trash it is even in the waters. Waters we drink and swim in. tRaSh!

Based on the data, what should we do to lower CO2 emissions?

Here is some data about what creates Co2. Some things we can do to lower it, is use less electricity and heat. Electricity and heat is rising according to the graph, and it creates a lot of Co2, and if we stop, or even use less, it can help the environment. For transportation, maybe we can walk more, or use more buses.

See the Climate Causes below, which ones do you have control over?

Traffic jams are caused by people. So if we use less vehicles, it can possibly be helpful. Because using vehicles will use a lot of heat, gas, electricity, etc. and it will add to our climate change problem.

 

There are garbage everywhere. And it is easy to create, but hard to get rid of. The garbage dumps make climate change an issue. Something we can do to control is, us just use less stuff, so it will cause less garbage. Because everything stays on earth anyways.

After a party, parade, or festival, this can happen! Garbage everywhere. This adds to climate change as we start leaving trash everywhere. We can still have fun, but try and not litter, and it will help a lot for the planet.

In what ways does Climate Change become an issue of class?

It seems like as the higher income people have, the more carbon it produces. It is not about how many people there is, as you can see most of the population is middle or low. The high class has less people, though it creates the most carbon.

Truth and Reconciliation

I put the Canadian red leaf at the back, and put a First Nations Eagle in front of it, spreading its wings just like how the leaf spreads. And on the sides I put the moon and sun kind of like day and night. This poster can help with reconciliation because it shows some First Nations symbols and how they are here in Canada too. The First Nations helped the Europeans when they first came to Canada, and they are important in our country. Like the Eagle is in the middle showing importance and the sun and moon are like night time and people are sleeping, and the sun is like a sunrise.

The Eagle symbolizes peace, wisdom, power, spirituality and friendship.

The Moon symbolizes transformation and is known as an important protector and guardian spirit.

The Sun symbolizes healing energy, abundant life, beauty and peace

In this picture, it shows multiple ads for ovens. It shows how it’s ‘easy’ to use, and how it’s so ‘useful’. In the picture, there are also two woman there being happy and pretending to use the oven. They are shown wearing like a apron skirt or something, so I think it means its stereotyping that people still expect them to cook and take care of the house, because there are no men in the picture.

An inquiry question this could possibly work for is…

What were the jobs/roles of women after the war?

It can answer questions such as, if after the war changed anything about their roles/jobs, what is it compared to today,

What would happen if WW1 had been prevented?

Summary

What if the guy who shot Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife Sophie, missed, and they never had been assassinated?

Basically a lot of things we know today wouldn’t have happened if there wasn’t a WW1, or the things would have just been delayed.

For example, WW2 may not have happened, and without millions of deaths the countries would probably put more resources into building their economies.

“The United States would have remained more isolated, less intertwined with the rest of the world, and also less tolerant of the rights of women, blacks, Jews and other minority groups.”

Also without the War, their probably wouldn’t have been much technology advancements, like nuclear weapons, computers, nor the internet.

Antibiotics would probably be delayed, and there would not be information about revolutions.

Lebow said in an interview; “In the United States, maybe the best thing about the second half of the 20th century was development of tolerance. The U.S. before 1945 was a pretty backward and racist place.”

There are many ‘what-if’s’, but we may not know for certain what would’ve happened, if the war never happened, because it happened. But they would probably still have a war somehow, because of the countries increasing in weaponry, wanting more resources, etc.

Reflection

This website answered my question pretty well. It explained many things I was also wondering. I could go further with this question, and figure out more details, and find out more things that would not have happened. I could also go with a different question, because this one can never be answered fully. I might just revise the question a bit and see if it can go further on.
