To what extent has the climate changed?

Is there a connection between temperature and CO2 levels?

  • In general, the relationship between CO2 and temperature levels appears to be directly proportional, wherein an increase of the former causes an increase in the latter. For example, CO2 PPM was stable until the 1850s. Here, there was a steady increase in CO2 PPM which resulted in a steady increase in temperature. More recently, during the 1980s, Co2 PPM rose sharply, and temperature also followed suit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is there a connection between population increase and CO2 levels?

  • Based on the two graphs, it can be inferred that an increase in population may result to an increase of CO2 concentration. This can be supported as seen in the two graphs wherein between the years 1986-1989, which were the highest in record in terms of population, and from the 1980s onwards there was a sharp increase in CO2 concentration. However, despite the population decreasing, Co2 PPM continues to rise.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What are some of the impacts of climate change?

  • The impacts of climate change can vary from natural disasters like floods, typhoons, hurricanes and tsunamis to periods of immense heat and droughts, this can affect people all over the world, especially those in developing third world countries that have weak infrastructure which can easily be destroyed.

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

  • We can reduce CO2 emissions by limiting vehicles in the population, pressuring corporations to increase environmental care, and incite environmental cleanliness within the populace

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

  • Almost all of these causes can be controlled if the corporations that ran them were willing to tone down or reduce the speed at which they harvest and process raw materials, sadly the economic systems we live under demand that we must produce as many goods as possible

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

  • Climate change affects developing countries and those in poverty the worst, as they are the least likely to be able to recover from natural disasters as they have little to no outside assistance and are struggling to satisfy basic needs. Those who live in developed countries have far better chances of recovering due to better infrastructure, better emergency services, and most likely have a stable income that can supplement their needs while they recover.

First Nations Apology

 

To the First Nations and Indigenous of Canada. I, on behalf of all foreign peoples who reside unjustly in your sacred lands, sincerely apologize for the atrocities committed towards your ancestors. By now, I presume that the memories of residential schools, Indian hospitals, the White Paper proposal, and many other unrecorded unjust acts are still fresh in the minds of today’s First Nations. Despite efforts to compensate for these acts, the Indigenous of Canada are still in a difficult situation. No amount of money or the sincerest apology will make up for the past, and for the culture we so earnestly tried to destroy. I am in no position to attempt to apologize, much less expect forgiveness. So in place, I implore and beseech that the First Nations of Canada merely understand and accept our intention to reconcile for our mistakes. Should it take ten, fifty, a hundred, or even a thousand years, I hope that we will be able to do something good for the First Nations of Canada. I do not know how, but should I cease to exist and return to my Creator by then, I hope my descendants shall follow suit, and make a brighter future for the Indigenous people of Canada.
