Spanish 11 Goal

My main goal for Spanish 11 is to strengthen my spoken Spanish. I also aim to become more fluent and gain confidence in my conversions, which allows me to express my thoughts and ideas more clearly. I also want to improve my listening skills to understand native speakers in many different cases.

 

Climate in Canada

— Heartland —

 

Effects of a warming climate:

The warming climate in the ‘Heartland’ brought out great impacts, changing the region’s biodiversity, ecosystems, and way of living. Warming climates have led to extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall which leads to floods and natural disasters. Biodiversity has been degrading due to being exposed to weather conditions that may not be typical for wildlife. Heatwaves have also been increased which may be problematic for certain species who may not have endurance for such weather. Climate change also causes biodiversity to be shifting toward the north, declining the population of animals in this region. A big part of Quebec and Ontario which is agriculture and forestry, has also been affected as crop cycles are disrupted.

 

Causes of a warming climate:

The causes of a warming climate in this reason can differ for many reasons including human, and natural causes. Greenhouse gas being emitted plays a role in climate change which is mainly carbon dioxide (CO2). Burning fossil fuels such as natural gas, oil, and coal releases large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, which is gradually causing the climate to change. Besides human activity, natural occurrences such as volcanic eruptions and the earth’s orbit around the sun can cause changes in specific areas in the world. The facts listed above show the problem of greenhouse gas being emitted and how much they can cause changes in the climate.

Looking at this image, I can see a turtle in the sea with a garbage sign on the side of its shell. This picture shows the amount of disrespect and disregard humans have for turtles and their health. I think the author is trying to portray the idea of respect for ocean life and how they are not respected by humans. Turtle’s as creatures who play a major part in ocean life have become victims of the waste of humans. The creatures have been consuming trash for a long time now, causing great harm to their health and chance of survival. Plastic bags, plastic straws, and other trash are very commonly mistaken as food by the turtles, leading them to great consequences. Considering these problems, the picture above should be seen as a reminder of the great need to reuse and recycle so that turtles don’t have to consume our waste. The image shown above made me aware of the problems that arise within ocean life and how we need to make a change. Ultimately, this picture raises awareness of things ocean life has to go through, and how common it is for it to be disrespected.
