Climate Change

Global Warming
The release of carbon dioxide and some heat trapping gases, tailpipes, and burning forests are the major role in the rise of the temperature. The Earth's surface has raised by more then 1 degree Fahrenheit since 1900. I feel like if we keep doing this the Earth will keep heating up and heating up causing a lot of droughts, and later on when it gets very hot it will melt the polar ice caps which will cause a lot of floods maybe another ice age. This is like what we studied in Humanities about how civilizations fall. In Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Indus River Vally Civilizations it all collapsed because of climate change and soon there were droughts. So it means one day our world might collapse too.

Greenpeace: China should attend UN climate talks

The Green Peace is telling China to attend to the conference about climate change because China is the biggest producer of green house gases. China says developed countries bear most of the responsibility for climate change.
Even though i heard that China is the biggest cause of global warming but i was not sure if that was true. And I am not really surprised to see in the news that it says China is the biggest producer of green house gases.

Why is a drawing a sketch an important part of the scientific method and why do you always neglect this step!?!?
Drawing a sketch is important because you can have a better idea of how your final thing will be looking like. And if you drew a sketch you won't be taking as much time during the time you are making the project, on what you are going to do. I think we neglect this step because we feel like it takes too much time, and we just want to experiment it our selves.

What Happened to Jaguar Paw

Jaguar Paw ↑



















Later on Jaguar Paw will enter the forest and meet some Mayan people, and some of the kids that were left behind and survived. When Jaguar Paw saw them he told them"I am Jaguar Paw, son of Flint Sky. My Father hunted this forest before me. My name is Jaguar Paw. I am a hunter. This is my forest. And my sons will hunt it with their sons after I am gone. " Then one of the person who seems like a leader of some of the people told Jaguar Paw " Our lands were ravaged. We seek a new beginning."
They all decided since Jaguar paw was the person who knows this forest the best, they wanted him to be the leader. Jaguar Paw wanted to create a place where people can live together in peace, and make friends. Just like when their village before it was invaded. Later on Jaguar Paw and his family then creates a place of their own, and they became the leaders of that place. Years later when his son grew old Jaguar Paw teaches his sons how to hunt and how to get around the forest without getting lost. And he taught the rest of the children and people how to hunt.
At night he would tell of his stories about the cruel people of the other tribe how they sacrificed people to please their gods. Every time when he tell his story people will listen carefully to him. Sometimes after he told his stories people would ask him question sometimes Jaguar Paw will answer but sometimes he can't because doesn't understand it either.
After a few years they started to face a crisis, their crops will not grow it has become dry. And there is no longer water in the well. A lot of people because of some weird sickness. Because there was no water a lot of the children and elders grew weaker. Jaguar Paw sometimes sends people to find water, he could not do anything now because he had grew weak from the sickness. Sometimes he insists on going but the people did not agree to this. And things went on and on like this, eventually people kept dying and dying and there was nothing they could do, Jaguar Paw himself also died from the disease. It was a sad day for the people when he died.
Everyone was in sorrow that day of his death. And then his first son then became the leader of the forest. When people passes by he would introduce himself saying "I am Turtles Run, son of Jaguar Paw. My Father hunted this forest before me. My name is Turtles Run. I am a hunter. This is my forest. And my sons will hunt it with their sons after I am gone."
