Three Articles about Environmental Science
Today I had to read three articles dealing with Environmental Science and they were quite interesting. One talked about how global warming can shrink cold blooded organisms. Almost all cold blooded organisms are affected by the phenomenon known as "temperature--size rule" which states that an individual of the same species can reach small sizes in reared warm weather. a writer of American Naturalists joined with some students of Queen Mary's School of Biology and Chemistry to dig deeper into this idea. later the team realized that growth and development increases at different temperature rates. the consequences are that in warmer weather that individual will grow and mature faster, resulting in the achievement of smaller adult sizes. This sort of proves that global warming is real because places around the globe are getting warmer. Because of the rise in temperatures some species shrink. These next two articles are dealing with Environmental Scientific jobs. I chose this because it shows the lighter and more nicer side of the human impact on the world. Jobs revolving around the subject of environmental science are getting more attention due to the governments environmentally friendly shift. Even places like china are trying to push for cleaner air and pay more attention to the environment.So this second article is about Habitat Garden Educators. These people embrace the wild life by giving the local animals a "garden" to live in. This garden would include animals that play as both predator and prey. To help keep balance nice little hiding spots are distributed throughout the garden. The educator would lead a group of homeowners to landscape this garden. As i said before those who engage in this job embrace the earth wildlife and does not take from it. This next one is great for those who strongly admire the great outdoors: a Wilderness Ranger. These people don't just ride around in a jeep, and scope out bears with binoculars. They also inspect the area and scopes out the civilians who correctly use the wilderness and those who misuse it. They protect what they have sworn to protect like police... sort of. I hope you understand what I mean. Rangers must be physically fit they can't just ride jeeps they also ride horseback, on donkey, or on foot. Its not bad though, they get paid 35,000 a year and converse with visitors. Telling them the rules and regulations. These two articles help raise Environmental awareness because it embraces the earths resources in a good way and it keeps an eye on those who may tour or visit it (it being the wild). These last two articles show the good effects we have on our earth, while the first one shows the bad.
