Early spring heat waves are very alarming. This type of disaster is a symptom of the more significant issue of climate change.

Paige Stuckey's comment, March 30, 1:59 AM

Hi Isabella, how terrible that the temperature is looking to reach 113 degrees and this has already contributed to deaths. El Nino having more extreme impacts on the weather is very worrying.

This article goes over how nature can help us achieve our goal set forth by the paris climate agreement, which is to limit global temperature rise to less than 2 degrees celcius. If we are smart and careful we can use nature as our ally to help fight climate change. However if we are not so smart nature could hinder our fight with rising global temperatures and contribute ultimately to natures desctruction.

Alex Gilman's insight:

This is a fascinating story as this new method could beat or help reduce biodiversity loss when coral bleaching increases over the years. The idea here is that coral and fish or other organisms have a special bond called symbiosis, creating this unique bond between two completely different species. Here the main point is to create a super coral that could survive the warming of the world's oceans but this is not a natural coral it would be developed with science. But it could be a possible solution but it's not a fully well-known study yet.

Alexander Mink's comment, September 16, 12:39 PM

While this is a really cool idea, I would be really wary of doing this. Humans have tried to fix things in nature that ultimately made things significantly worse. I would definitely be wary of trying to artificially evolve a coral.

Hi Willow! This seems like it could end up being a huge disaster! If the power lines are damaged and there is water nearby, I wonder if electrocution is a concern.

This is just a straightforward article explaining where on the coast North Carolina allocated $2.8 million dollars to and why. Since tourism is such a major part of their economy, they deemed it necessary to invest in themselves. I personally love the straightforwardness of these types of articles where everything is very transparent and gives clear reasonings.

Carson Schumm's comment, September 10, 9:19 PM

It is interesting to me that North Carolina experiences a significant amount of tourism. I am not from the East, and it is likely my elitist Californian attitude, but I would have never guessed!

Article speaks upon issues facing sea level rise in coastal communities in Japan. However, I do believe that this is a relevant issue affecting a majority of the world's coastal cities regardless of income, regions, etc.

Jordy Ayala's comment, September 10, 1:12 PM

I find the idea that coastal processes are not the only thing that coastal cities have to worry about interesting. On the news it is always regarding sea level rise or erosion, which are important issues but not the full story.

Alexander Mink's comment, September 10, 1:58 PM

Funny enough recently I saw this video on this very topic. The video was speaking on a coastal Japan major that was investing money into larger sea walls to protect the from climate related events. At the time they thought he was crazy but now its really paying off.

There seems to be more support for dam removal projects recently, and there have already been environmental improvements as a result. I wonder if the salmon population will make a full recovery.

Willow Jackson's comment, September 14, 12:01 AM

I really enjoyed this reading! It felt like a very special read to me as Chinook salmon are a very big part of my Alaskan Native culture. It makes me really happy and hopeful for the future to see that the salmon are swimming freely due to the river ecosystems being restored.

This article describes how surfers have joined climate allies because researchers have analyzed more than 4,800 popular surf spots across 113 countries and found that immediately surrounding areas store over 88 million tonnes of irrecoverable carbon. It also describes "surf protected," areas.

Angelina De La Torre's comment, September 19, 10:47 PM

Hi Willow! This is interesting, the surfers I know are big time environmentalists, so this does not surprise me. They seem to be very passionate about the health of the ocean because it directly impacts their ability to surf.

This news article goes over the 9-day seismic event that triggered a tsunami in Greenland. This tsunami was caused by a glacier melt that ended up displacing 25 million cubic meters of water in the fjord. The incident fortunately did not harm anyone but it did cause $200,000 in damages. The scientists involved stated that the glacier melt was most likely due to climate change, and that climate change seems to be setting unusual events into motion.

Since the pandemic, Amtrak has been seeing a general incline in train riders. However although the Surfliner has been increasing ridership, multiple track shutdowns have slowed this rate.
These train line shutdowns have been mainly attributed to issues with where the track is located on the coastline due to things like landslides.

Carson Schumm's comment, September 16, 5:12 PM

I'm curious about the increase in the Surfliner's popularity recently. Are people becoming more conscious about the benefits of public transportation? Is it motivated by the increasing gas prices? Has the line expanded recently?

this is a interesting article as its cool to see new areas that can be open to the people and possibly bring more people to understand the coastal ecosystems in their area and as well have a way to decompress.

I enjoyed reading this article. I really like the idea of increasing costal access to increase people's connection to nature, as "green space," is really important to human health. Also super cool to see what it's doing for the ecosystem in England! Hopefully this can be integrated in other places.

That's awesome that they have found a great way to repurpose these subway cars as artificial coral reefs. It's a great approach to reuse the box car in a different manner than it was intended. Hopefully environmental approaches such as this will continue to be thought of when repurposing large manmade equipment.

This is a very hopeful story as the European flat oysters had been going on a decline for years on end but oyster farms that have over half a million oysters are going to be introduced back into the number estuary to restore the marine life going forward. I think this is a great story as so many areas of the world's marine life are being effected by human impact and over fishing or pollution but this is a great sight to see that people are working hard to regrow new growth.

This story goes over the incidents that happened from Hurrican Ida in 2021. It displays how the current infrastructure, at least in New York, is not ready for the harsher conditions that may come in the future. This hurricane swooped across New York City and flooded apartments and basements, resulting in the death of 13 New Yorkers, with 11 of them drowning in their basements. This was an unfortunate and record-breaking event, but these buildings must start being more protective, especially because it is a coastal city and will be affected more in the upcoming years.
