The Great Barrier pt.1

 

 

 

The Great Barrier Reef, is the world's largest coral reef, located along the northeast coast of Australia, in the Coral Sea (it’s visible from space).

Because of the climat changes the temperatures of seas are getting higher, the NASA’s oceanographic probes showed that in some regions they exceeded average temperatures by 2.5 degrees.  It can only mean one thing – our water ecosystem is dying.

Not only water creatures suffer, becauase the main problem is coral reef. Because of so high temperatures the corals lose their natural colour and turns white, which means they are dying. One of 43 ideas to reduce the amount of damage was to spray seawater above the reef to use the presence of salt to increase the sunlight clouds reflect back to space and inducing fogs over targeted reefs, again through spraying seawater. Of course those projects are going to take a lot of time and a lot of money, but it’s the right investment, because in the future as dr. Paul Hardisty said (scientist from The Great Barrier Foundation) :

“If we can get the science right and intervene on the reef at scale to prevent this kind of damage and build that resilience, then the benefits for Australia environmentally, socially and economically, especially for reef communities, is going to be in the tens of billions of dollars.”

    Isn't it a lost battle, unless the world does something globally to stop the temperatures from rising?

Underwater pyramid in the Azores

Obraz
  At the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, a large pyramid-shape was found. The top of the pyramid is 40 meters deep and 60 meters high and covers an area of ​​8,000 m2. The underwater pyramid was discovered by a local angler in September this year during one of his trips. This angler claims that the pyramid must have been built with human hands and it may be the mythical Atlantis. However, not everyone is convinced that the find from the Azores is a pyramid. Skeptics that there is a chance that this is just an underwater volcanic hill, not a residual Atlantean civilization. (it’s because Azores are archipelago of nine volcanic islands and that’s why people are not convinced about the theory of underwater city)    https://curiosmos.com/is-there-a-20000-year-old-underwater-pyramid-in-the-atlantic-ocean/

Observation 7

Some time ago I’ve read an article in which the author considered whether online or stationary education is better. „E-learning” had and in some places still have its pros and cons. To answer which side wins we probably would hace to ask many people, because everyone has their own opinion. Personally I agree with the author of this text. Spending many hours in front of the computer, not seeing friends for quite a long time and being home for many weeks was definetely very challenging for everyone. Everybody could feel negative effects of that education method despite the fact that, as it was said, we spend great part of our lives in the internet. I’m sure it was pretty interesting experience but if we ever go back to those days in our memories we will remember that it required from us a lot of patience and positive thinking. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/nov/08/the-big-idea-should-we-leave-the-classroom-behind

Are polish people polite and kind?

In my opinion polish people are polite and kind. I think that everybody heard about ,,polish hospitality". From the very beginning of our country we can see a lot of exaples of kidness. Why didn't we heard about for example german hospitality? Because it's Poland and polish people known of heartendness from hundreds of years. Good example of these features is Otto III's visit to Poland in 1000. Our king - Bolesław Chrobry- hosted him and gave a lot of gifts. Additonally in now a days, a lot of nationalities say that polish people are very polite and Poland is a country where is a good food, beautiful women and great people.
