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 6

 I’ve read an article about domestic violence. The text talked about the maltreatment of man against women and the passivity of the police. It sounds pretty horryfing. Maybe the number of women who were murdered because of their partners is not high, but why is it not dropping? Why the police is doing literally nothing event they have evidence of violence? Also a creepy fact is that the punishments for doing such a thing are really mild and most of the perpetrators do not even receive them. The article mentions a woman who was killed by her husband while sleeping. Before that situation the neighbors dialled for help but the police did nothing and it was the main reason why that woman died. Because of ignorance and passivity. What else we can do when even someone like police officers do not care about our safety? Maybe not to have any relationships or carry a knife whenever we are surrounded by other people? It sounds ridiculous but I have no better idea how to be safe on our own

Soap and viruses- Is social distancing that we all have to practise now is difficult or easy for you?

For me social distancing is a little bit difficult, because I don't have any kind of physical contact with somebody in my age. Of course staying at home for over a dozen days was really great, but when the prohibitions appeared that we can't go out and meet friends, it became harder. Videochats and online lessons it's not the same as face to face meeting. Although we recently had an Easter, and we couldn't go to our families, because of this virus. That's why for me and for most people staying at home is very hard.
