Those Dang Natural Disasters...

Throughout the presentations, I've learned the real destruction natural disasters cause.  They travel through cities killing many people and animals.  They also destroy the property of a lot of citizens.  I've also learned that they can come in a second without a warning.  They can also be prepared for if noticed before it occurs.  The devastation can be truly terrible as you can see.

The PBS Now Sea Climate Change Thing

The president of Maldives thinks the sea level is going to rise because ice caps are melting due to the climate change.  If the sea was really heating up, it would cause other problems as well.  The sea animals could be in a lot of danger.  This is why he shouldnt be worried because these things would have happened already.

Global Warming

The video we watched on global warming was also very boring.  I dont know why we was forced to watch it.  All it really said was that global warming isn't caused by humans.  I agree with this.  I think global warming has more to do with a naturally occuring type of thing.  I didn' get to see the first part of the video because I had a softball game.  So i dont really know what happened on that part.

Natural Disaster Documentary

Since Mr. Chahl is forcing me to catch up on work, I guess I have to do this...
 You see, we watched this one documentary that had a guy in it that I couldn't stand to listen to.  He had a terrible accent that irritated me.  The documentary was about natural disasters.  It explained how osme natural disasters can be preventable due to our modern technology advancements, but others may not be.  It mainly talked about how tsunamis and earthquakes can be detected ahead of time.  This is great because it can save many more people from these horrible events.  An example of one of the unpreventable events would be the earthquake in Japan in March of 2011.  They had no time to prepare for a HUGE earthquake.  Even worse, they had to time to get away from the tsunami that was coming their way an hour later due to the earthquake.  Japan has a wall that protects them from tsunamis.  However, they were not lucky this time.  The tsunami waves cleared the wall easily.  This wasn't the end of the disaster either.  The next day, a nuclear powerplant exploded and created a radiation leak. Yeah, it sucks to have been in Japan during that.
