"Strange Days on Planet Earth"
Part 4: In the video it was talking about how the temperature is raising fast and how they think it is going to increase 3 to 5 more degrees in the next century. Most of the earths area is water. 70% of the earth is water,most of it covers the pacific. It was also talking about how scientist are studying krill ( larger plantain). All of the animals that live in the oceans are driven North because of global warming. There are these little crabs that live in the ocean and if the water changes 2 degrees, the little crabs will die. The water climate is changing because the sun is hitting the water, so the water is heated up. Part 5: In the video it was talking about how dramatic changes are happening in the world. In Lake Guri it was once lushes and green, but now all of the plants are dead and only the strong plants have survived. It is like this because of a big flood that hit there, it destroyed everything there. Animals on iguana island are so crowded because all of the trees are left, so they fight for food, shelter, and they become antisocial to others. Since the predators are disappearing the preys are growing like crazy. People are thinking about instead of killing the predators we should bring them back, but if we do that we are risking our lives doing that. In Yellow Stone National Park a lot of aspen trees are disappearing. People are thinking climate change is doing this, but no it is because of the wolfs that are killed that are effecting the aspen trees. With the wolfs back in Yellow Stone Park it has brought back green grass, trees , and now beavers are starting to build homes in the water. Scientist were looking at the coral reefs to see the changes in them. They saw that in the coral reef, plants like coral have not been growing for months. In St Lucia the coral reef is way better than the one in Jamaica.
Part 6: In this part of the video people were looking for the leopard frog. They were saying how the might look strong and healthy, but in the inside they have things going wrong. The number of the frogs are declining. They think that atrizine (pest decide) is what is killing the frogs. Frogs that come from atrizine water are deformed and the frogs that come from clean water are healthy. The atrizine mostly effects the male Leopard frogs than the females. The Beluga whales are in trouble because the are contaminated with chemical mixers. With this the wales can get cancer. Scientist have been trying to come up with a way to prevent their cancer. In the water poeple fish in are contaminated with bacteria, so the fish that people fish have bacteria too. So every fish they take they can't take it home, they have to throw it back. Divers are really interested in a fish called the Molamola because of the chemicals that are inside of it and what they do. If we pay close attention to the animals in the world, they are telling us how the enviorment is.

"Strange Days on Planet Earth"
Part 1: In the first part of the video it was talking about how animals are were they are not where they are suppose to be. It was talking about how termites are destroying everything. People can't trust the floor beneath their feet because they are afraid they might fall. It was saying how most termites are in wooden houses or places.
Part 2: In the second part of the movie it was talking about how animals and plants are taking over places in the world. There is this one plant called the myconia is very pretty. People were using it as a decoration because of the purple left it turned into. This plant is very hard to get rid of and if people try to cut it it would grow back very fast because of the chemical that is inside of it. They said if you don't take good care of a alien plant it will turn into a big impact.
Part 3: In the third part of the video it was talking about climate change. It was saying that 99% of the animals San Fransisco Bay comes from different places of the world. It was also saying that the Caribou's are decreasing because of climate change. The use to be almost 8 million in one pack, but now there is only 100,000. This is a big deal because a lot of people depend on these animals because of their meat and fur. They have been decreasing because they can not adapted quickly enough to the climate change. Some people in the world don't care at all for this because they think it is not important, but it is.

Hi, my name is Karina. The topic I'm focusing on is coral reef fish, how the live what they eat, how they benefit the coral reef, and how the numbers of fish is in the coral reef is declining because of fish farming. Some of the websites that helped me get information about this topic are....
Wiki Sources:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral_reef_fish http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastal_fish#Coral_reef_fish
Other Websites/ Informational Resources
http://www.argonauta.com/html/butterfly_fish.htm http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/fish/butterflyfish.html
News resources that will help my research
http://www.usnews.com/science/articles/2010/04/23/lionfish-invasion-continuing-to-expand.html http://www.cdnn.info/eco/e040701/e040701.html
These websites gave me informaton about how certian fish live, what they eat, and how they are decreasing in population, and that is just what information I needed from this topic.

The Age of Stupid
In this movie it was talking about how global warming is really hurting us. Global warming is causing alot of natural disasters in the world. Example: hurricanes, Hurricanes cause alot of damage to oil rigs, people, and thier houses. When Katrina hit it hurt alot of people. It took them 9 months to rebuild house for the people that live there, but still people today have no home.
The film was also talking about how people in the U.S gorge them self. People in the U.S are going crazy for oil, they are taking control of other peoples property because of oil, they are polluting their air and water because of oil, decreasing the amount food because of oil. This is hurting alot of people in alot of ways. Lots of countries have oil, but are running out because we think we HAVE to have oil in every single thing we use, but we don't. Oil is also making people fight. The war in Iraq is happening because of oil.
The flim was also talking about climate change. It is because of all of the airplane use in the world .People are thinking about bring down the sales price for air planes because they think they are making things better for the people that ride trains, but all they are doing is making things worse. People are trying to put up wind frams to stop climate change, but it is making other peolpe upset because they are saying that they are destorying the view putting those things there. If you think about it, yeah they are going to block the view, but what view are we going to have in 20 years with out these things. In the movie they call our genaration the age of stupid.
