QUESTIONS 1. Make an observation – Based on the data in Table 4, discuss what patterns you observe in regards to dissolved oxygen content and fish populations in the body of water? Answer = By my observation the pattern goes by minus 1 twice, then minus 2 twice, then plus 3 twice, then minus 4 twice, then minus 5, so the pattern is 1,2,3,4,5, and so on. 2. Do background research – Utilizing at least one scholarly source, describe how the dissolved oxygen content in a body of water can effect fish populations.
The Impact Of Global Warming on Canada and the Role Of the Canadian Government in Administering the Issue. Name: Hunter Logan Course: Social Studies 11 Teacher: Mr Dignum Block: 1-3 The Impact Of Global Warming on Canada and the Role Of the Canadian Government in Administering the Issue. Global warming’s impacts on Canada are very significant, and the government of Canada has taken several steps, such as introduction of new regulations and investment in research and development of new energy sources in order to reduce these effects. The term global warming refers to the increase of the average global temperature, which is becoming a significantly more important issue in recent years. Effects of the rising temperature have been evaluated,
In Ottawa, Queen Elizabeth II signed officially giving Canada control over its Constitution. The guarantee of rights and freedoms in the Charter became part of the supreme law of the land. The equality rights section of the Charter was delayed until April 17, 1985 (www.faculty.marianopolis.edu); this gave government’s time to update laws to meet equality requirements. Having a Charter of Rights and Freedoms in our Constitution has brought Canada in line with other liberal democracies in the world, all of whom have bills of rights that can be enforced by the courts, and now don’t look to Britain for decisions. In conclusion, without the push of Trudeau, we may still be under the nose of Britain, and would not have our own laws, rules, and practices that structure the way the Canadian political system runs add up to the constitution of
Drilling for Oil in the Arctic Refuge The continued decrease in fossil fuels in the world today has caused some major concern. With the decrease in fossil fuel, we see the price of gas rise everyday with concern on how long we will be able to continue to rely on fossil fuels. With the United States relying heavily on foreign imports for oil, it has caused for the need to find a supply within the country. With so much reliance on foreign oil has caused all fingers to point at the oil reserve found to be below the National Wildlife Refuge, which is protected by the government. The argument over the oil refuge has raised a major reaction by many environmental groups to not allow the refuge to be us for the benefit of people or the United States.
Global warming has been a giant issue in our world today the rising of seas, melting of ice caps, experiencing some of the worst natural disasters in centuries. We have known of this since 1980 to be exact. I've just got done reading two really good articles on global warming. Two articles that I read were Greenland Ice Cores: Frozen in time and the other article is named the Rising Seas . These two articles really informed me on whats happening in the world due to global warming.
The longer the worlds nations wait to respond, the more costly the response will be (Herzog, 1999). It would appear that Canada is an ideal place live, yet in order to succeed and live in this fast past environment, a few unknowingly sacrifices have been made. Canada is one of the main contributors of emission and other deadly gases, which leads to global climate change and therefore should take a more aggressive approach in finding solutions. By not concentrating on finding ways to reduce emission gases, the ozone layer continues to deplete, and therefore causes the climate to change worldwide. Nevertheless it is also
Lee argues that the economic and other benefits of Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) oil are so great that even environmentalists should agree to permit drilling and they probably would if they stood to benefit directly. Another argument used to support drilling in this large area in Alaska as a way of cutting down our dependence on foreign, often hostile, sources of petroleum. Given the country’s current political embroilment in conflicts in the Middle East, as well as the lack of other viable sources of petroleum, advocates view drilling in the ANWR as a necessity to secure and protect the interests of the country (Herndon, 2002). Supporters also include organizations that help support large-scale employment, including groups like the Teamsters, were in support of drilling in ANWR because it would create a large amount of newly formed
The arctic regions of North America depend on isolated overland routes, summertime ship routes, and air transportation in order to maintain a civil and industrialized society such as in Iqaluit, Pond Inlet, Cape Dorset, and Gris Fiord and other remote communities. An example of Northern Resources already accessed was in the State of Alaska where the transportation of oil by pipeline from arctic Alaska was highly controversial in the early 1970s. The main opposition was from environmentalists because of the extreme/unique conditions of the Arctic, the slowness of natural repairs. The protection and preservation of the Arctic have been major goals of conservationists, who fear the damage done to the natural environment from local temperature increases, the widespread use of machinery, the interference with wildlife migration, and oil spills will affect all regions of the world due to the increase of the sea level. This is why it is such a delicate issue when working within the Canadian Arctic; the “Nunavut Land Claims Agreement” prevents anyone not of Inuit descent to go forth with any industrialization without the approval of the Territorial government and even then it can still be turned down by a community of Inuit
For instance, determining, preventing, and mitigating the levels of polluting contaminants in Canadian waters is a major regulation issue (Environment Canada, 2012). Under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act has allowed government bodies to regulate the presence of substances with deleterious environmental effects e.g. the phosphate found in laundry detergents (Environment Canada, 2012). Furthermore, the Canada-Ontario Agreement of 2002 (a broad law) envisages creating a respectable and sustainable usage and regulation of the Great Lakes and their Ecosystem, which are a vital Canadian water source (Fitzgibbon & Bruce,
Human Intervention on Salmon Populations 1 The Effects of Human Intervention on Wild Pacific Salmon Populations Human Intervention on Salmon Populations Abstract Wild Pacific salmon have been studied extensively over the past thirty years, and much has been done to increase or at least maintain populations of varying species. Of these various sustainability tactics, many have proven to be responsible for declining populations. It becomes apparent that policy makers, lawmakers, and industry leaders have either not taken these results from scientific studies seriously or have other priorities. If human intervention on wild Pacific salmon populations does not change soon, this resource may be lost forever. 2 Human Intervention
