Post 7 : A career-related article

Every summer the fire forests capture the all attention, because in this season they are more frequently. The fire forest not only destroys a lot of tree area, it destroys houses of people that live around the forest too! Actually the development population increases and in the future it is pose a problem, because the amount of people evacuated will increase too. But recently the quality of detected and extinguished methods is better than the past, but the real way for to finish it is the prevention of these.

Spain has spent in a lot of methods for detected the fire forests, but the prevention is abandoned. Even, the “conatos” (when burned less of hectare) and the “fires” (when burned more of hectare) have increase in two spanish communities! And the principal causes are for stubble burning and the burning for to prepare a piece of land for agriculture.

Other factor that affects the fires-combat is the weather condition, for example the dryness for high temperatures in summer and the strong winds difficult this work. And in the future the global warming increases the frequency of these fires.

In my career I had learnt a lot of fires forests, and in general Chile has very good methods for prevention these tragedies. The Forest Corporation (CONAF) implements propaganda for to prevent these tragic successes.

Post 5 : How to avoid killing animals

Hi! Today I’ve saw an interesting video about a great idea from Andras Forgacs! In his video you can hear about bio-fabrication of leather! He explains that all begin from a crazy idea, but isn’t being too mad. We are around seven billion people and we need animal-resources! Actually the science’s incredible and, if it can make parts of human bodies, why not can it do leather or meat from animals?

It’s a fantastic idea, and he says that this method does no harm the animal.

The method consists in take cells from the animal, isolate the skins cells and multiply them! Later, these cells produce collagen. Also this method isn’t necessary to remove hair from the animal, and another thing that I think that is too important that the method don't produce waste.

In general I like the idea that he had, but I don’t know that the vegetarians or vegans people leave their life-habits for this implementation; I said that they chosen these food-habits not only for the animal murder, but with the fact of stop eat meat as such.

Really I think that you must to be aware with your opinions, obviously, but I mean that another day I saw a guy with a leather-bag, and on it he’d put a patch that it said “Animal Liberation” hahaha, he cause me shame!

I hope that you see the video, is interesting and it gives you a scientific message, bye!

Post 4 : Climate Change

The scientist says the climate change is caused for humans, and that will be increases if the greenhouse emissions to the atmosphere continue to rise.

Hundred of scientists that researched of climate change emit a new report than says than the temperatures aren’t rise like they expecting. They were waiting a faster change than the result. They explain that, and say than the climate’s natural variability influences in this process, but scientists emphasizes than it is happening, clearly!

We can see effects from this change; for example “ice is melting faster” or “ocean is becoming more acidic”, they implicate to destroy the habitat of a lot of animals!

In my opinion, I think that we don’t have the ability for stop the climate change, but we can minimize it! The carbon dioxide emissions are a natural process, because the entire organisms breathe! But the humans increase it with their cities and technologies. But, with the same capacity we can to apply a process like geoengineering! Or do something more simple, more daily, for example use more efficient cars, or ways to minimized the carbon dioxide, which be rise in the future.

Another important topic than Susan Solomon (professor) notes is the “increased frequency of heat waves”, than it could be implicates others things.
