Question: When you are asking for facts about the climate of a certain area, what does directional mean?
The blank form has a section titled “Climate” with sub sections on Temperature/Rainfall, Seasonal and Directional?

I don’t understand what they are looking for when they write “directional”

Help?

Answer by krm29619
First step..as a community we should stop using plastic products..then should stop using all petroleum products..then start growing more plants..internationally first must stop drilling the earth for oil..then must save all existing forest..these actions sure can reduce the pollution significantly..

Here is one scientist’s take:

Many of the comments to previous blogs have stated that models are “just” a set of assumptions, and that the processes in the Earth’s climate are so complex that they defy our attempts to model them with any rigor. There are assumptions that are made when models are built, but those assumptions are not simply pulled out of a bag of magic tricks. In fact, arbitrary, unjustified assumptions are generally repelled from the modeling community because, first and foremost, the models need to describe some set of observations and the evolution of those observations, i.e. prediction. Most components of models are, just like my original modeling efforts, a representation of mathematical equations that rigorously describe the motion of the atmosphere. The idea that I and my colleagues would work from some potpourri of unjustified assumptions is, in fact, a bit offensive.

I dunno relate finding new energy sources as opposed to oil/coal as part of it maybe.
I like the idea of finding new energy, but when all the blabber on is “oh noes the world is gonna die oh noes” it gets kinda repetative and boring….
I gotta say I’m taking environmental science now and it all pretty much sounds the same “yay conserve” and “boo earth is dying”

Question: What is the correlation between human evoution and climate change? ?
I’m supposed to do a report about this. So do any of you know a good source for this kind of subject? I mean can climate change really triggers human evolution because from many sources that I have read, all of them claimed that it all started from africa.

all of the yucky greenhouse gases are going into the air and killing our ozone layer which is like the earth’s sun tan lotion. therefore causing the glaciers to melt and the polar bears to die. recycling helps.

Here’s some suggestions…

TV, newspapers, radio
