Question: How did location, climate, and natural resources affect where ppl live and how they trade in (continued below)?
How did location, climate, and natural resources affect where ppl live and how they trade in Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, and Cuba?????

Answer:

Answer by MBK
In Brazil, in the early days of European settlement the main area was the NE where they could grow sugar, in those days the most profitable use for a New World colony. Import slaves, export sugar. Climate-based choice. Plus the advantage of being on the coast for trade.

Later on the SE became more populous and much more prosperous. Still on the coast (easiest place to trade from in the days of sailing ships) (/before infrastructure of roads/railways had been built). Healthier climate, better soil, not so dry.

The interior is still much more thinly populated. The Amazon jungle is thick, full of dangerous beasts, hot and sticky, and it rains a lot. Not an easy place to develop agriculture or industry. Extractive industries obviously go where the resource is, so there are mining towns in otherwise remote regions, and also, indeed especially, in the state of Minas Gerais which has the natural resources (minerals) and also is relatively close to domestic markets (the Sao Paulo/Rio/Brasilia triangle) and ports.

Mexico – people don’t live in the desert much, because neither the pre-Columbian indigenous Mexicans nor the European late-medieval conquerors/immigrants had any technology or desire to do so. In the pre-industrial centuries, where the corn grows well is where the people lived. Mexico City on the high plateau as a central market-town gathering-place convenient for administration yet also fertile and with a nice enough climate. Later Guadelajara and other cities also grew on the Plateau. More recently some cities have grown big on the US border just because of the artificial line – Ciudad Juarez, Tijuana, Nuevo Laredo etc are where they are entirely because of the poitical/military forces that put the frontier where it is. US businesses set up there to take advantage of lower wages in Mexico (maquiladora) to make or assemble goods as near to US markets as they could while still being in Mexico, and export them to the US. Some Mexicans also moved to these cities so they could live in Mexico and work (legally or illegally) in cities close to but on the US side of the border such as San Diego and El Paso (again, typically for lower wages than Americans would accept). Cancun is where it is because the sea is warm the beaches are beautiful, it has the natural resources for a holiday resort (= what Americans call a “vacation destination”).

Question: How has the climate changed since the late Pleistocene epoch?
The climate has obviously changed a great deal since the last glacial maximum, but does anyone have any knowledge on the specifics? Coastline maps would also be useful in this case.

Thanks
What stages did the Earth go through in order to get to the present though? How quickly did the sea level rise in order to get where it is now?

Answer:

Answer by jim m
I’ve wondered about this too. They say the sea level has risen about 100 meters or more because of the ice melting but the data to support this estimate is not available. I wonder about the coast line around Europe and if sea level was 100 meters lower where exactly the shore was 12 thousand years ago. Maybe Atlantis is under the North Sea or somewhere near England.

Question: How does the polar jet stream move from summer to winter? How would this affect the climate to the east of the?
How does the polar jet stream move from summer to winter? How would this affect the climate of the locations where it moves?

Answer:

Answer by cyswxman
In general the polar jet moves equatorialward as the respective hemispheres cool during their falls and winters. The jet itself does not really affect the climate as their courses and locations are more of a responsive nature to where the air masses move themselves.

Question: Why is climate easier to predict than weather?
When people make the comment that if we can not predict weather a couple of days from now, how can we predict it 100 years from now, the answer is always there is a difference between climate and weather.

So what makes climate easier to predict? Do we have such a good understanding of the earth’s climate that we can make such predictions? If so why are the oceans cooling and not warming like the models predict? Why did nobody make such a prediction?

Answer:

Answer by Look A
climate is long term and weather is short term… if you look at it variations in temp. are easier to predict from past temps. and cycling, where weather is very variable on an hour to hour basis…

Question: Climate change is an environmental issue in the news almost daily. Air pollution impacts us on a global level.?
Climate change is an environmental issue in the news almost daily. Air pollution impacts us on a global level. What are the implications of global warming? And, do you feel the efforts to improve air quality are worth the economic costs?

Answer:

Answer by A Modest Proposal
I am very strongly inclined to think that this is a prompt for an essay for school. The wording is very similar to ones I have seen. I have to wonder why you would decide to lead into the post with a statement, and not a summarizing question that would lead in to further details (as most people anywhere on this site, even outside of the Global Warming section, do), if your intent was really to ask this and not get answers for homework.

I think you should do your own work. However, to answer your question vaguely so I don’t get reported:

>>>What are the implications of global warming?

Rising sea levels, acidification of oceans, alteration of weather patterns around the globe.

>>>And, do you feel the efforts to improve air quality are worth the economic costs?

Yes.

Question: Who else seems to think that Congress used the MJ death to sneak in the Climate Change bill?
I personally think that Congress used the media attention on MJ’s death to sneak in the Climate bill without it gaining attention from the masses. It sounds like something they would do. Anyone else agree, disagree?
Pelosi is probably the one person in this country who is the most out of touch with society.
