Today in Human Geography we reviewed
and finished our climate change PowerPoint. When going back through the
PowerPoint, we skipped the first couple of slides which we had already seen or
didn’t have any notes to take. We started doing some deeper review on some
slides that were right before our last stopping point. After reviewing the PowerPoint
slides we had already went through there was three slides at the end, one
totally new, and two that we had went over but did not use the Internet links
attached. One was about oil, the second about opposing viewpoints, and the new
third about the new head of the EPA (Environmental Protections Agency) elected
by President elect Trump. The link on the oil company slide discussed how oil
companies deal with global warming, as their byproduct can and does have many
ecological and atmospherically based backlashes. However, oil companies aren’t
really interested in improving the environment because that would cut off the
massive flow of money they get. So, oil companies fight regulations and pay
scientists to come up with false results to support the falsity of global
warming. On top of that, oil companies tell everyone that global warming isn’t
real, then proceeds to refit their oil rigs against rising ocean waters, a
side-effect of global warming. Then there was a slide about opposing
viewpoints, which we did not look at links for. The last slide was ‘breaking
news’ about President Elect Trump putting in Scott Pruitt to head the EPA.
Scott Pruitt has before sued the EPA multiple times before and is pretty much
in self-denial over the fact that global warming is happening.
