Eugenia’s Fast Food Impact Sources

https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/324847#long-term-impact

I liked this source because it describes the long term as well as short term effects of fast food and references many research I can use on my own paper

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4772793/

I chose this source because I want to focus one of my paragraphs specifically on the effects fast foods have on the heart.

For my third source I will use the movie “What The Health” as it is very descriptive and helpful in advocating the negative impact fast food has on our bodies.

Alex’s 3 Primary Sources

I really thought this was an excellent source as it clearly visualizes the transition from the original landscape to the way it is today. It also highlights things like the red tide and the issues with water flow in Southern Florida.

https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/evergladestrust/pages/3237/attachments/original/1553520247/Nutrients_AlgaeBlooms_-_HABs_Report_2.pdf?1553520247

This source is a somewhat long scientific journal taking a greater look at the problem of the red tide and what’s going on in the water in Florida. Although the source is long and difficult to sort through, it is necessary for supporting the logos in my paper.

A more general look at the Everglades  – the information from this source would be more useful at the beginning of my paper in order to introduce and support some of my main ideas.

The influence of ocean current change

 

Source 1:

https://oceanconservancy.org/blog/2019/12/02/bringing-ocean-years-un-climate-change-conference/

As the Janis’ blog says, although oceans play a huge role in the functioning of our planet, in the UN climate change negotiations, countries have largely ignored our oceans. The ocean will be more prominent than ever before, not only because climate change is hurting our ocean and the communities and marine life that rely on it, but also because the ocean can provide sustainable climate solutions and drive new momentum for climate action.

Source 2:

https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2950/arctic-ice-melt-is-changing-ocean-currents/

In the news ‘Arctic Ice Melt Is Changing Ocean Currents’, because of the rapid melting of sea ice, the main current in the Arctic is faster and more turbulent. Now part of the Arctic’s delicate environment, it’s full of freshwater, the result of man-made climate change. This freshwater is important in the Arctic, in part because it floats over warm saltwater, helping to protect sea ice from melting and thus helping to regulate the earth’s climate. The Arctic ocean current changes lead to the loss of sea ice and freshwater, thus affecting climate change.

This video studies the relationship between the ocean and climate change in a documentary way. It can help understand the complex and essential relationship between the ocean and the earth’s climate.
