Climate Change

 What did you do in lab?

        -     This week in lab we started off by discussing the Before the Flood film and some of the major issues it discussed. We talked about how the film explained the topic of climate change and how we as humans contribute to this greatly through burning fossil fuels, deforestation, methane emissions, pollution, etc. Some common questions that we had related to this film and climate change relate to what can we do to reverse the damage done by climate / can we do anything, and what changes can we make to protect the environment. We also worked in groups and were given a section of Iowa to focus on and see how the number of days with heavy rainfall has changed over time. My partner and I had the Drake University section where we found that the number of days with heavy rainfall increased over time by 33.33%.
