Week+25+Jane+(period+1)

Sorry the discussion page won't let me link this web page for some reason. Please read, watch the video, and post a comment on what different types of factors are affecting the reindeer population.[|Facing Climate Change]

Patricia: Nice link Well this is an example of us adjusting to the changes global warming brings us and making use of what we know about genetics (homegeneous grouping regulations). Its a good article (?) of ecology and everything else. And I also liked the cool pictures.

Evan: I couldn't find the article you were talking about, but I liked the video. It talked about how human caused change in the environment is starting to prevent the reindeer from functioning normally or even living. Mining and oil drilling are two of the major immediate stressors on the reindeer population. The quote about global warming from, I think, really shows the understanding of the herder. While he isn't going to personally suffer from "conditions a hundred years from now," he knows that it will spell disaster for the reindeer, which are integral for Norwegians (and others?) that have domesticated reindeer. This is going to sound random, but the women who is narrating has such a cool fucking voice.

Well, I would first like to start off by saying that the pictures looked really nice. I like how the video highlights that, although there are many bits of factors that affect reindeer population, global warming is the primary factor that affects the population in the long run. Sara

I couldn’t get to the video for Jane’s senior discussion. The pictures were really cool and really eye opening to the effect of Global Warming. Nadia

I also couldn't get to the video fro Jane's discussion. But is really liked the pictures of the reindeer. One factor that is affecting the reindeer population is that the government regulations encourage homogenous herds that are more vulnerable to changes in climate. I found it interesting that Britt Marie said that Finnmark without reindeer is like Seattle without electricity. This shows how important reindeer are. Christie

Yeah...im thoroughly confused...maybe we can do this next week as a discussion cause the video isnt workin -Josh

I agree with Josh... im kind of confused too lol but i like the pics :) Harper

Donte Turner: I couldn't find the article, but the video was very informational. I didn't know that humans helped migrate deers to climates that is better suited for them as a result of global warming. I also liked the music in the background of the video!

The Video did not work for me. ~Madelaine Czufin

I feel, that this video was really over dramatic and I ended up feeling bad for the people who herd the reindeers than the reindeers. The lasso ring metaphor was really ridiculous and a large stretch. However it was effective in highlighting the effects of global warming on reindeer and the pictures really aided the argument.

I feel like us humans just ruin the earth for every other animal on earth, especially thinking that our needs and desires are more important that those of the animals. We build factories and mine coal just so that we can make money and live overindulged life without thinking about the other species on this earth that we affect. The reindeer are just one example and i just kinda felt like going on a rant. -Ido
