In 1968 810,000 tons of cod were caught from the Grand Banks.
In 1992 the fishing industry collapsed.
Over a decade later the fish population has still yet to increase
This is probably due to dispensation which is a lowering of reproduction rates that occurs when a density of a fish population is no longer sustainable
Isostacy – changes in sea level that result from the moving up and down of the earth’s surface
When volume of sea basins decrease, sea level rises
When volume of sea basin increases, sea level falls
Eustacy – sea-level changes that happen as a result of variations in water volume (i.e Glaciers melting)
Time Frame: 100,000 years to lifetime of a person
Expected rise from steric effect around Greenland and Antartica
Less Dramatic Sea-Level Changes
Should top greenhouse emitters be forced to either admit or compensate environmental refuges?
2 Approaches to Modeling: Bottom-Up and Top-Down Modeling
“Politicization is inevitable for a theory that gores so many oxen of the high and mighty. Politicization, however doesn’t necessarily invalidate the science… but it does complicate things.”

Behind the dam, spread out in the reservoir, are more than 6 million cubic yards of heavily contaminated soil, at some spots nearly 30 feet deep.
If water escapes to nearby streams, acid could end up in the Pacific Ocean
Should companies be allowed to practice Open Pit Mining? Private Land? Also, who is responsible for paying for the clean-up?
