Q: What do you think is the cause of Polar Climate Change?
A: The rise of global temperature change affects even the coldest parts of the world as the atmospheric layers because increasingly thin due to global warming and the ozone effect. The melting of polar ice caps are causing arctic animals to lose their habitats." So the cause is the ozone effect, which is thinning our atmosphere and increasing the global temperature like I said above.
Q: The effect that climate change has on some species in the Arctic and Antarctic is rather crucial, their life span is reducing. Do you think that we, humans, can maken a difference for them?
A: Yes. I think it begins with reducing the rate of global warming by cutting our overall gas and industrial emissions. I think we must preserve natural environments that help filter out some of the bad stuff in our air and water---this will help us to reduce the effect that climate change is having on the seals by lessening the magnitude of the climate change occuring.
Q: What do you think is the best way, that we, humans, can start making a change to stop climate change?
We need to cut down our carbon emissions. We need to preserve nature; trees filter our air, they absorb some of the bad stuff and keep it from rising. Getting away from the large amounts of gas emissions from industry, cars, etc. can help.
Q: Aside from climate change, what is hurting one of the species that we conducted research on is, the harp seal, is seal hunting. In this Act, the Canadian government has allows hunters to slaughter baby harp seals for reasons such as the high demand for fur. Do you think this should be banned or that it shouldn't be a big issue and that there are more important things to worry about.
I think it should be banned because it will, in conjunction with climate change, lead to the endangerment of these seals (Lower and unstable populations).
Q: Why do you think that we, humans, don't do enough to make a change?
A: We are too comfortable with our daily lives. The cars we drive, the pollution we create, the products we purchase, the industrial processes we support. It takes effort to make change, something that few of us are willing to put in.
