So far, I have stuck with the idea of water and its quality in the next 100 years. Through this research, I have been able to find information on climate change and how it affects water. So I think that I can unravel new interesting facts about it. For me, the big idea that stands out to me right now is that water affects many things. After all, without water many animals would be in big trouble. I am considering after reading through all of my research, that I would be interested in a senior project related to climate change, water, food and the human population.
“Climate change will affect water resources through its impact on the quantity, variability, timing, form, and intensity of precipitation.” I found that this was true with most of the information I found in my research. I feel like using the statistics I found about the rainfall and temperature rise predictions of the future from climate change models, could be used to make an interesting vision of the future. Then combine that with food and human population, to get an extremely complicated cause and effect problem. Though I feel that my ideas are continuing to come together, I don’t know where to go with all the information and where to go more specific. Right now, I am trying to figure out what aspect of the correlations between climate change, water, food and the human population would be, or is it as specific as it can get?
Overall, my plan for senior project would be to have how climate change affects the water. Then I would have a sort of cause and effect discussion of how the water then affects the environments and the ability to grow food which they effects the human population and its carrying capacity. After the discussion, I would have a piece where it discusses how the future will look and if possible explain for different major parts of the world. I was wondering if that would seem too large of a scope, or should the idea of what the future will look like be focused to one region of the world?
I like this! You did an amazing job explaining your process. I think that you also could've added your research and where your information came from so that I can see the actual facts. I think that since we'll be working together we both need a better understanding of how exactly we're going to incorporate it to our movie.
ReplyDeleteI personally don't think it is too large of a scope, because it is all important. Water is one of our most sacred resources, and this change needs to be brought into the light, to more people. Due to the 5 min. limit, you might have to shave out some minor details. Overall, I feel your argument is very strong! Keep working!

I am a little confused where your three sources are but you have a lot of great ideas and themes for your project. However, like Jade said it is a huge area to cover but I am sure if you refine it to a few specific points, problems and solutions it will be an incredible project. Just be sure to fully relate each topic in a sound way with research because I am for seeing that being a big problem with this project as a whole. Go Kate Lee!
