I calculated my ecological footprint and if everyone lived like me we would need.....3.7 Earths!! Pretty shocked by this but also not surprised #ees028

[Leeza @lhk223]

@snc223 Really interesting overview of the chapter. I also agree the homo sapiens were super interesting to read about. It was a great chapter overall. #ees028

[Leeza @lhk223]

Finally a nice day out...this is the May weather I love!! #ees028

[Leeza @lhk223]

The activity today was super interesting! I really enjoy it. So intresting to see how they’re using DNA to re-establish species! #ees028

@mas923ees @LehighEcology @mas923ees The weather this season has been so crazy!! Most of the east coast has barely seen snow. #ees028

[Leeza @lhk223]

Why is that people feel the need to kill rhinos and saw off their horns for a status symbol? It's disgusting that these poor rhino's are endangered and could go extinct in our lifetime if this trend keeps up. #savetherhinos #ees028

[Leeza @lhk223]

It's actually so crazy how great technology can be! Without the new drones to help give Perrier dogs vaccines, then ferrets would also be dying out. Technology has helped to complete this ecosystem and keep it alive. #ees028

[Leeza @lhk223]

Poor Sudan! It's not fair that these poor white rhinos are endangered and have to live their lives captured in the zoo. Hopefully his fame and pictures will keep his legacy alive. #ees028

[Leeza @lhk223]

@Trev66077412 I never even thought about how it could effect the environment. So crazy how everything is happening at once. The article you shared is really informative. #ees028

[Leeza @lhk223]

@ben88133832 Woah this is so crazy! The picture really show's a great visual of it. Thanks for sharing, Ben!

It takes one disaster to change the path we take. In 1948, when 150 people died from smog death, this began the clear air laws and strikes the beginning of the environmental movement and pollution control. Even a small mill town can teach us that industrial smoke can kill #ees028

A carbon tax on...kids??? This podcast raises the point that the more children we have, the more carbon emissions that will be released to eventually, a dangerous point. 1/2 a child less per woman would make a huge global impact. #ees028

[Leeza @lhk223]

Forgot to tweet this when I listened to the podcast about stink bugs. But one day I walked into my dorm room and it was filled with 100s of stink bugs!!!! Listening to that podcast gave me some PTSD!! These invasive species may not be harmful but sure are gross! #ees028

[Leeza @lhk223]

This weeks podcast about the border wall raises the important question: do we take care of our citizens or worry more about the environmental issues at risk? After hearing two different perspectives the question is difficult to answer... #ees028

Amount of increased CO2 in the atmosphere + amout of increases CO2 in the oceans = amount of known fossil fuels fuel emssions of CO2 https://t.co/Sz9Bj2ksR0 #climatemyth #ees028

[Leeza @lhk223]

#92 "C02 is coming from the ocean" but science says differently! Meassuments of carbon isotopes and falling oxygen in the atmosophere show that rising carbon dioxide is due to the burning of fossil fuels and can't be coming from the ocean #climatemyth #ees028

[Leeza @lhk223]

We can be confident of the extra CO2 in the atmosphere come from fossil fuels and not anywhere else because of oxygen decrease and known fossil fuels in CO2 emissions. #climatemyth #ees028

[Leeza @lhk223]

This is a little harder to analyze than the others, because the remains of the Little Ice Age are subject to speculation. But we do know from the end of the LIA to the 1950's the sun's output increased. https://t.co/xF0eJm0p1u #climatemyth #ees028

[Leeza @lhk223]

#48 "We're coming out of the Little Ice Age" The sun was warming up but the stopped in 1970. The Little Ice Age (LIA) actually occured during the 16th to 19th centuries and thes little information about it. #climatemyth #ees028

[Leeza @lhk223]

In this graph, you ca see dips that correlate well with the LIA but there are other factors that may have contributed to this as well including: volcanic activity, ocean conveyor belt, and the sudden population decrease due the black death during this time. #climatemyth #ees028
