Climate Change Summary

So, I just realized I actually already did Friday's post, summarizing the article under the bibliography but here I will re-post it!

As we began to touch on in class, climate change has a very large impact on food sources for growing civilizations. Some cultures depend on food sources not only for themselves but for distribution and income. One livelihood most affected by climate change is that of fishermen. They depend on the fish population to grow rather than recede. However, with climate change and therefore a change in water temperature some fish species are beginning to die out either quickly or at a slower pace. In Impacts of Climate Variability and Change on Fishery- Based Livelihoods put all of this is into prospective and organized responsive techniques. People have been fishing since probably the beginning of time and with each new age whether an ice- age or a warmer atmosphere the types of fish choices differ and people have to learn to adapt. Fish is obviously more than just swimming cold- blooded creatures but rather a food source to 1.5 billion people. What needs to be done and as the article concludes is a way to adapt and embrace the change rather than fight it. Unfortunately, in our culture and the way we are treating the Earth, climate change will continue to push through, so something needs to be done to preserve the fishermen's livelihood and an excellent dietary food source.
