Log #3

         This week, I searched some articles about the solutions of the sea level rising. I found that different countries have different methods to solve sea level problem. Apart from what I have mentioned in my first two logs, the reasons why the sea level is rising are not only the under groundwater pumping and the glacier melting but also the burning the fossil fuels or other human activities, which have released huge amount of heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere. These gases will cause the rising of the temperature and make the ocean heater, which will increase the rising of the sea level. Sea level rising becomes quicker and quicker year by year so we have to come up with the solution to prevent sea level from rising too fast. Like Netherland, they built a huge gate to protect this city from storm and flooding. It also can automatically open or close to let ships to pass through. Additionally, in New York, the federal department spent about one billion dollars on the anti-flooding project. They used this money to build a U-shaped berm, living break water, and flood prevention plan to hug the lower side area to prevent this area from being submerged. What’s more, I think that the most effective way that we can do for our mother land to ease the sea level rising is decreasing the usage of the fuel. The less we use the fuel on our transportation or the factories, the less the heat-trapping gases will be released into the sky. So, let’s save our home land from being flooded by the sea.
