Der Hurrikan Helene führte zu katastrophalen Zerstörungen weitab von der Küste. Wahrscheinlich trug dazu vor allem bei, dass die Böden dieser Gegenden bereits zuvor extrem viel Wasser enthielten. Die Katastrophe zeigt, wie der Interviewpartner der New York Times sagt, dass es keinen „sicheren Hafen“ gibt, an dem die Folgen der globalen Erhitzung nicht zu spüren wären. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/01/climate/asheville-climate-change-flood.html

An der mexikanischen Westküste entsteht mit "Costa Azul" für 2 Milliarden Dollar das erste Terminal für den Export von texanischem Gas nach Asien. Es signalisiert eine weitreichende und für die Dekarbonisierung möglicherweise katastrophale Verschiebung im Gasgeschäft. Die USA könnten zunehmend auch zum Lieferanten für Asien werden. Ob weitere Terminals errichtet werden, hängt von der Klimapolitik der US-Regierung ab, die gerade ein Moratorium für LNG-Terminals ausgerufen hat. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/13/climate/mexico-natural-gas-biden.html

Die New York Times illustriert ihren Bericht zu der Copernicus-Zusammenfassung der Klimaentwicklung 2023 mit zwei Infografiken zu den Monatstemperaturen der vergangenen Jahre und zu Temperaturen in den verschiedenen Regionen der Erde. Noch ist unklar, ob die trotz El Niño unerwartet hohen Temperaturen Signal einer Beschleunigung der globalen Erhitzung sind. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/09/climate/2023-warmest-year-record.html

In den USA wurde in Anwesenheit des Energieministers, die erste große kommerzielle Fabrik zur Direct Air Capture also der direkten Entnahmevon CO2 aus der Atmosphäre, eröffnet. Die Biden-Administration fördert diese Technologie mit enorm hohen Beträgen. Die Kosten für den Entzug einer Tonne CO2 aus der Atmosphäre in der neuen Anlage werden auf 600 bis 1000 Dollar geschätzt https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/09/climate/direct-air-capture-carbon.html

Die Extremwetter-Ereignisse dieses Jahres entsprechen den Vorhersagen der Klimawissenschaft. Der Guardian hat dazu zahlreichende Forschende befragt und viele Statements in einem multimedialen Artikel zusammengestellt. Alle Befragten stimmen darin überein, dass die Verbrennung fossiler Brennstoffe sofort beendet werden muss, um eine weitere Verschlimmerung zu stoppen. Festgestellt wird auch, dass die Verwundbarkeit vieler Communities bisher unterschätzt worden ist. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/aug/28/crazy-off-the-charts-records-has-humanity-finally-broken-the-climate

Die New York Times hat mehrere Klimawissenschaftlerinnen nach den Gründen für die außergewöhnlichen Temperaturen im Juni und Juli befragt. Zu den möglichen Ursachen gehört eine Schwächung des Jeststreams durch die globale Erhitzung. Diese Hypothese ist noch nicht bestätigt.

This one is super interesting... What happens if you add this to the front of the sentence... "The quilt panels tell us that Disney fandom is creating a space..." ?

"seems" doesn't work here. Why not do you think?

Is this all one block? Perhaps noting where this image rests within the block will help maintain the connection.

Now that you have the hang of putting the word "seems" to work, go back and think about what each instance means... Does it make sense to take out "seems" in some of these instances? If so why? If not why not?

this is a colloquial, colorful way of putting it... If you're going for more objective sounding language

which one?

How might you arrange this text so that it more clearly "goes with" the image of Ariel and not the image below?

what visit? Keep in present tense will force you to focus on this page instead of your visit.

"According to...." **Name your source within your text.

interesting.. but i wonder about the assumption made here... might the music impose culture as opposed to merely reflecting it?

why do you say so?

Do we need to know specifically where they work?

What might this be evidence of exactly?

nice connections made here.. how are film fans and sports fans similar? different?

who reads this source? why?

who?

Okay, but more useful, I think, would be specific discussion of fandoms more generally...

What part of this book is useful to you? The intro? The essay re: Bush? Getting specific will help.

What do you think about your own thinking about these texts?

Yes... What about getting more specific? Or reiterating the question or concept using different words... Remember we did this at the beginning of the semester with our research question?

which one?

Wow THIS is interesting... Can you separate the two? What about this https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/04/the-underlying-bias-of-facial-recognition-systems/476991/?

How do you come to this conclusion? And what do you mean by "important"? Important in what way? Does the Haltman text help you answer this question?

Jefferson has very little to say about the costliness of university. I find this particular quip amusing for a variety of reasons. Firstly, Jefferson was not monetarily efficient in his lifetime. He amassed great wealth in his youth only to died in crippling debt and penniless, his family selling his property posthumously. This tiny, vague sentence is his concession that "money matters, I guess" while still maintaining that he will not be the one to deal with it. Ironically, perhaps because of his lack of specificity or inevitable modern forward movement, universities have become corporations focused on selling their expensive brand. This modern corporation monetary system is antithetical of Jefferson's vision to provide a place of intellectual growth and of his views on small, local government.

Within Jefferson's masterfully crafted syntax, we are able to see a passion for government and infatuation with honorable identity. There is a fervor within this particular passage as Jefferson begins a diatribe on ethicalness within people. I believe the comparison of #4 to the rest of his organization is illuminating to Jefferson's genuine devotion to create a better university and country for generations through mentoring. This is seen within his own past as he, along with other revolutionary American figures such as Henry Clay and John Marshall, were mentored by George Wythe, a Virginian layer.

I think this passage highlights everything we still learn today as students not just in the classroom, but outside of it. As students we not only learn from our professors, but from each other, and we do that through our social interactions and relations. In collaborating with other students wether it be in the lab, working on a group project, or just engaging in conversation with a group of friends, we are learning new ideas and skills, which is an important skill we must take with us into the real world that we'll enter after college. -Emily McClung

I think that the fact that the founders of the University elected to put the University of Virginia in the county that had the biggest white population speaks volumes about the men who started our great University and the beliefs that the Founders had. This passage reveals that the Founders wanted a place with a big white population in order to attract rich plantation owner's sons, because those are the kinds of people they wanted attending their University. However now in 2017, that isn't the case, no longer does UVA just attract the rich, white people as the Founders wanted it too when they first started the institution. UVA now is home to a student body rich in diversity and culture and I think that speaks volumes about how far this institution has come. But I would also like to point out, there is still progress that this institution needs to make and steps that must be taken in order to truly make our school the most equal place it can be. -Emily McClung

This passage foreshadows that eventually the University will further progress their medicine program but at this time and place do not have the resources to do so because they don't have a hospital in which students can study and gain clinical experience. I think it is very interesting in just 200 years since the beginning of the University how much the medicine program has flourished with the building of the UVA hospital, which is the number one hospital in the state of Virginia. Starting out, the medicine program only taught so many classes and now the medical program is thriving and attracts many different, diverse people from every walk of life. Now, I would like to focus on the second sentence specifically because I find it quite engaging and interesting that the authors of the Rockfish Gap Report thought that a hospital would attract numbers of poor because they would leave their own houses to accept the charities of a hospital. I feel many people, especially older generations, still have this belief that people in poverty take advantage of the charities of a hospital. I for one know that it happens at times because I've seen it happen before firsthand working and shadowing in an emergency room, but honestly it's not that people are taking advantage of the charities of a hospital as they state here, but instead a lot of people in poverty don't have good health, and don't have good healthcare insurance, so their only way to get good health care is by going to an emergency room at a hospital. I for one am a huge advocate for providing good health care for people in poverty because I believe a lot stems from having good healthcare. If you're healthy, you have chance to make your life better by looking for a job and making a living, but if your'e sick, like a lot of people in poverty are it's hard to do that, which is why so many people in poverty flock to places like emergency rooms when they are sick and not healthy. I think that the same thing would have happened had there been a hospital open in the community at the time the University opened. Poor people would have gone to the hospital and accepted the charities of it, but not because they were taking advantage, they would have gone because it's their only means of getting good healthcare. -Emily McClung

I think it is interesting how this sentence describes that the Rockfish Gap Report is "is the genuine fruit in the alliance between church and State" because explicitly in the report the writers state that they won't offer any divinity classes at the University as it is starting out, and I think that this sentence is a contradiction of that statement. The University was built with a library ( the Rotunda) at the heart of it because they wanted to dissociate away from religion, and put knowledge first. So why then, can the Rockfish Gap Report be the genuine fruit in the alliance between church and State, when the vision when opening this University was to put knowledge at the center, and not church and religion? Therefore, in theory if knowledge was supposed to be at the center, I'm interested as to why there is such a glaring contradictory sentence. I think this contradictory shows that the writers of the Rockfish Gap Report had varying beliefs and that came across in the report. To relate, this back to my course that I'm taking called making the Invisible Visible, I think this sentence makes "visible" the invisible varying beliefs of the writers of the Rockfish Gap Report. -Emily McClung
