Effects of Global Warming Over the years, the population of the planet has continuously been rising. The Earth is meant to sustain a population of approximately two million people, but recently the population has increased to almost seven million people. With this rise, a number of problems have presented themselves. The main one causing all the controversy is global warming. The Earth steadily gets warmer, but many people feel humans are not to blame because it happens naturally. Scientists…

Overview The Earth goes through many natural changes like sea levels slightly changing, earthquakes, and tornadoes. Global warming has greatly increased and became one of biggest contributors to the changes on the Earth. Immediately I decided I wanted to learn more about global warming. Global warming has changed climate a lot since when I was younger. Right now it is December 18th and we have no snow. I think this is the first winter that we have had no snow; usually there is so much that we…

In 2004, Chef Claus Meyer, and Chef Rene Redzepi opened a Danish restaurant named NOMA, in Copenhagen. The name NOMA is a contraction of the Danish words for “Nordic” and “Food”. NOMA is currently the most important restaurant in the world. Together Chef Rene Redzepi and Chef Claus Meyer popularized, and invented the idea of Nordic cuisine. They populated their menu with items such as wild berries, musk ox, and sauces made with beer rather than wine. NOMA’s success has empowered other…

distributed around the globe and not distinctively between countries. For example, he displays a model that shows the percentage of all countries population that obtain Type A blood, and it is clearly shown it is all over the world. If you take a look Greenland, one can notice that the west side of country has a higher percentage of Type A while the East side has a very moderate population containing the allele, but this does not mean that they type of humans on the east side are a different…

We live on a beautiful and life giving planet that we don’t want to see being destroyed but still it seems that we carry out extreme and illogical activities that counter that presumption. Humans by nature are selfish and although that is something we cannot change anytime soon, there needs to be some sort of education for people to understand their actions that they play on the environment. We only have one planet and we should take care of it. The incredible devastation that animal agriculture…

Plastic Bottles Are Just Big Trouble “50 billion plastic bottles are used each year in America, that’s enough to wrap around the world 190 times,” (Leithman). Even though plastic bottles are popular now, when they were first created in 1947, they were very expensive and not many people bought them. However, in 1960, high-density polyethylene was made and introduced to the public. As the demand for plastic bottles escalated, consumers produced more plastic bottles for cheap, while selling the…

to be constant, it is not. It could be reasonable to assume that as the suns output of energy changes so would our climate (Causes of Climate Change). From 1650 to 1850, there was a little ice age due to a decrease in solar activity. This caused Greenland to be cut off by ice from about 1410 – 1700s (Causes of Climate…

They have a thick layer of fat under their skin, which is surprisingly black. They have a dense undercoat helping insulate heat. “Each hair shaft is pigment-free and transparent with a hollow core that scatters and reflects visible light, much like what happens with ice and snow”(1). Although their fur appears to be white, it is actually transparent. Insulating heat is key to surviving the artic temperatures. The bears are seen bathing in snow and water after a swim or meal, to maximize their…

It is estimated that the first habitants of North America moved there from Asia. Over time, a large group of them began to slowly expand southward, occupying most of the territory we now call "United States". They came to populate a fairly large area whose main areas were the shores of the Pacific Ocean in the northeast, in the mountains and deserts of the Southwest, and the Mississippi River in the Midwest. As we can see, the main groups of early settlers of America were expanding into areas…

from climate change are now happening today: loss of sea ice, increased sea level rise and longer and more intense heat waves (Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet). The global sea level rose about 17 centimeters in the last century and the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have decreased in size (Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet). According to the World Bank’s vice president, Rachel Kyte, people don’t have time to lose (Koch). Kyte is really pushing for a major action to help…
