place like Hawai'i, is also being transformed over time with relation to climate change and the evolving changes to the environment. Nunn (2013) states: “Climate and geology are the principal controls on global landform development. Climatic and oceanographic controls, particularly precipitation, are important causes of landform variation throughout the Pacific Islands.” (pg. 45). So not only are the social and cultural changes contributing to the transformation of Hawai'i, but so are the…

Reducing the nitrogen fertilizer used in the production process offers a reduction in the carbon footprint left behind. An increase in equipment use for transplanting could increase the CO2 investment so it would wise to reduce the use of tools. Making changes to the individual components in the proposed model system could be helpful in reducing carbon footprint as the results show. 5. What next steps did the authors suggest? Any future studies or additional research? Ways to make their…

Climate Change New York City in the beginning of March of 2016 first high temperature at 75 degrees and low at 57 degrees , a year ago the same date the high was 53 degrees high and the low 39 degrees. That’s a difference for the high of 18 degree and 14 for the low. Flowers and plants began to bloom this year at end of February ,usually their blooming season starts in April. Climate refers to longer-term averages, the weather averaged over several seasons, years or decades. In New York, we…

Land clearing is the removal of native vegetation and deforestation in Australia, including destruction of native bushlands, woodlands, savannah , forests and native grasslands for replacement with agricultural, urban and other land uses. Australia has been responsible for large amounts of deforestation and land clearing since the European settlement in the late 18 century. Australia has lost nearly 40% of all its forest despite being around 75% of Australia being inhospitable deserts or arid…

As rat population grows, infestations has become a rapidly growing problem for those residing in areas prone to warm, dry climate as climate change is among us. These rats have been said to have retreated from the sewers due to flooding and unwelcoming shelter for their own. Article #1 speaks of the rising percentage of reports with the quote, “calls to pest controllers rose by 18%... this figure will increase by a further 20% this year”. Firstly, the commonly known brown, Norway, rats infest…

The patterns of the variation of elements such as atmospheric pressure, precipitation, humidity, temperature and wind count among the elements that make up climate of a region. In the article, the climate of Southern Ontario has been measured and the issue being presented is the incoming warm climate that is encroaching in the area. Warm weather has several importance in the survival of plants and animals alike. It also has several impacts on human beings as articulated in the…

You’ve probably heard about climate change in the newspapers, the radio, or on television. This might mean that you’re annoyed by all the heated discussions and headlines you see everywhere and just want to get away from it. But, I’m telling you that climate change is the biggest problem that humanity has ever faced. And that the time for anything to be done about it might have passed. Climate change is already affecting the world, the things you can do about it are getting smaller, and deniers…

In this day in age, people induce a high dosage of toxins and environmental pollutants due to a rapid increase in industrialization, production of smoke, emission of automobile, man-made landfills and other man-made innovations. Fortunately, these toxins can be filtered out due to one of NASA’s spinoffs, Arocide. More than two decades ago, NASA-funded scientist were in the search of such technology that would help grow food for long term missions. The downside was that it was a sealed…

see the virtual raping of our natural resources; we do not do it for survival, that would be excusable, but for comfort. One side says that climate change is an absolute fact and here is the data. The other side says that there has always been a severe fluctuation in the weather, and here is the data. I am not certain of Global Warming or Climate Change; I assume the real truth is somewhere in the middle. However, in an ever changing landscape of ideological beliefs, there is one inescapable…

These disasters cause a lot of hardship for people and their community, and can ultimately result in death, which has been told in a lot of ‘Australian folklore’. Australia is also one of the driest of all populated continents in the world, with its climates varying all the time. Large parts of Australia may experience a drought at any given moment. In the last 100 years or so, Australia has actually experienced two significant '100-year droughts'. In the early 1980s and 1990s, Australia saw…
