The lack of common knowledge by people is both negligent on their end and on the organizations that promote information on climate change. The largest problems with climate change are: lack of knowledge by individuals, lack of participation by governments to collaborate and share information, and the…

The deadliest of these extinction events happened more than 252 million years ago. The event is known as the Permian-Triassic Extinction Event or the “Great Dying” that killed around 90 per cent of all species on…

According to Ariany (2013, p.537-538), CEDAW is the least respected human rights treaty, since many states parties made their reservations to CEDAW.

3. What are the determinants of price elasticity of demand? [10] For some products buyers are price sensitive (products are elastic), and for some products buyers are not price sensitive (products are inelastic). People are very sensitive to one products price change if the product has a similar product in the market. But sometimes when the price of a motor bike increases by 15%, the consumers are affected by it, but on the other hand when price of salt increases by 20% people aren’t…

Climate change is defined as a long-term change in the global climate, specifically increasing average atmospheric temperature (Dictionary). In reality, it is not just an increase in temperature, climate change is rising sea levels, habitat loss, water contamination, loss of biological diversity, and so much more. In the past, climate change was a controversial debate topic, now, it is a widely accepted, inevitable fact (Think Again). Evidence for climate change became prevalent in the 1890’s,…

When buying fish at the store or eating at a seafood restaurant most people don’t give much thought to where the food they’re eating came from beyond “the ocean.” Even less consideration is put into how the fish was caught or if the practice is sustainable. Today’s mentality is all about instant gratification regardless of future consequences, whether it be health or environmental risk. Many people may think the Ocean is an inexhaustible source of food because it covers over 70% of the Earths…

When most people think of climate change, they think of polar bears and melting ice caps. Most people do not think of the families in North Dakota who lost their homes to floodwaters in 2009 or the twenty million people left homeless after the catastrophic 2010 monsoon in Pakistan. However, these disasters are the real consequences of climate change that we are facing. Climate change is the warming of our planet to dangerous temperatures as a result of the accumulation of greenhouse gases…

Global climate change (GCC) has become a very controversial topic. People often argue about whether or not it actually exists. Some people just refer to it as global warming.

These include, but are not limited to, rising sea levels, increasing temperatures, and melting of ice (Shaftel, 2016). One of the biggest causes has been the increase in the amount of greenhouse…
