Jacques Cousteau stated that the Antarctic is one of the main factors in the cooling of the earth. He states that the reason for this is due to the fact that the colder water of the Antarctic flows down towards the tropics and mixes with the warmer water which results in the two different temperatures mixing and cooling down not only the surface water but also that atmosphere.

acetylcholine receptors and mimics the actions of acetylcholine.

Nicotine causes glutamate to speed up dopamine release. The result is a high level of dopamine that lasts…

Loggers need to understand that endangering animals and their habitats does not bode well for the loggers themselves. Destroying habitats means destroying animals, and destroying animals precipitates the inability to reproduce quickly enough to maintain a biodiverse equilibrium. This leads to a disruption within the ecosystem that can provoke wild consequences like stalling…
Cyclones are a spinning and possibly dangerous storm. These storms bring many problems that should be mitigated.
