Palm oil is in charge of expansive scale forest transformation in the tropics and broad carbon outflows, adding to global warming. As global demand for palm oil keeps on expanding, tropical forests crosswise over Southeast Asia, and progressively Africa and Latin America, are at danger for transformation into vast scale palm oil plantations. In traditional plantation agriculture, a single crop is grown over a large area planted in neat rows with well-developed network of transportation and…

puddles, buckets and much more. But there is one difference in this mosquito then the rest. This specie carries Dengue and Chikungunya which is an infection that causes joint issues, fever, and even death. However, these diseases are only in the tropics and…

In recent centuries, global temperatures have been rising due to the increased amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Scientists have been studying climate change in order to better understand human impact on it and what we need to change. One of the biggest factors in climate is the ocean currents. They help to determine how water and air move around the world: where it goes, what temperature it is, how much nutrients is in the water, etc. However, scientists have only…

The horrendous and catastrophic Hurricane Katrina changed Americans view about how the government is able to respond to emergency situations. With the help of many emergency crew and organizations, New Orleans was able to slowly rebuild…

Byproducts of Rising Global Temperature The terms global warming and climate change are often thought of as interchangeable, while they are to some extent, particularly within the context of politics, in science the terms are taken more literally. As discussed earlier, the scientific community is in agreement with regards to the fact that global temperatures are increasing. So calling the phenomenon global warming is not technically incorrect, however, global warming does not encompass the…

Oceans are large bodies of salt water which hold the largest variety of plants and animals on earth. Oceans have currents that travel worldwide, generated by breaking winds and water salinity. These currents also speed up ships and transport nutrients around the world. Marine plants also generate the majority of the world’s oxygen, and regulate climate worldwide. In conclusion, oceans are large bodies of saltwater which hold the majority of life. They also make more of the world habitable. Their…

It also explains that it affect various other things. Even though this happens as a part of global warming, it itself have some of its own effects. It kills some fish, it creates floods, mudslides in California, Hurricanes in Mexico, ice storms in New England, Tornadoes in the south, droughts in Asia, and forest fires in sumatra as well (Tennesen 114). It has all sorts of impacts to it. It is understandable how dangerous it is. The effects are throughout the world. All of the effects have caused…
