Variations of green

Climate change is a problem that the entire world is dealing with. As our planet warms our weather pattern continues to change towards a more severe path. Species are dying off as a result of the world warming up. Observing the pattern of the warming of the globe over the past 30 years has people asking the scientific question, is global climate change man-made? We are going to go over the natural causes of climate change, what is causing the process to speed up, and what the people of the…

Problems of having global treaty for climate change. There are always some advantage and disadvantage to any kind of law. The same is applied to having the global law for climate change, but there more disadvantage than having advantage of global climate change policy. The main disadvantage of having global law will be on many developing and underdeveloped in this word that need the cheap resource of energy to develop. If there are global treaty for climate change then these countries won’t…

After giving and discussing the lesson with the class. I will show the students a video giving different reasons of what causes global climate change. In order to assure active learning of lower level students, I will assign the students an activity where they sit in groups of four. The four students in each group have to create two collages, one for natural causes and one for human causes, and give five statements on each collage of why global warming is a natural cause or a human cause. Two…

The world is starting to reach a tipping point with regard to global climate change. In fact, “several studies have suggested that temperature stabilization at or below 2 degrees C above pre-industrial temperatures should be the goal of climate change policy. Warming above this level would likely cause large areas of the Greenland Ice Sheet to melt, would put the West Antarctic Ice Sheet at substantial risk, and would cause widespread disruption to global ecosystems and the hydrologic cycle.”…

Scientists, when it comes to responsibility, will take credit when something helps people, but not when something kills a lot of people. If people’s tax dollars are paying for something, people do have a right to say what is being done with your tax money. Most scientists, if you ask them, will say that they have ethics. What they usually mean, according to Miller in lecture, is the legal thing. The law simply states what you can or can not do. It is just a piece of paper, more or less. Ethics…

If one starts to observe how the global political, environmental, and social issues have played out, one begins to see a large dominant factor in the wealth and gains of the global north, at the expense of the global south. Historically, food has been a crucial element out of a handful few of which we need to survive. From subsistence, to mass production, to global networking of food chains and distribution, it is clear that a country as resourceful as Brazil has overtime seen many changes in…

The Truth Hurts The future of globalization is one of potential, potential to be many things. The world may globalize to a point where all countries will unionize. Globalization may also cause countries to get at each other’s throats; Climate can force a nation into a state of crisis and violence. Globalization also has the possibility to one day slow down; countries may try to limit globalization to preserve culture or other important items, such as oil or fresh water. As our world progresses,…

The earth is home to many men and women who use the land and environment to survive. Whether it be from third world countries where the only food available is the food you plant for yourself, to highly industrialized countries such as America where farms package your food and ship them around the nation. The environment serves as the foundation to human survival. The earth gives so much and asks so little in return. Ironically, men and women all around the world are responsible for the depletion…

Is the end near or is it all a hoax? The long-term use of greenhouse gases including fuel for cars, emissions from charcoal and many others will have everlasting effects that will ultimately lead to the demise of civilization and mankind. Changes in climate will have damaging consequences, such as flooding and increased worldwide storm activity, which can be prevented only if humans get involved. Media may portray emotional stories to fear society into beliefs. Evidence will be proven for each…
