A Historical Look on Globalization’s Impact on the Environment and Ecosystem Services Humans have only been on this earth a fraction of its life but in those years, we have drastically altered it in ways that can never be reversed. Globalization, the process of integrating and interacting among ourselves and people of different nations, could never have occurred without these changes. However, they have come at the ultimate cost, the health and wellbeing of our planet. Environmental damages…

principle and the History-Sensitive Ability to pay principle, respectively. As far as the Poverty-Sensitive PPP is concerned, persons should bear the burden of climate change that they have caused, however, this burden cannot be a detriment to a decent standard of living. On the other hand, regarding the History-Sensitive APP, the Remainder should be addressed by the wealthy; nevertheless, those whose wealth came about in unjust ways should contribute more than those whose wealth did not come…

choose to research is the community of northeast China (or Dongbei in Chinese). People in this community speak Northeastern Mandarin, which is a dialect that is related to but obviously different from standard Mandarin. The research article examines language attitudes towards Northeastern Mandarin and Standard Mandarin. The article also discusses the implications of such attitudes and possible reasons behind language attitudes. In the introduction part, the author reviewed some important…

firms doesn’t mean the firms can’t help stretch their influences and beliefs on the government. What I mean by this is that these companies need various approvals of projects they wish to seek in the future like the keystone pipeline, and the expansion of natural gas exports. Without the governments approval these missions and projects wouldn’t be able to be accomplished. Companies try to get their point across or get their views taken into account by doing various tactics which include…

What a coincidence that after the American Industrial Revolution in the 1760 's-1840 's, 40 years later the Earth began to warm up. The Earth begins to warm up due to the amount of carbon dioxide that is released to the atmosphere. During this time period to this day, humans have destroyed the environment and have replaced them with industries, houses , and etc increasing the amount of carbon dioxide rapidly. This new change has erupted various catastrophic consequences such as climate change,…

In order to properly discus carbon foot print and the impact that it has on our environment we have to first define what it is to get a better understanding, second we will look to see my personal contribution and how that compares with the national average and then compare it on a global level we will end by identifying new ways to offset and reduce the impact on our environment. Merriam Webster dictionary defines carbon footprint as the amount of greenhouse gases and specifically carbon…

Basically, there should be a noticeable and systematic increase in the standard deviation based on an increase in size of the target circle, while the matching circle mean should stay close to the actual physical size of the target circle. In other words, it should be possible to see a progressive and regular increase in the standard deviation from a 10-, to a 30-, to a 50-pixel circle; and alternately, a systematic decrease in the standard deviation when moving in the opposite direction from…

Introduction: This paper introduces the existing state of carbon accounting in profit organisations in UK and Russia, and critically analyse the differences of carbon accounting policies applied in two countries. To better identify the issue, BG Group (in UK) and Gazprom (in Russia) are chosen as examples to compare the differences of measurement and disclosure on carbon emissions and greenhouse gas related activities. In the end, the motivations to improve the quality of disclosure are analysed…

Some of their climate-related challenges are ice loss, ocean 8 acidification, melting permafrost, rise in sea levels, late winter road storm, reduction in winter road season, increase in erosion, changes in wildlife and plant species diversity and distribution, reduced access to food, and prevalence of diseases. Reduction in winter road season often required food and fuel to be flown into these regions, leading to increased cost of food and fuel. The Northern communities emission of CO2 is…

in a review of experimental evaluations of PD programs in developed countries, Yoon et al. (2007) found that the academic achievement of students whose teachers participated in PD programs (about 49 hours of training on average) increased by 0.54 standard deviations compared to students whose teachers did not participate in PD. These positive findings lend credence to the efforts of policymakers from developing countries who are in favor of using PD to improve the quality of teaching in their…
