The Effect of Climate Change on the Golden Toad Introduction Throughout history the Earth’s climate continually cooled and warmed with weather regimes changing. This natural process is being enhanced through human activities that are increasing the warming of the atmosphere at a more rapid rate than previously seen. Among the many threats to biodiversity; the destruction of habitats, population growth, pollution, invasive species and overexploitation, climate change is having an adverse effect on
advantages, the waste produced by nuclear energy has raised concerns. This waste has harmful radiation and it is difficult to store it safely. Nuclear waste is thus a highly controversial issue in the modern society. In his discussion of the problems facing future presidents, Professor Richard A. Muller of the University of California looks at the issue of nuclear and gives his views on the same. In his essay entitled Nuclear Waste, the professor of physics makes use of scientific facts and personal
in space weather. Space weather includes activities on the sun, and their associated effects on the Earth (HKO). Geomagnetic storms can disrupt our technology, from telecommunication to electricity, the fundamental basis of technology. With more sophisticated and widespread use of technology, geomagnetic storm becomes more threatening to us. Therefore, we should be more aware of geomagnetic storms. In this essay, I will first discuss the basics of geomagnetic storms, including their origin, mechanism

absorbs solar and sunlight radiation and bounces back to the surface of the earth instead of escaping into space. As a result, these pollutants trap the heat thus causing the earth to get hotter. Each day the earth rotates, new heat spins with it; therefore, moisture is picked from the ocean and settled
Task 1 Can polar bears and people coexist? Polar bears are the largest land predator on earth today. They live in the Arctic area, surrounded by the northern nations like Norway, Greenland and Canada. The effects of global warming have caused the temperatures to rise, which have led the Arctic ice to melt. Because the polar bears’ territory is shrinking, they are forced to hunt further inland. They usually hunt on the sea ice, but they cannot do that now. A polar bear can starve for months, but
