The phenomenon of global climate change is widely considered fact. Studies have shown that the world’s average surface temperature has been accelerated by human activities which has led to the increase in production of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, chiefly carbon dioxide, methane and CFCs. The repercussions of this phenomenon are the increase of global sea levels, the thinning of the ozone layer, changes of annual precipitation, and an overall increase in variability and intensity of seasons
What is Global Warming? According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Global Warming is “the unusually rapid increase in Earth’s average surface temperature over the past century primarily due to the greenhouse gases released as people burn fossil fuels…” Scientists have been concerned about how humans have contributed to the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The burning of these fossil fuels is what has raised concerns and caused global warming. In an article
Have you ever heard of the grasslands? Well if not, here you will learn all about the animals, plants, climate changes and the environmental danger in the grasslands. You can find this biome in North America, South America, Africa, Europe and in Australia. When rainy seasons arrive many grasslands become coated with flowers and some flowers survive throughout the winter. Also there are two different types of grasslands. They are tropical and temperate.

1. Introduction Since South Africa’s transition from an apartheid government into that of a democracy the country has been met with unprecedented change and developmental challenges. Since then, creating a sustainable society within the country has been a major topic with regards to the implementation of developmental policies, however to fully grasp the aforementioned one has to understand the complexities surrounding creating a sustainable society. A now widely accepted policy framework in planning
Savanna is a biome that is located between tropical rainforest biome and desert biome. It is mainly found in Africa, South America, India and Australia. The Savanna biome is an area with very dry season and very wet season. Savanna is mostly grass with few scattered trees. It covers half of the surface of Africa, large areas of Australia, India and South America. Savanna is created because of hadley cells. Hadley cells are when it rains a lot in the rain forest, the amount of rains will decrease

and 43,472 is female and the common farming system of the Woreda is mixed farming (AWFEDO, 2014). Climate change poses one of the greatest threats in history to the realization of sustainable development, as climate hazards are increasingly impacting human communities and ecosystems alike. The world’s poorest people and communities are the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Climate change is having and is projected to impact the livelihood assets and to affect the rights of vulnerable
Water Crisis in Africa Water makes up seventy percent of Earth’s surface. In several countries, there are many people that struggle for fresh water, for example Africa. Countries that do have the privilege of having fresh water should help the countries that struggle. With the help of others, fewer people will suffer from the lack of clean water. Africa and Asia itself have 5.5 million people that die from waterborne diseases. Waterborne diseases are caused from the lack of clean water. There are
Prior to industrialization the main source of energy as was sunlight, other forms of energy were wood, straw, dried cow dung etc. and these resources were infinite (Union of Concerned Scientists; 2017). For transportation muscle energy of horses was used, in the sea wind was used on sails to drive ships also water and wind was utilized to drive simple machines i.e. to pump underground water. Union of Concerned Scientists (2017) further stipulates that simple machines with power to harness steam were
