- ... effect of the carbon cycle. The result is a build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is currently at about a third higher than pre-industrial levels worldwide. Throughout the last century our world, reshaped by dams, irrigation, logging and so forth, has seen drastic human population growth. Resulting technologies produced an industrial age that transformed the land, sky, waters, and distribution of the biota of the worlds' nations ... since we have so many resources, but what will the quality of life be like? What of less advantaged nations who may not survive at all. The prospects of future generations being born into a world affected by human-induced warming seem probable unless we act pro-actively as an international community to examine how we contribute to global warming on an individual basis. Global warming has received much press in ... our destruction. With simple measures we, as inhabitants of this planet, can not seal our fate in rising temperatures, but rather we must change over views completely. We have to stop thinking of the natural world as something that we can exploit, and start thinking of it as something that is crucial to our very existence. We must take responsibility for our home. We have but one Earth, one chance.
- 7605: Ozone Depletion in the Antarctic
- ... the discovery of the springtime ozone hole over the Antarctic established that our understanding of the atmosphere was far from complete. This has created a growing concern for scientists in the Antarctic and around the world. The evidence of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) increasing and damaging the earth's surface and primary producing organisms verified this concern. Today the estimated size of the ozone hole is 10 million square miles compared to ... the probability of phytoplankton developing UVR receptors within the next 100 years is small. The damage to them is being done now and this damage is resulting in severe consequences for the rest of the world. Phytoplankton are primary producers in the food chain. Any change in their concentration will effect primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers. This results in less food for the human race. With a reduction in photosynthesis, a dramatic decrease in photosynthetic oxygen becomes available to the rest of the world. Although these organisms are small, they are very important to the survival of other organisms on the planet. Purpose of Studying Marine bacteria and phytoplankton found in the waters of the Antarctic are small ...

- ... being regenerated. Convection currents beneath the plates move the crustal plates in different directions. The source of heat driving the convection currents is radioactivity deep in the Earths mantle. Advances in sonic depth recording during World War II and the subsequent development of the nuclear resonance type magnometer (proton-precession magnometer) led to detailed mapping of the ocean floor and with it came many observation that led scientists like Howard Hess and ...
- 7607: To Kill A Mockingbird 4
- ... The strong, outspoken and somewhat hard-headed person-alities of Scout and Atticus who successfully manages to raise his children alone make them most remarkable characters. The story of Scout s growing-up in a world full of mysterious, beautiful and horrible events is particularly interesting when told in the first-person form.

The best way to steer people into lowering CO2 emissions is by ... of a Washington law firm and a former Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. Mechanisms can be designed to make it more attractive for the various sectors to work together. The third world can be pushed into buying the most efficient systems, not just cast-offs. China can consider natural gas supply and turbine technology. Industry can help to reduce the loss between the energy generator and ...

- 7610: Global Warming…Fact or Fiction?
- ... Project (S&EPP). S&EPP had information that disputed the theory of global warming, whereas the governmental agencies all supported, in some form or another, global warming.
