Global Warming is causing the decrease of polar bear populations due to the loss of habitat‚ scarcity of food‚ and higher mortality rates in pups. There are nineteen subpopulations of polar bears in the world. They are called "subpopulations" because they are not genetically distinct to one area but generally inhabit nineteen different areas across the circumpolar arctic. A study showed that between 2001 and 2010 there was a 40% population decrease of these bears and according to a U.S Geological

(The greenhouse gases of most concern are Carbon Dioxide (CO2)‚ Methane (CH4)‚ and nitrous oxides.) The recent effect that climate change has had is the equivalent of a 1

Temperature Effects on Labor Productivity: A Cross-Country Approach Introduction Intro into the topic Hypothesis I will test the hypothesis that higher temperature will adversely affect labor productivity in a country. Outline Purpose The purpose of this paper is to check the effects of temperature on labor productivity to conclude that climate change will have a severe impact on labor productivity in the future. It can be thought of as a domino effect. To begin with‚ populations are increasing

When people first started using radars during World War II it was to provide information about aerial attacks heading towards them. Another way people were using radar was to try to prevent collisions like the Titanic hitting the ice burg and sinking. It wasn’t until after
