Environmental Science E-portfolio Replacement Paper Climate Change Climate Change is a global problem, and the situation has not improved since it was first recognized. There is evidence to support the notion of climate change, such as N.A.S.A. publication on global temperatures over the years. For instance, Shaftel (2019) affirms that the average surface temperatures of the planet has risen to about 1.62 degrees Fahrenheit since the late 19th century, a change driven largely by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions into the atmosphere. Further, most of this global warming occurred in the past 35 years, with the five warmest years on record taking place since 2010 (Shaftel, 2019). This is clear evidence that supports the fact that there is constantly increasing and uncontrolled amount of daily human activities resulting in increased Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As a result, the temperatures on the planet has increased over the recent years and led to severe environmental changes such as rise in sea levels due to melting of polar ice caps where the result is probably rising in sea level caused…

What are the psychological impacts of climate change? Research Question What are the psychological impacts of climate change? The Issue of Climate Change Climate change is an expression that is used to describe the changes in atmospheric conditions over some time, due to natural variations or resulting from human activity. Climatic changes include fluctuationsin temperature, precipitation, and wind patterns over an elongated period, usually between months and millions of years (Clayton et al., n.p). The variations may occur in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, earth’s surface, and biosphere. Climate change is not a phenomenon that just happened overnight. The accelerated rate of the variation of the conditions over the past few decades is attributed to human activity/behavior. The main driver of climate change is the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) through human activities such as combustion of fossil fuels (Gifford, Robert, Karine, and Angel, 163). It is, therefore, undoubtful that the rate of climate change can be reduced by changing human behavior that leads to the effect. It is regrettable that many people still do not understand how human behavior contributes…

1972 Cold War Shenanigans   Throughout history, people have always played sports. In the 1930s, James Naismith invented the game of basketball, and ever since, it has grown in popularity, not only in the United States but also in other countries. In the 1936 Berlin Olympics, basketball was added as an Olympic sport. Entering the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany, the United States had only lost three games and had won all the gold medals. Then they were defeated by the Soviet Union in the finals, who was their rival during the Cold War. The match was controversial and the loss was significant within Cold War history for both countries and the sport in general. The Games were intruded upon by the Black September terrorists in what has been called the Munich Massacre, which overshadowed all sporting events, including the gold medal basketball game. The Cold War went from 1947-1991 and referred to the tension between the United States and the Soviet Union. The two countries were on the same side during World War II but eventually became enemies,…

 Wealth Tax A wealth tax is founded on the market value of assets that an individual owns, and imposed on the wealth he or she possesses. A wealth tax is based on an individual’s net worth, that includes assets, minus liabilities. Back in 1999, Donald Trump proposed a wealth tax on the net worth of individuals and trusts that are valued at $10 million or more. He added that it would give rise to $5.7 trillion in new taxes, and by s doing, the money can be utilized in clearing the national debt. An economist based in New York University, Daniel Altman, thinks a wealth tax will help the economy. He made a proposal suggesting wealth tax to replace income tax. He estimated that a flat wealth tax of about 1.5 percent would be befitting as a replacement of revenue from current income and estate taxes. An article written by Nigel Chwaya et al. (2019), most economists think that income inequality has been a significant problem in the United States. Most billionaires have an accelerated earning power, thus accumulating vast…
