Human Beings are undoubtedly the Cause of Global Warming Global warming is one of the largest challenges facing the earth today. Lineman, Do Kim, & Joo (2015) define global warming as the increase in global average temperatures, mainly because of the increasing quantities of carbon dioxide gas in addition to other greenhouse gases in the space. It causes the greenhouse effect where solar radiation reaches the atmosphere, and some sun’s energy is redirected back to space. At the same time, the rest is trapped and radiated again by greenhouse gases. This cycle eventually makes the earth have extreme temperatures. This essay will examine why human beings’ activities are the reason for global warming. It is believed that human beings have increased this universal occurrence. Hughes (2018) says Global warming is fast emerging as a worldwide threat to ecology function, hence the crucial need to understand the impact of extreme heat radiations on both humans and the environment. There are various ways human activities and emissions have contributed to global warming. Among them is burning fossil fuel. Fossil fuels have high…

Climate Change and global warming effects Climate Change Climate change has been closely associated with global warming, which is the rise in the atmospheric temperature. Climate change has been attributed to human activities such as the use of fossils, which increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The presence of human activity has been prudent by burning oil and coal, which emit greenhouse into the atmosphere. The release of greenhouses gases has caused an increase in the earth’s temperature as the reflected rays from the surface are not released into the outer space. Even though carbon dioxide occurs naturally, an increase in its concentration through human civilization increases the heat trapped on earth. The temperatures have increased by 2oF during the 20th century, which is unusual (Berry, Sánchez-Arcilla Conejo, Betts, and Harrison, 2017). The rise in temperature has had various effects on the ecosystems and life on earth. Global warming has had various effects, such as the formation of acid rain and persistent droughts. The land has degraded over time through soil erosion. A…

Monetary and fiscal policies Monetary and fiscal policies are the key major policies use in managing demand pressures in the economy (CBN, 2017). Monetary policy is the manipulation of the economy through the use of monetary instruments such as open market operation, money supply, liquidity ratio and interest rates to influence overall demand in the economy (Micheal & Ebibai, 2014), while fiscal policy is the manipulation of government expenditure, taxes, subsidy and debt to control aggregate demand in the economy (Ahmad, 2008). Monetary policy is implemented by the monetary authorities, the Central Bank, while fiscal policy is implemented by the fiscal authorities, the Ministry of Finance (Abdulazeez, 2016). Meanwhile, both monetary and fiscal policies pursue the same ultimate objectives but they apply different instruments (Abdulazeez, 2016).                                                                                    On the basis of economic principles, fiscal policy and monetary policy are used to manage the health of an economy by expanding aggregate demand and economic growth (Khaysy & Gang, 2017). The reason is that monetary policy and fiscal policy complement each other (Khosravi and Karimi, 2010). The monetarists believe that monetary policy influences…

Hong Kong biodiversity Biodiversity defines variability in living organisms. It’s essential for the living organisms to adapt to their ecosystem and perform different roles throughout their lives. Humans also benefit from biodiversity. Biodiversity promotes good climatic culture and attracts the tourism industry. It provides the aesthetic value of a region. Biodiversity is determined by three aspects, namely: genes, species, and ecosystem. Genetic diversity defines distinguishing traits in organisms of the same species. Ecosystem biodiversity describes habitat and specific community occupied by a particular organism. Species biodiversity refers to different organisms within a given habitat. It’s undisputable saying Hong Kong is a key biodiversity area. Hong Kong biodiversity Hong Kong experiences a subtropical climate. It’s located in the pearl of River Delta and the South China Sea. It has over more than 200 highlands with highly crenulated coastline. Granite and volcanic rocks give soils different textures. It has a wide range of water sources ranging from rivers and sea. It has a beautiful coral ecosystem. Coral community plays a vital role in Hong Kong. Cultural services in Hong Kong, such as…

Author’s name: Instructor’s name: Course: Date: Speech, Debate, and Debate brief on the topic: “Against animal medical testing.” Introduction As the world grapples with the very many and unending pandemics, medical laboratories world over are held up in countless research to understand the pandemics and possibly come up with remedies against these pandemics. The more current pandemic is the Covid 19 disease that continues to ravage and overrun the world’s best health care systems. Research in the medical field has been a continuous process ever since, and an everyday new drug is discovered and produced. These drugs undergo a rigorous process of development that includes studying the causal agent of diseases that the intended drugs being developed will treat. This is to understand the mode of transmission and action of the causal agent before a drug that counters such action is developed. The development process involves laboratory tests and clinical trials. The latter is discussed with an opposing view of such trials being conducted in animals Topic justification A clinical trial is a process in which a study evaluates new…

                African Wildlife Ecotourism Student’s Name Institution Affiliation     Tarangire National Park (TNP) uses the Community Conservation Service (CCS) of the Tanzania National Park (TANAPA) initiative to protect wildlife. This initiative is part of the Ujirani Mwema (good neighborliness) program, which requires the local people to preserve the Park for its continued existence (pp. 149). TANAPA identifies the risks associated with changing land use that surround the Park. In 1992, the initiative surveyed people’s attitudes, practices, and knowledge concerning wild animals. The findings helped to teach people how to embrace activities that support the Ujarani Mwema program. Private sectors and NGOs have also introduced other practices in the community that enhances the conservation of wildlife (pp. 149). The main objective of CCS is to conserve and minimize adverse effects on resources by reducing conflict and introducing ways to solve them. On the other hand, Mahenye Park uses Zimbabwe CAMPFIRE Program to obtain revenue from safari sport hunting. Hunting safaris do not need high capital investment in the lodge and extended lease period…

              Agricultural Technology in Rural Areas Name of the Student Institutional Affiliation                 Essential Technology for Agricultural Advancement in Rural Kenya Agriculture plays a vital role in Kenya and has been the primary source of income for most citizens. Agriculture is popularly known as the backbone of Kenya’s economy that has contributed to the economic prosperity of the country in the past decades. It has committed significantly to employing the people in rural areas, besides giving nutritional value for the whole country. Kenya has made progress in agriculture over the past years but has not reached its full potential. Technological advancements are significant to help the country achieve this potential. Dairy Technology             Studies have revealed that the adoption of technology in the dairy sector, like improved breeds and milking technology, is relatively low in Kenya. The reasons for the country’s failure to technology in the dairy sector is not clear. However, farmers that choose to adopt the new methods individually reap the benefits that include an…

An argument for biodiversity conservation Introduction The ecosystem can be defined by a community of living and non-living organisms, interacting as a system. Energy is required for the completion of each cycle as it is an essential part for photosynthesis as well as plant tissues. External and internal factors control ecosystems. External factors include climate, topography while the internal factors are controlled by decompositions, shading, and root competition, among others. Ecosystems are an important part of the environment and are regarded as dynamic entities. They are, at times subject to periodic disturbances and are at times not given enough room to recover from previous disruptions. Ecosystems in various parts of the world can work differently since they all have different species present. The internal factors controlling the ecosystem do not only control it but are controlled by the ecosystem as well, thereby creating feedback loops. Internal factors control resource availability in the ecosystem. Human beings have a high contribution when it comes to influencing external factors, for example, climate. Biodiversity affects the ecosystem in a significant way. Ecosystems come up…

Why did the Great Leap Forward fail? The great leap forward was an ambitious socio-economic program that suffered poor coordination as envisaged in its characteristic Stalinist structure and backyard industry that produce low-quality goods. ( HIST 103: Slide 1 The Great Leap Forward, 10.04.2020). Mao Zedong launched the ambitious program in 1958 to rapidly transform the country from an agrarian economy to a communist society. This was to solve China’s long-standing history of external invasion (Korean War, resist America), civil wars (Chinese Civil War), and political instability from the class struggle for Land reforms (HIST 103: Slide 1 The Great Leap Forward, April 20, 2020). The Great Leap Forward strategy introduced collective system, oversaw the conversion of Farms into steel industries, and centralized control by the national government (HIST 103: Slide 2, The Great Leap Forward, April 20, 2020). Zedong’s goal was to make China stronger by overtaking Capitalist nations in a short period. The collective systems worked by restructuring families into communes containing thousands of families. The families were militarized as their tools and equipment were surrendered to the…

Agriculture forestry, fishing, and hunting industry The sector primarily comprises of crop growing, rearing livestock, harvesting animals from farms or natural habitats, and timber harvesting.  This industry is founded in two activities, which are agricultural production and support services. The industry is also divided into farms, dairies, orchards, greenhouse, and ranches.  A farm may also be one piece of land or several tracts of land held under separate tenures. The farms may also be run by the owner and hired workers or on a partnership basis. Currently, there are more than 531, 731 type businesses categorized under the agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting sector in the United States. This businesses makes the industry one of the largest with a total revenue of $527 billion as of 2018. This amount is a significant contribution compared to the overall GDP 18,638.2 billion of the United States in2018. However, this sector is the oldest; the input is not satisfactory as it indicated a drop in growth from the previous year. The industry is also not doing very well compared to other sectors like…
