Climate Crisis Abstract Currently, the greatest threat to humanity is global warming. The population of humans continues to increase, predisposing humanity to dire consequences that call for fundamental changes in the behavior. Therefore, instantaneous rapid action and response are necessary. Today, the changes in climate advocates pose a significant threat to the civilization of humanity. The solution to the predicament involves building Zero emissions. The current Path by warming ranges at 30 or more, excluding chronic carbon cycle response. Scientists estimate that the Paris path will cause approximately 50 of global warming by 2100. The consequences of the existential risks posed by global warming are so severe that they cannot be generally interpreted (Sprat et al., 7). The impacts of this kind of adverse global warming include a fall in some ecosystems and a decrease in water availability that affects up to two billion people. Generally, the change in the climate will disrupt human’s perception of nature. Carbon Majors Database (CMD) is a source used for storing (GHG) emissions data. According to CMD, the extraction of fossil fuel significantly influences…

DO YOU THINK CONTEMPORARY SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY WILL BRING OUR GLOBAL SOCIETY TO A WORLD CRISIS ANALOGOUS TO THAT FOUND IN MILLER’S CANTICLE? Walter M. Miller Jr.’s A Canticle for Leibowitz is a science fiction novel. Its central theme is cyclic history meaning that the events that occur in the novel repeat themselves in real life. In the Canticle, Miller mentions that a crisis is a disagreement between religious and political concepts. According to Miller, the Church feared that enlightened people. The Enlightenment and Civilization period scared the Church because curious youths would question the existing religious system using political arguments.[1] Despite the Church’s interference, Miller thinks that science and technology are related to religion. Two essential subjects that reinforce the central theme are the “Flame Deluge” and “A Great Simplification,” both of which confirm that science will one day create a crisis that is analogous with Miller’s Canticle. Crisis in the Canticle             Miller and other scholars who critique him believe that the misunderstanding between religion and science causes a world crisis. According to Miller, the Church wanted to…

Formation and Growth of Crisis Pregnancy Centers For many young women, unprepared pregnancy could be confusing and overwhelming. Abortion is often their first decision that comes to mind. Some may seek information online or visit healthcare clinics for advice that acts to their best interests. Today, more people can easily access abortion services at a relatively small cost, either in reputable hospitals or in quack areas. The Crisis Pregnancy Centers (CPC) was established to counsel women with unwanted pregnancies against procuring abortions, and other pregnancy-related information. The Christian organization is pro-life and aims at rescuing as many babies as possible, some whom they refer to adoption areas if the mother decides not to keep the baby. They advocate for adoption or parenting as better alternatives to abortion (Bryant and Swartz 270). However, they are famed for dispensing false information about the health risks of abortion, to scare away the to-be mother from making such a decision. They operate under the motto “We Inform. You decide.” Their operations are legal but highly unethical from the way they deceptively conduct their activities.…

Turkish Financial and Economic Crisis The Causes of the Turkish Financial and Economic Crisis The economic and financial crisis that faced Turkey was characterized by high inflation, increasing costs of borrowing, and loan defaults. One of the major causes of the crisis was the high current account deficit. Turkey’s economy is known for its low savings rate. Since President Recep took over the government, the deficits of the current account have been increasing. For example, in 2016, the current account deficit stood at $33.1 billion, which then increased to $47.3 billion in 2017. In 2018, the current account deficit increased to $51.6 billion. The adoption of the authoritarianism style of leadership by President Recep was another cause of the crisis in Turkey. In 2018, the country experienced a higher rate of inflation as compared to other developing countries. In 2017, the inflation rate stood at 11.9%. The president prevented the central bank from changing the interest rates. According to Recep, any adjustment of the interest rates would further jeopardize the economy of the country. In May 2018, the Turkish president…

The Sahel Crisis The Sahel region has been variously described as a “one region, many problems.” The myriad of challenges affecting the countries in this part of Africa accounts for the description. A combination of factors such as drought, food insecurity and chronic malnutrition, drug trafficking, and the emergence of terrorist groups and continued conflicts causes instability in the region (Zyck & Muggah, 2013). Other problems include low agricultural production and high food prices, which call for humanitarian aid in the area to save the lives of many (Zyck & Muggah, 2013). The area also experiences instability caused by perennial conflicts emerging from political competitions that are primarily dominated by ethnic, territorial, sectarian, interstate, and local dispositions and affiliations (Zyck & Muggah, 2013). To restore stability in the region, an integrated approach to stabilization of the Sahel would be necessary. The problems are multi-faceted hence the need for a consorted approach to mitigate the different unique issues. All the stability functions outlined in JP 3-07, security, foreign humanitarian assistance, economic stabilization and infrastructure, the rule of law, governance and participation,…

Effectiveness of the European Structures in dealing with the Debt Crisis According to Veron (2018), the European Union was facing a severe financial crisis from 2007 to 2009. The reason being most of the financial institutions in the EU adopted the same model that had driven the USA into a debt crisis. The subprime mortgages foreclosure led to losses in the financial sector, hence sparking the financial crisis. The policies suggested concentrated on three facets; liquidity, corporate, and capital structure (Eubanks, 2010). This essay will focus on determining if the European Union structures in banking and supervisory were sufficient in dealing with the debt crisis. European Central Bank and European Commission are the primary federal institutions that formulated the decisive policies. The first was the six-pack legislative package focused on the governance of the economy to improve liquidity. Austerity measures were also put in place to help the member nations recover from the debt crisis (Govaere et al., 2011). The EU also adopted the two-pack structure in May 2013, which concentrated on supervising the financial sector within the EU. The…

crisis of corporate capture of democratic administration America has been facing a crisis of corporate capture of democratic administration. The robust economic corporations have been translating to political control with disastrous effects for individual’s lives. Nonetheless, corporations of humongous wealth and remorseless possession of power have seized and made politics to work for their benefits. Thomas Jefferson, the author of the declaration of independence, warned against the threat to democracy posed by large banks and enormous corporations that had a selfish spirit of commerce. Jefferson attempted to change the rules to limit the control of money over administration and empower all individuals to engage politically as a countervailing force. Despite the efforts invested in by Thomas over excess corporate, the supreme courts would not heed or respect the original intent of the founders. Thomas’s distrust of concentrate and consolidated control was termed to be a legacy for all dissidents against the United States. Nevertheless, the founder did not want a lot of administration recognition but wanted an administration that would assert the sovereignty of citizens over corporations, which was more…

economic crisis faced by Venezuela The content highlights the economic crisis faced by Venezuela. The crisis sparked by years of poor leadership has caused hyperinflation of its currency, food and supply shortages, corruption, high crime rates, and huge public debt. Interestingly, Venezuela was once one of the most prosperous nations in the world due to its large oil deposits; however, years of mismanagement has caused a political and economic crisis in the South American country with no end in sight. The solutions offered are to have different leadership in Venezuela that would create sound political and economic policies. I agree with the solution offered in the content. The biggest problem with Venezuela is political, which has a domino effect on all sectors of the economy. Under President Maduro, there has been a crisis after crisis that has put Venezuela in a negative light. His policies do not seem to work, and he should look beyond personal greed and do what is best for the country. I think after a change of leadership, Venezuela should seek the help of economic experts…
