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…

PRICE DISCRIMINATION ABSTRACT Price discrimination is the pricing of similar goods at different prices about different customers. This is based on a person’s location and different periods. These three types of price discrimination, namely, first degree, second degree and third-degree discrimination pricing. In the first degree, the pricing is set up at the maximum where the consumer can buy. The second degree is when the seller sells the product in variations and choice to his clients about time and the product in the market. The third pricing degree is based upon the group of people may be adults children and students or particular groups; it’s also known as direct pricing. Price discrimination occurs where there is a high demand for a commodity, and the supply is low and vice versa; thus, pricing may defer from one supplier to the client. Geographical locations may tend to affect pricing as conveying a commodity from one area to another may lower or raise the product in the market (Chand, 2018). In this, a client near the source of a product may buy it…
ways of setting the prices of products by Companies Companies do choose many ways when they are setting the prices of their products. Some of these methods are aimed at appealing to the psychology of the customers. An Example of pricing is the odd-even pricing. This kind of pricing occurs when a company prices a cent a few dollars below the amount of the dollar following. For instance, instead of pricing an object $ 10.00 the company prices $9.99. All the same, the product will have more cost when taxes are added or even other fees. Another type is the prestige pricing. This pricing occurs when products of higher prices are utilized to give an offering an image of high quality. This method is what many stores use, and people purchase them because of the image even though they might be a bit expensive. They are perceived to be of high quality because of the picture. An example is the price lining. For instance, many music stores use this method to sell products that are the same at different…
Policy Trade-Offs for Commons The utilization of public and natural resources is subject to multiple interests from various parties. While some of these welfares align, many are conflicting, leading to antagonistic approaches from stakeholders. Consequently, national governments and international authorities come up with relevant policies to promote the interests of different stakeholders as well as safeguard commons. Therefore, trade-offs are essential policy strategies to accommodate dissimilar perspectives of stakeholders. Ecological Policy Trade-offs Environmental concerns have become a central aspect of modern affairs. Policies regarding conservation are devised to promote sustainable ecosystems and bio-diversities. However, their formulation is based on a consideration of other elements as commerce and private rights of ownership. Notably, protecting the environment comes at a cost to other industries who seek to sustain their culture or earn income for economic development. The International Whaling Commission (IWC) is an example of a global agency that spearheads the development of environmental policy trade-offs. The commission ensures that threatened whale species are protected from commercial fishers while at the same time allowing Aboriginal communities the right to continue hunting the…
solid hydrogen conversion state through adsorption and absorption on alloys Introduction Energy is the critical determinant of the growth in any country. The environmental degradation as a result of overreliance on fossil fuels has led to many people demanding for a cleaner and more sustainable energy supply. It, therefore, gives rise for the demand of hydrogen to fill in these energy consumption demands. Hydrogen has a high gravimetric energy density, and also has no emissions can regenerate itself. It is the main reason which makes experts choose hydrogen as a carrier for clean energy, which is also relatively cheap compared to fossil fuel energy. However, the convenience of hydrogen production cannot be easily obtained due to its major challenge of transport and storage. The storage of hydrogen is done via three channels, compression of gasses, conversion of liquid into cryogenic form, and also solidifying the gas. In compression, a massive reservoir tank is filled with highly pressurized gas, making it require a lot of energy for compression because hydrogen occupies large volumes. In the cryogenic liquid form, there is a…

Debrief Rounds 2 and 3 Part A Based on the undertakings in Round 2 and 3, one apparent issue is about the choice of the product that significantly impacted on the inventory. My investment was mostly on achieving the highest number of products within a specified period, prompting me to even use an emergency loan. However, based on the result in the inventory that highlights unsold products, I could have taken into account the role played by the market. With the correct market analysis, I could have established the demand for the products and came out with sufficient supply volume, which matches the demand. Again, the market share still remains optimum. The main aim of the production was to achieve a market share that is proportionate to the number of goods produced. However, with a market share of below 10 percent, there is a need to sell the remaining products at an optimum cost to clear the inventory and effectively achieve sustainable growth and improve the market share. The other lesson learned is that emergency loans should not be used…
