“Scientific evidence for warming of the climate system is unequivocal” - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (NASA).
According to NASA, over the last century, human activities have increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere above levels not encountered for hundreds of thousands of years. Knowing that our forests, plants, and oceans are absorbing only half of the CO2 emissions, scientists and environmentalists are perplexed: How do we save the future of the Earth? Scientists’ past predictions and climate change warnings are coming true for our generation: devastating hurricanes, intense heat waves, unexpected snowfalls, extinctions of species and plants. Various organizations have been founded to bring awareness to an ongoing global

Upon second look, panda’s distinct black eyeshadow is splattered depicting an oil stain. This slight defacing of the innocent, all-beloved animal delivers a disturbing message: the use of fossil fuels poses a serious threat to planet species. Exploring in more detail, panda’s human-like hand, is holding a half-chewed bamboo, its exclusive food source, vital for species survival. The bamboo has protruding copper wires illustrating how human technology is interfering with nature. An on-going bamboo deforestation and source depletion pose a threat not only to an entire giant panda species wiping away its main food source, but also our ecosystem as a whole. Bamboos play a crucial part in cleaning the atmosphere of poisonous CO2, “Bamboo is stronger than steel and its root can reduce soil erosion by up to 75%. In this context, bamboo offers one of the quickest ways to remove vast amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere” (Thokchom et al., 2015).
The company logo, campaign name “Evollution” and the statement are placed at the bottom of the poster. The size and the colors, which do not stand out initially, are purposely done this way not to distract the viewer from the main character of the ad – the panda. The visual of something that people find “cute” immediately appeals to one’s emotions and not logic. The purpose of the text as a second statement is to further affirm its main point and to
Bonnie Green, Chief Estimator, agreed that in a normal year only slight delays might develop due to a shortage of labor. However, she pointed out that for such a large project, the company would have to use unionized employees and that the construction industry labor agreements with New York City were to expire on October 30, 2004. Past experience and current construction activity in the surrounding area indicated that any union tradesman would support a strike against the city. Since this is a public project, she estimates that there is a 50% chance that they would strike this project to gain the attention of the national media.
“Attention, soldiers of the Continental army, the patriots of our colonies!” George Washington shouted, drawing attention to himself as he stood. The whispers along with mumbles stopped, every person bringing their attention to the general as he stood from top to bottom as well as proud. “I will explain quickly what the plan of action is before I separate you. One through five-thousand, you will be going with Lafayette, blocking their escape from Yorktown, waiting in the Chesapeake Bay! Alexander, I believe you had something to say to our people of the colonies?”
According to Henderson, “Historians of the new imperialism have tended to ignore the parallel histories of empire in nineteenth-century British North America”. He argues that in recent years, an increasing number of corresponding and connective histories have had the desire to locate early Canada as one site of an empire among others. He stresses how republicanism and a responsible government rely almost exclusively on published archival materials that have been used for a very long period (at least in Canada) by those who are interested in the history of the struggle for a responsible government.
An analysis of the books or Romans chapters 1-8, I will cover these areas of interest; the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture. (1) Paul wrote the book of Romans because of a fault line, a crack in the Roman culture and society that Paul would use to frame the book of Romans. Dr. Jimmy DeYoung states in the video, “Romans: the letter that changed the world” that, Paul saw this fault line in the society of Rome and uses this as the base for his writing the book of Romans. My world view is that, the sins committed by the Romans back in Paul’s day are still being committed today (Ecclesiastes 1:9) in today’s society. I think we can take a major lesson from Paul in that, Rome was a completely debased and
Stacking two photographs on top of each other, Emmanuel Radnitzky’s (Man Ray) untitled work could be considered unique, but also mind-boggling. Although it’s clear that the center of focus is of an accordionist’s performance, the tubes of the accordion are a jumbled mess, the majority of the photograph is a distorted blur (Radnitzky). Since it takes great scrutiny to view individual pieces of this art, some may wonder why Man Ray challenges us with a juxtaposed style. Although it may seem disorienting, he recreates a scene of the woman’s accordion performance by overlapping two photographs to allow viewers to reanalyze the gestures humans make unconsciously. In Radiohead’s Lotus Flower, the dancer suggests that human beings are prone to
In football in a fairly sized city in the state of Minnesota attending the Tigers high school. He had a decent build being 6’0 and weighing just at 180. Joe Walker was your typical “average Joe” He played as a safety for JV (Junior Varsity) for his sophomore and junior years, but never made the next step into being a varsity safety only getting minimal reps towards the end of games. He knew if he wanted to play, he had to work as hard as he could after his junior year ended. He was on a mission to prove everybody wrong that believed he wasn’t going to work hard enough to reach what he wanted, which was being just a starting varsity safety.
The central claims that Samples uses in order to argue that caps on the amount individuals can contribute to candidates for federal office should be abolished are contribution limits have led to creation and widespread use of Super PACs, the idea that quid pro quo donations are not corrupt, and finally that there is no correlation between trust in government and capping donations. Proponents of getting rid of the cap argue that the contribution limits have created Super PACs, which have no contribution limits; therefore, defeating the purpose of the limits on individual donations. Samples are disputes the argument that no cap on individual donations is corrupt. First, he points out that most donations given to a candidate are given

As a champion of indie films as well as a massive supporter of Vancouver talent, I remember noticing a campaign pop up on my feed for Last Stand to Nowhere. I thought about supporting it, but I was so busy that I quickly forgot. That is until Michelle Muldoon contacted me personally. Once I read about the campaign and realized that I knew practically everyone involved, I had no choice but to contribute. However, I knew that positive press for a project like this is essential, so I also offered to interview Michelle, to which she quickly agreed. As the campaign enters its final days, enjoy reading a little about the creative genius behind this project and maybe even consider lending your support in some fashion.
The majority of the scientific community agrees, to some extent, that global climate change is a real and serious issue. Various organizations, to include the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have gathered endless data on evidence, causes, and consequences. In the past, the debate was whether global climate change was a real phenomenon and whether humans were the main contributors to its acceleration. Unfortunately these debates are still covered through social media sources, such as Fox News and CNN. Presently, these types of debates over whether global climate change and its direct correlation to human induced activities has ceased to continue, and how can anyone argue against when there are several scientists and sources with thorough research. Rather, several organizations have provided more in-depth analysis on the detrimental effects of the increase of greenhouse gases, to include carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, water vapor, and chlorofluorocarbons, as well as answering how the increasing adverse effects have will continue to impact the world.
When Chesney, my soon to be wife , and I were dating, we decided that after I went to college and became a doctor, we would become missionaries. Now that doesn't mean that we would have to live in another country for years at a time. We would simply go to foreign countries those specifically without Bibles, and serve there for two to three months at a time. More specifically, we would smuggle Bibles into that country.
