Gethen's Cold Climate Case Study

Mark Smith’s, The Road to Winter (2016), charts the narrative of Australian teenager, Finn, who has survived a virus that has wiped out the majority of his town. Finn is forced to survive, protecting himself from the violent gangs in the North on his own, following the death of his parents. With survival being the main theme of the novel, the characters in The Road to Winter exhibit their exceptional and awful capabilities when their survival is threatened. Despite characters living in seclusion, they will go to any means to protect their own survival. Furthermore, when Finn, Rose or Kas’ lives are threatened, alternate characters will rise to their assistance, completing formidable acts of bravery to save them. Finally, Ramage displays his awful capabilities, threatening others survival, if his own leadership is jeopardised.

Many countries of Northern Europe suffer from brutal winters. Some parts can reach -50 degrees. The countries in this region generally have a high standard of living and quality of life. They boast developed economies.

Task four is about shows how global warming affects the earth. This is about all the impacts that global warming causes. This is also about what will global warming do t the earth in the future.

In the movie by PBS, “Global Warming: The Signs and the Science” it discusses how our planet is affected by global warming and some potential consequences we will encounter because of the effects of Global Warming. It also describes different strategies that could help reduce greenhouse emissions.

The generational span is exceedingly larger today than in the prior history of our nation. The multiple generations consist of the veterans 1922-1945, the baby boomers 1946-1964, the generation X 1965-1981, and, the generation Y 1982-1999, in addition, upcoming millennial generation born 2000-2016 (Murray, 2013). There frequently are misconceptions and misunderstandings based on the differing perspectives of each generation. Moreover, as an effective leader, one must comprehend and acknowledge the characteristics of each generation and utilize these individualities to mentor and motivate the staff they are leading (Hendricks & Cope, 2012). In addition to considering the impact of the generational

The article “Cold warriors,” Gregoire (2008) indicates that climate change leads to environmental issues and melting ice, and the scientists’ researches point out climatic issues in Canada. The author comes up with a point that everyone is responsible for protecting the environment because people around the world are bearing negative effects due to climate degradation. For example, residents in Grise Fiord and Inuit notice a huge differences, the landscape is becoming warmer, softer and unpredictable. Moreover, a greater risk of environmental pollution is caused by climate change. In addition to changes in environment, shrinking glaciers, earlier ice breakup, later freeze-up and less snow caused by warmer temperature bring double-edged effects

“‘We know even relatively small amounts of sea level rise affect us,’ [Carl Spector, commissioner of Boston’s Environment Department] said. ‘All the models we’re seeing are concerning’” (Abel). Climate change, the warming and changing of the Earth’s atmosphere, has become a very prevalent issue over the past century. Despite having numerous sources in terms of hard evidence, many people still do not believe in the effects of climate change. Sea level rise is one effect of climate change that may change the minds of many because of its reality in today’s world. This issue is especially relevant in the Northeast because of several factors that further affect the sea level rise. In order to stop further effects on the Northeast, legislators must

The Alaskan climate means that it has hundreds of miles of permafrost areas, which are areas of frozen soil that stay at temperatures below the freezing point of 32 degrees Fahrenheit or zero degrees Celsius all year long.

In your post, you describe how the command climate survey is not a requirement for battalion commanders and above. I believe that it should be a requirement that the battalion commander administer the command climate survey at least once a year. I also believe that the command climate survey have some form of impact on a commanders career. Right now as you have stated in your post, the survey is required only for the CIP inspection and the Quarterly Narrative and Statistical Report. If command climate surveys could influence annual ratings and promotions, I believe we may begin to see toxic leaders remove themselves before they gain significant rank. If this were a new policy implemented for the Army, I think that implementation

Your experiences at Disney are interesting. Thank you for sharing. If we look at my employer, the US Army as a corporate entity, which isn’t difficult to do, there is also a measurement of POS, but it is not quite the same as that which you explain. At each level of Command, a Commander must initiate a Command Climate Survey. This survey is conducted online and anonymously to protect the identity of the survey taker as well as give the survey taker the security needed to be free to express both positive and negative feedback without fear of reprisal. The results of these surveys are analyzed by a disinterested 3rd party, and the results presented to the Commander. The results give the commander an idea of the health of his or her workplace,

The Arctic has huge oil and gas reserves. Most are located in Russia: oil in the Pechora Basin, gas in the lower Ob Basin, and other potential oil and gas fields along the Siberian coast. Canadian oil and gas fields are concentrated in two main basins in the Mackenzie Delta/ Beaufort Sea region and in the Arctic Islands. In Alaska, Prudhoe Bay is the largest oil field in North America 16 Arctic Climate Impact Assessment and other fields have been discovered or remain to be discovered along the Beaufort Sea coast. Oil and gas fields also exist on Greenland’s west coast and in Norway’s arctic territories.

Throughout Earth’s history, frost free days have varied over the years. Since the mid-1970s, however, global temperatures have risen rapidly (Easterling, 2002). This raises the question about how climate change is affecting frost free days. What will the future look like if we go about “business as usual”? An increase in the number of frost free days would affect certain species in negative ways, while others in positive ways. There would be economical impacts as well. One might think an increase in frost free days would not be too big of a deal, but in reality, everything will get affected.

"Climate is the product of two factors: the long-term patterns in the circulation of the atmosphere and oceans, and topography, the very slowly changing shape of the land surface" (Lee et. al, 2013, p. 101). The topography of the earth has changed due to human actions which has resulted in an increase in erosion. "The process of natural selection: a population is selected by natural forces such as the ability to elude predators, survive drought, or reproduce" (Lee et. al, 2013, p.113). The use of the phrase "elude" suggest that animals settle in place where they are not hunted or displaced. We as a civilization have begin to take over their land or area. The outpouring of of biological diversity calls us to marvel at its fecundity. It also

The South American Cryosphere is composed of both tropical and temperate ice masses. The Patagonian Icefields in the Southern Andes represent a major temperate ice mass in South America (Warren and Sudgen, 1993). Although retreat of glaciers in the Southern Andes have been documented earlier (Rigot et al. 2003; Lopez et al. 2010; Willis et al. 2012), glacier of Southern Andes have long been neglected for mass-balance measurements. Due to the remoteness, inaccessibility, and tough weather conditions in the Andes, field-based mass-balance studies are sparse (Aniya et al. 1996). Because glaciers in this region have not been as closely studied, there is an uncertainty in the estimation of the contribution of these glacier-melts to the sea level

You may have heard people talking about how the weather is very different today than it was ten years ago. You may have noticed changes in the weather yourself. The earth's climate has changed many times over millions of years. And you may have heard about Global Warming. You may ask what Global Warming is. I remember the first time I ever saw and heard about Global Warming when I was just a little girl. I was watching the TV and a commercial came on, it was a cartoon with two kids and an adult. They were in the park enjoying the day. The adult started talking about Global Warming, the kids didn’t know what he was talking about, so he fast forward the time and showed them what the earth is going to look like when they are
