ABSTRACT Environmental change is a severe issue in the world as many parts of the world strive towards ensuring that the environment remains habitable and with minimal detrimental changes (Hamilton, 2011). Furthermore, environmental evolution is taught in most educational centers to ensure that people understand how to conserve the environment. However, many people perceive it as a dull subject and do not give it the attention it deserves; but this situation is changed by the number of movies, documentaries

Topic: impacts of climate change on biodiversity in Northern Canada Climate change, as a change in weather like global warming, has attracted the attention of the public. The issue of climate change has been becoming a global focus of attention for people around the world. Most scientists think that climate change is primarily caused by human activities. Temperature and precipitation shifts directly affect biota, and scientists think that as the climate continues to change, the biodiversity in

Obsidian Energy is a gas and oil producer of energy. It is located in Calgary, Canada. The company showed increasingly exciting growth in the third quarter of the last year. The CEO David French recently addressed the wells that were discovered in the Rocky Mountains of Western Canada. In that comment, Finch added that there are three million acres of land included in that region. This is encouraging news for the energy community. Obsidian Energy had begun exploration in the area just this past

How many ways of referring to ice exist in the language used by the Polar Eskimos? The answer may surprise since compared to the dominant languages, in which the concept of ice is described by a single word, the Polar Eskimos have more than twenty times that number. Despite apparent uniqueness of this language, it is likely that no one will use in a relatively short time as globalization whips out minority languages leaving only a few with a chance to survive. In the essay, “Death by Monoculture

predictions have been proven wrong, there has not been a significant temperature change, and arctic ice has been increasing. Predictions like increase of arctic ice and increase of temperature change have been proven wrong. Scientist said that there would be a significant temperature change, but it's been at a normal average temperature. Last is, arctic ice has been increasing. People predicted that arctic ice would be gone but it has been increasing by 50 percent since 2012. Remember, global warming

Environmental Aspects of Arctic Sovereignty 1. Introduction The Arctic has the world’s largest unused source of oil and it is getting international attention because of its extremely value resources (Crawford, Hanson & Runnalls, 2008). According to Digman (2011) the Arctic’s commercial interest mostly rely on drilling, mining and transportation development. However, Arctic’s development not only will lead to economical profits but also will bring international conflicts. Due to this, a Sovereignty

Polar Bears rely upon sea ice for survival. They hunt on seals that are found on sea ice. Climate change and the atmospheric warming have caused the Arctic ice to melt, resulting in loss of habitats for polar bears. This essay will focus on how has climate change and increase in temperature affected the polar bears and what can we do about it. INTRODUCTION In everyday news, there is always that one article that talks about how climate changes are scary and how it is affecting all of us. Some of

chain. Without it, top predators such as the brown bear would lack an important food source. The snowshoe hare is an herbivore. Like all herbivores, it eats only plants. Some plants that the snowshoe hare eats are the reindeer lichen, the arctic willow, and the arctic sedge. In the ANWR, it is important that the snowshoe hare has useful adaptations since it lives in the tundra, one of the world’s toughest biomes to survive in. Its signature adaptation is its ability to change color. During the winter

A Story of Microevolution: Polar Bears Without Polar Caps There are not many creatures in the world that have the ability to not only survive thirty-two degrees below zero temperatures, but live in this climate as well. Among penguins and seals, polar bears are apart of the group of creatures that live everyday life in these freezing conditions. However, polar bears were not always able to do this. According to the Public Broadcast Service (PBS) website, polar bears evolved from brown bears through

Polar Bears have become one of the most well-known and protected species over the course of the last ten years, but still so few people understand how amazing these creatures truly are. The scientific name for the polar bear is Ursus Martimus. Though Polar Bears are part of the bear family they do have some differences. Polar bears can only be found in the Artic, the northernmost part of the Earth. The ground in the Artic is made of Permafrost, or ground that has been frozen at temperatures of
