Meanwhile, an invasive species, or humans, has started a chain of disasters that are accelerating global changes and, in extension, the crucial selection of existence. Over the years, the field of natural science has increased human knowledge regarding our negative impact on the planet. Despite this, humans have taken minimal action towards addressing the problem that, considered a myth by some, is global warming. Many of us take our planet for granted, not realizing that, in of its own, it consist

Emergency Events Database (EED) shows that the frequency of hydrological natural disasters has more than quadrupled since 1970 (Figure 1) and category 5 storm likelihood is said to double for every degree Celsius increase in global temperature (Lopez et al, 2015). However, Figure 1 Global Frequency of Natural Disasters by Type (1970-2014) From: (Lopez et al. 2015) due to the advent of satellite observation, data prior to 1981 was technologically limited (Walsh et al, 2012). Studies suggest that storm

Our modern industrial society provides us with great physical and psychological comfort. We live not with a fear for our lives, we are politically stable and dominant; even the terrorist attacks against us cannot strip us of our safety bubble.

He then also argues that the United States can solve its own problems and help the entire planet, by becoming a world leader in green technology. Global warming, global flattening, and global crowding are the three main elements

The Necessary Revolution How We Got Into This Predicament Something important has happened in the last stage of the industrial era that sets it apart from the past: Globalization has brought a level of interdependence between nations and regions that never existed before, along with truly global problems that also have no precedent. The Industrial Age isn’t ending because of a decline in opportunities for further expansion. It is ending because individuals, organizations, and governments are realizing

Not only should young people benefit from these global initiatives, but they should be empowered to play a leading role in them. Each year, the

When the topic of global warming comes up in conversation many people either groan and avoid conversation, or don their dueling gloves and prepare for a heated debate. Some people feel guilty and concerned; some simply do not care.  Different points of view yield different stances on the subject. Coming from the scientific and environmental points of view, myrmecologist Edward O. Wilson discusses the severity of global warming, some of the threads of thought that oppose his own, and some of the consequences
