World War I and II represent a large gap in the expansion of technology available to the world. But, when someone is involved in a war just a couple decades previous, they know how that war was one. A large bomb to decimate large portions of the population along with instilling a great amount of fear into people were
The social and media related exposure of smoking and deceit of the tobacco industries is leading incoming generations to create fatal health habits. The negative health effects of smoking and other tobacco use are well known and documented by nearly every health-conscious organization in the United States. Cancer, heart disease, and most major pulmonary diseases top the list of the most painful and deadly reasons to quit and not to start in the first place. It’s estimated that more than 1-in-6 deaths in the United States is due to cigarettes alone. In addition, more than three million people die every year worldwide from smoking related diseases (Pringle 44).
The pollution that causes global warming is linked to acid rain. Acid rain gradually destroys almost everything it touches. Global warming is also causing many more fires that wipe out whole forests. This happens because global warming can make the earth very hot. In forests, some plants and trees leaves can be so dry that they catch on
This program exactly is the reason why the utilities companies want to stop it since it is unfair for the non-solar customers. While people benefit from California’s incentive plan of solar energy, the fossil fuel utilities company also has a plan giving credit to their users. Despite the solar power technology is challenged by the fossil fuel utilities, it has been considered as a possibility of substitution of utilities. In my opinion, it is somewhat simple to save money with solar power. You can build your own electricity generator by using solar panels.
Also methane is release from the ocean floor since it was froze and changed to methane clathrates in the ice age. We don’t know how much amount of methane clathrates we have on the ocean floor but it is a numerous amount. Methane is also been created by the decomposition of biomass for example trash or anything that you throw to the garbage. Each year we have 30 to 70 million tons of methane produce in landfill. So all this waste are killing the planet.

The tremendous eruption of Mount Tambora in April 1815 was the most powerful volcanic eruption of the 19th century. The eruption and the tsunamis it triggered killed tens of thousands of people. And the magnitude of the explosion is difficult to fathom. It has been estimated that Mount Tambora stood approximately 12,000 feet tall before the 1815 eruption, and the top 4,000 feet of the mountain was completely obliterated. Adding to the disaster's massive scale, the huge amount of dust blasted into the upper atmosphere by the Tambora eruption contributed to a bizarre and highly destructive weather event the following year.
A person’s health is greatly affected by their lifestyle decisions. Someone who chooses to smoke especially on a regular long term basis will be harming they're health greatly. Smoking directly causes 1000's of deaths in the UK each year and contributes too many more. Cigarettes contain more than 4000 chemicals, These chemicals are dangerous and cause many physical problems on a person’s health,69 of those chemicals are known to cause cancer, some of the ingredients of a cigarette are horrific: •Benzene (petrol additive) •Formaldehyde (embalming fluid) •Ammonia (toilet cleaner) •Acetone (nail polish) •Tar •Nicotine •Carbon monoxide •Arsenic (rat poison) •Hydrogen Cyanide (Gas chamber poison) All smokers energy levels are depleted because of lack of oxygen in the blood stream. Oxygen levels decrease about 15% when smoking, to be replaced by carbon monoxide.
Katrina also killed at least 1,833 people in the time that it took to cross most of eastern North America. Hurricane Charley formed on August 9, 2004 caused $16.3 billion in damages and killed about 35 people. Hurricane Ike formed September 1, 2008 and ended on September 14, 2008. Hurricane Ike caused up to $37.6 billion in damage and killed 195 people in just 13 days. The difference between a hurricane, typhoon, and a cyclone is the
Another problem is trash lifted by the tsunami waters from anywhere and everywhere, including debris from the earthquake disaster, has also been released and swept out to the ocean. The ocean’s waves and currents distribute the trash, along with the nuclear waste, throughout the waters, polluting the environment, near and far. Along with the physical devastation of getting infrastructure usable again, Japan is faced with environmental issues and daunting health concerns that must be improved, if not solved. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is one of the largest and oldest plants in the world existing for over 40 years now. It is now facing great threat due to the recent natural disasters.
