The Colorado Compact was created in 1922 to establish rights between states. However the period of time in which the agreements were made was during a time of greater rainfall and water surplus. Present environmental conditions and human activity has lead to a decrease in available water which is causing conflict between a wide range of stakeholders in many regions of America – especially Mexico, and lower basin states such as California. One group of stakeholders already suffering are farmers. Agriculture receives 80% of the Colorado River supply, and much of this is wasted in inappropriate crop choices, e.g.
This issue has been a larger struggle due to the harsh climate. There has been a decrease in rainfall of about 29-49% which would mean that they land is badly managed due to the lack of water. The average temperature of the region has increased meaning that
Their lack in technology advancements help them back from growing their population to a greater number. So much work had to go into harvesting their crops and they were unable to store things for a long period of time. Their daily work of harvesting food was all they had time for, it's how they were able to survive. Jared says' "Highland agriculture was based on crops like these taro roots, which are very different from cereal crops. Taro is much more work.
Animal Science places a great value on communication. Dr. Skaar shared that he felt communication was very important, and since technology in the field of Animal Science is rapidly expanding he feels that an even greater emphasis is put on communication. Skaar provided the example of professionals being able to communicate the important technological lingo to users or stakeholders. In this sense I feel communicating with others in Animal Science, as well as those throughout the agricultural division is a crucial part of our lives today as technology increases. Different types of communication are used to relay messages to others throughout the field.

Scientists predict that if the increase in greenhouse gas emissions continues unabated, temperatures will rise by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of this century, potentially causing dramatic and irreversible changes to the climate. The consequences, both anticipated and unforeseen, will have profound ramifications for humanity and the world as a whole. Water supplies in some critical areas will dwindle as snow and ice disappear. Sea levels will rise, threatening
Scarcity is a major problem in the Central African Republic. Many of their resources are inadequate for the majority of the population. One of the worst scarcity issues in the Central African Republic is of the basic needs. Clean water is also very scarce. Nutritious food is also difficult to get in the Central African Republic.
Since we have the attention of everyone, now is the best time to take action against global warming. Due to the increasing temperatures every year our public health and our agriculture/food supply is at high risk for new and worse diseases due to global warming; we need to change our climate control policies to protect ourselves. Gases are being trapped inside of earth’s atmosphere like a soda can, and are gradually increasing Earth’s temperatures that ice will start melting and there will be flooding due to rising sea levels; plants and animals will start becoming endangered (as cited in Cooper, 2001). We have already seen coastal flooding in parts of Central America and Bermuda’s forests are now endangered due to flooding (as cited in Clemmitt, 2006). Global warming has been an issue since factories were introduced to this world; gases and toxins are being highly exposed into our atmosphere causing a tremendous reaction to the balance of nature.
Climate change may be limited to a specific region, or may occur across the whole Earth. Discussion of the predicted levels/amount of global climate change. Many greenhouse gases stay in the atmosphere for long periods of time. As a result, even if emissions stopped increasing, atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations would continue to increase and remain elevated for hundreds of years. Moreover, if we stabilized concentrations and the composition of today's atmosphere remained steady (which would require a dramatic reduction in current greenhouse gas emissions), surface air temperatures would continue to warm.
