Football, World War 2, Global Warming
1) Football
Football refers to a number of sports that involve, to varying degrees, kicking a ball with the foot to score a goal. The most popular of these sports worldwide is association football, more commonly known as just "football" or "soccer". Unqualified, the word football applies to whichever form of football is the most popular in the regional context in which the word appears, including association football, as well as American football, Australian rules football, Canadian football, Gaelic football, rugby league, rugby union and other related games. These variations of football are known as football codes.
Various forms of football can be identified in history, often as popular peasant games. Contemporary codes of football can be traced back to the codification of these games at English public schools in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. The influence and power of the British Empire allowed these rules of football to spread to areas of British influence outside of the directly controlled Empire, though by the end of the nineteenth century, distinct regional codes were already developing: Gaelic Football, for example, deliberately incorporated the rules of local traditional football games in order to maintain their heritage. In 1888, The Football League was founded in England, becoming the first of many professional football competitions. During the twentieth century, the various codes of football became amongst the most popular team sports in the world.
2) World War II - 1941-1945
The war in Europe, which started between Nazi Germany on one side and Poland, Great Britain, and France on the other, developed into a second World War. Although the Roosevelt administration favored the defeat of Germany and its principal ally, fascist Italy, the United States did not enter the war until after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, December 7, 1941. Congress declared war on Japan the next day. Three days later, Germany and Italy declared war on

References: 1, page 2) Humans produce greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane, by burning fossil fuels to power homes and factories, generating waste and cutting down trees. Since 1750, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased over 36 percent, methane has increased over 148 percent and nitrous oxide has increased over 18 percent. Since the early 20th century, the global temperature has warmed at a rate of about 1.3 degrees F. Scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change conclude that most of the warming since the 1950s has occurred because of human activities that increase greenhouse gas emissions. If we continue to produce greenhouse gases at even the current rate, by 2100 the average global temperature will likely increase 3 to 7 degrees F.
