Tropical entomologist Terry Erwin’s research supports that there may be as many as 30 million insect species alone in the tropical rainforests (Shiva et al‚ 1991‚ 14). One of the true challenges to biodiversity is that there are so many species that we may be obliterating that we are not even aware exist yet. We are destroying species faster than we can identify them. Extinction and evolution are a normal part of the life cycle on Earth. Of all

Another key sociological approach to climate change is the conflict theory. To acknowledge this point‚ one needs to understand the economic concept of profit-maximization and cost-minimization. People naturally tend to act in their self-interest and that often results in clashes between one another. For instance‚ Should we close down a potable water factory because it is spilling its wastes in a nearby lake? Here is where the sociological perspectives come into place. It is necessary to weigh the

Climate Change Justice Should climate change justice be prioritized at a national and global level? Introduction What is Climate Change Justice? When addressing climate change justice‚ the concept is directly linked to an individual’s collective worldviews. Ethics and justice often time overlap into what the world decides is either wrong or right and how certain resources are divided up‚ which includes human rights and governance. Depending on the person‚ there may be a variety of outcomes that

aren’t worried about climate change‚ but little do they know that our planet is going through a disastrous process that we have caused and that it could potentially end up killing us. This process is climate change. Although the rates at which our planet is warming are very slight‚ this slight warming can have a huge impact. This is a pressing issue because our Earth is constantly warming and many catastrophic events could occur if global temperatures rise. For example‚ sea levels could

Effects of climate change on Great Barrier Reek Rising sea temperature Rising sea temperatures have adverse effects on the Great Barrier Reef (Johnson and Marshal 2007). According to Johanna and Marshal (2007)‚ increased temperature has a significant role in destroying aquatic life because sea animals have a particular body heat limit to survive in the ocean. As a result of enhanced heat‚ this limit has extended beyond that limit (Laugh and Hobdy 2011). For example‚ 8 years ago summer weather was
