Genetic engineering is a method of plant breeding that allows the transfer of genes from one plant into another‚ unrelated‚ plant species. The chief goal of producing genetically modified plants is to create species that do not naturally occur in the environment. Pros of plant genetic engineering include: Creating crops that are resistant to herbicides. Creating crops that possess resistance to insects. Producing plants that have richer nutritional value. Creating plants that could serve as vaccines

2050 because of climate change. Climate change is the world’s most prominent problem‚ yet there seems to be no action being taken. My goal is to persuade you to sponsor a renewable energy program to take action against the horrific effects that climate change is already having at the North and South Poles because it is going to start affecting the rest of the world‚ and waiting even one year could drastically harm the ecosystems of the only planet we can sustain life on. Climate change is the most difficult

Environmental Problem: Climate Change Introduction This report sets out to show that climate change is currently the leading environmental threat to the Earth and requires people to tackle this long-term and global problem with worldwide cooperation. Climate change is the build- up of gases such as carbon dioxide‚ water vapour and methane in the atmosphere; this means the world is warming (Lewis et al‚ 2004). Pakenham (2004‚ pp.217) states that climate change has chain effects leading to global

Natasha Lloyd Auckland New Zealand. Abstract New Zealand is known globally for its clean‚ green image‚ but climate change‚ the build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere‚ through the burning of fossile fules has been predicted to negatively impact New Zealand in many ways. Environmentally‚ temperatures and sea levels will rise‚ along with the frequency of extreme weather conditions such as droughts. The increased frequency of droughts will have a significant impact on the New Zealand economy
