The photographs taken on the reservation informs us about the Blackfeet tribe’s incorporation of modern materials goods that were often rewarded to them for bringing publicity to the Glaciers National Park during the early 1900s. As shown from the photographs in Going to the Source‚ it is clear to say that the Blackfeet tribe had no hesitation in embracing the modern material goods presented to them as they would regularly use them in their daily lives. The opportunities given to the Blackfeet Tribe

Meaning of Global Warning A gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth’s atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide‚ CFCs‚ and other pollutants. Climate change is any substantial change in Earth’s climate that lasts for an extended period of time. Global warming refers to climate change that causes an increase in the average temperature of the lower atmosphere. Global warming can have many different causes‚ but it is most

disturbs the rain cycle‚ the ecological balance‚ the cycle of seasons etc. It adversely affects vegetation and agriculture. Thus‚ we have to face frequent floods and droughts through the world. With the increase in temperature and the melting of glaciers‚ even snowfall has reduced its occurrence and intensity. The winter temperatures are showing a gradual increase. With the warming of the planet there is also rise in humidity because the rise in temperature has increase the rate of evaporation. The

Novels are written to give a message to the world; this message can be good or bad‚ important or superficial‚ critical or supportive‚ but every story needs an initial purpose. Slaughterhouse-Five‚ written by Kurt Vonnegut‚ was published post World War II and follows the life of Billy Pilgrim who witnesses the fire-bombing of Dresden‚ Germany during that time. On the surface‚ the story seems to be just a jumble of confusion and chaos without any significant insight into life‚ war‚ or human nature

Global Warming By Abhijit Naik/30/11/2011 Global warming is one of the most serious environmental issues threatening the very existence of various plants and animal species on the planet. Over the last 100 years‚ the global near-surface temperatures has increased by 0.32SF as a result of various natural as well as anthropogenic causes of global warming. That being said‚ one also needs to take into consideration that the natural causes of global warming play a crucial role in stabilizing the

Causes of Global Warming Photograph by Peter Essick What Causes Global Warming? Scientists have spent decades figuring out what is causing global warming. They’ve looked at the natural cycles and events that are known to influence climate. But the amount and pattern of warming that’s been measured can’t be explained by these factors alone. The only way to explain the pattern is to include the effect of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted by humans. To bring all this information together‚ the United

Establish credibility: Due to the rapid emission of greenhouse gases especially carbon dioxide gas‚ the earth temperature has raised for 1°C since 1950. As a result‚ global warming seems to be getting worse each year which leads to rapid melting of the glacier in North and South Poles. This causes an increase in sea level which in turn inundates wetlands and other low-lying lands and intensifies flooding. However‚ there are some people contribute their strength in order to save their mother earth from deteriorating

An Inconvenient Truth explores data and predictions regarding climate change‚ interspersed with personal events from the life of Al Gore. Through a Keynote presentation (dubbed "the slide show") that he has presented worldwide‚ Gore reviews the scientific evidence for global warming‚ discusses the politics and economics of global warming‚ and describes the consequences he believes global climate change will produce if the amount of human-generated greenhouse gases is not significantly reduced in

of Earth ’s surface is covered by water bodies. 97 per cent of this water is present in oceans as salt water and is unfit for human consumption. Fresh water accounts for only about 2.7 per cent. Nearly 70 per cent of this occurs as ice sheets and glaciers n Antarctica and other inaccessible places. Only one per cent of fresh water is available and fit for human use. So it is very important to conserve this precious resource. And yet we are contaminating the existing water resources with sewage‚ toxic
