Introduction A. Attention Getter: Think of a world where more hurricanes and tropical storms causing massive destruction in different areas around the world and more animal species losing their habitats and becoming extinct just due to B. Relevance: The human activity of using too much of fossil fuel from mobile vehicles to the electric energy in outlets is affecting our planet C. Propositional Statement: Global Warming is still an ongoing problem‚ because it’s degrading of the world. I propose

Worldwide‚ the rain‚ when it falls‚ is often more intense. Floods and storms are more severe and heat waves are becoming more extreme. Rivers freeze later in the winter and melt earlier. Trees flower earlier in spring‚ insects emerge faster and birds lay eggs sooner. Glaciers are melting. The global mean sea level

Climate change causes weather patterns to change resulting in long droughts severe storms‚ bushfires and rising sea levels. Climate change occurs around the world due to the greenhouse gases trapping the heat in our earth. E.g. global warming and climate change is occurring in north and South Pole due to a rise in the earth’s

Besides‚ a lot of carbon dioxide may pollute environment seriously‚ harming the global health. Furthermore‚ destruction of the world’s forest will make advantage for disaster as flood‚ drought‚ tidal waves and so forth. People all know that trees protect them from flood by keeping a large amount of water‚ or drought by maintaining the humidity of the world. However‚ it seems like our efficient shield is broken by ourselves. According to many scientists‚ in this century‚ people have to suffer a

Just about every section of Australia has a drought in the dry season. These droughts cause severe water shortages and cause the need for dramatic conservation laws as well as droughts there is also brush fires.<br><br>Rivers in Australia are one of its most vital resources.

There are many people all over Africa who go hungry every day. Many people come up with different ways to help them with this problem of hunger; they go on mission trips‚ raise money‚ or creating feeding programs in Africa. While these things do help them a lot it does not seem to ever solve the problem of hunger. One of the best ways to help them‚ and to possibly solve the hunger problem‚ is to help them help themselves. This could be as simple as getting many of the farmers to farm genetically

types of disasters like flood‚ cyclonic storms‚ tidal surges‚ droughts‚ tornadoes‚ riverbank erosion‚ earthquake‚ etc. occur frequently in Bangladesh. Identifying the vulnerable areas with reference to natural hazards causing damage to the housing stock and the related infrastructure are most important for infrastructures development. In this study‚ four natural hazards which are the most common for damaging in Bangladesh‚ namely earthquake‚ cyclones‚ tornadoes and floods are considered to develop

of Heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere. The release of these gases has increased in the last 500 years since the industrial revolution. There is an expectation that global warming will result to rising sea levels‚ droughts‚ fires‚ heat waves‚ extreme storms‚ heavy rainfall‚ floods‚ and melting of snow and ice. These changes as envisaged would affect agriculture and general food availability with devastating consequences for existence of life on earth. In additional‚ life would change completely

By way of a varied use of descriptive language the short stories of Lawson and poetry of Mackellar show that it is true that distinctively visual texts allow the reader to vividly imagine and gain insights into the characters‚ relationships and settings. Lonely drover’s wives‚ Bushmen and fettlers‚ as well as the setting of a sunburnt Australian landscape are brought to life and into unique relationship‚ in the visual imagery of Henry Lawson and Dorothea Mackellar’s compositions. Henry Lawson created
