The paper is a presentation of the covering upon of all the prime issues social, political, cultural or natural, which are responsible for the happening of the Amazon rainforest fires, which is very immediate and current issue. Not to be shocked, the event has catched all the eyeballs of the leaders as well as environmentalists in general. There has been a comparative study of the event on the basis of two national newspapers and one regional newspaper. The facts and figures remain the same, but the series of events which ultimately led to this horrifying incident differs in every paper. On the grounds of these varying events, the issue is a trial to be seen in the light of various angles. There can no one single valid point which can be established as the reason, but the equal or unequal contribution of these issues led to the flares of fire, which ultimately harmed the lungs of earth.

"Research on the resistance of cassava to fire is scarce because ordinarily researchers would not set their cassava farms on fire for such evaluation. Stems rendered useless by fire were commonly reported by farmers but no information on root yields and shoot regeneration. This study compared the superiority of two improved International Institute of Tropical Agriculture IITA cassava varieties “Yellow root†and “Agric†over plantain and moringa in a cassava plantain moringa intercropping arranged in a randomized complete block design at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Research Farm. The original aim was to compare the performances of the crops in the mixture. It was set on fire by unknown persons in early February 2018. Crop growth data were collected after six months. Less than 5 and 4 of plantain and moringa stands regenerated respectively. The stands appeared impoverished. More than 90 of both cassava varieties regenerated stems suitable for use as cuttings. Average fresh root yield obtained was 18.5 t ha 1 with Ëœ 95 marketable and only 5 rotten. The “Yellow root†gave significantly higher starch content 30.9 vs 19.7 than “Agricâ€. The root shoot ratio 3.35 vs 5.28 , fresh root weight 22.5 vs 14.5 t h1 and marketable root weight 21.61 vs 13.72 t ha1 for both varieties were statistically similar. This evaluation confirmed cassava as a better food security crop than plantain and more resilient to fire than both plantain and moringa. The two IITA improved varieties proved to be equally resilient to bush fire. Asadu, C. L. A | B. O. Unagwu | A. G. O. Dixon | R. Okechukwu | P. Ilona | A. N.

This document discusses a project in India that aims to integrate traditional and scientific knowledge systems regarding climate prediction and agriculture. The project establishes "Village Knowledge Centers" where scientific climate forecasts are received and converted into localized information for farmers. Farmers manage the centers and all community members have access, regardless of gender, caste, etc. The project strives to bridge the two knowledge systems through participatory approaches and training programs to build capacity of farmers in using forecast information. Initial results showed linkages being formed between farmers and agencies to share needs, constraints, and opportunities around integrating different climate knowledge scales.
Whitefly is a known pest of economic importance in the cassava production systems of Africa. This pest has been reported to cause losses to cassava through direct feeding damage as well as vectoring cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and cassava brown streak disease (CBSD). Serangium parcesetosum is a known predator of whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and previous screenhouse and laboratory studies reported that temperature affected the reproduction and survival of this predator. However, these findings lacked precision since they did not depict the field situation. In that regard, it was imperative to initiate a study to help understand the influence of abiotic factors especially temperature and rainfall on the population of S. parcesetosum in the cassava growing fields of Uganda. The study was conducted in two agro-ecological zones of Uganda, namely; North Western Savannah Grassland (Lira) and the Kyoga Plains (Kamuli) in the first rains of 2017. Results revealed that temperature caused an increment of 3.5%, 9.1% (Kamuli) and 1.1%, 1.8% (Lira) for mean adult and larvae S. parcesesotum per plant respectively. On the contrary, rainfall caused a decrease in the population of S. parcesesotum in Lira. Generally, the effect of both temperature and rainfall on the predator population in the field was minimal.
The document discusses using ICT tools and information services to help farmers in India prepare for droughts. It describes a study in Andhra Pradesh where drought vulnerability maps created with GIS and ICT tools like phone calls and video conferences were used to educate farmers about drought and provide agricultural advisories. By giving farmers early access to weather information and advisories, it helped them make informed decisions to cope with drought and reduce losses. The document outlines the methodology used, including developing learning materials about drought and creating drought severity maps for villages to assess vulnerability.
Researchers at the University of Cincinnati have developed successful methods for removing invasive plant species from Ohio nature preserves and restoring native plant populations. Denis Conover and Tim Sisson used targeted herbicide applications when native plants were dormant to kill the evergreen invasive wintercreeper, English ivy and lesser periwinkle. They also removed Amur honeysuckle, which forms dense thickets choking out native species. Following removal of the invasive plants, surveys found over 387 native plant species resurging in Bender Mountain Nature Preserve, including wildflowers, trees, shrubs, ferns and grasses. The researchers hope their methods can be applied nationwide to promote restoration of native biodiversity.
This research article analyzes the relationship between deforestation, air pollution, and the spread of the Brazilian variant of COVID-19 in the Manaus region of Brazil. Researchers found that air pollution from Manaus increases the formation of secondary organic aerosols in the Amazon rainforest via increased oxidation reactions. Three-quarters of the population in Manaus was infected with COVID-19 between March and October 2020, compared to one-third of the population in Sao Paulo. The P.1 variant first identified in travelers from Brazil has mutations like E484K and N501Y associated with increased infectivity, virulence, and immune evasion.

The document summarizes an essay about environmental security. It discusses how the 2012 drought in the Midwest affected crops and global populations. It questions whether this was due to natural causes or human impacts on the environment. The concept of environmental security considers the effects of environmental issues within and between countries. It also discusses how climate change caused the USDA to update its plant hardiness zone map in 2012, showing zones had shifted northward. This expansion of viable crop zones could financially benefit large agriculture companies but hurt small, independent farmers.

Climate Change, Resource Scarcity and Conflictijtsrd
Natural resource scarcity and global climate change may alter the risk of violent conflict in the future. Resource scarcity to meet basic needs such as food and land and water can be worsened by governmental ineffectiveness, and vulnerability of populations, ecosystems, economies, and institutions can outweigh the magnitude of climate or scarcity impacts themselves. Resource availability must be seen not as a stand alone issue, but rather in the context of the overall political economy landscape. Policymakers can benefit from the use of surveillance, early warning systems, and risk anticipation to plan for coming natural disasters and associated scarcity. Development of resilience can offer valuable adaptation and risk reduction methodologies while international action needs to focus on improving cooperation and resilience of international markets through multilateral trade rules or stockpiling of key commodities. Too often, the natural environment is directly attacked or damaged by warfare. Attacks can lead to water, soil and land contamination, or release pollutants into the air. Explosive remnants of war can contaminate soil and water sources, and harm wildlife. Such environmental degradation reduces peoples resilience and ability to adapt to climate change. The indirect effects of conflict can also result in further environmental degradation, for example authorities are less able to manage and protect the environment large scale displacement places strain on resources natural resources can be exploited to sustain war economies. In Fao, south of Basra, Iraq, people blame their water and farming problems on the felling of date palms for military purposes during the Iran Iraq war. Conflict can also contribute to climate change. For example, the destruction of large areas of forest, or damage to infrastructure such as oil installations or big industrial facilities, can have detrimental climate consequences, including the release of large volumes of greenhouse gases into the air.

The main purpose of this paper is to draw the nexus between environment and conflict with the concept of redefining security. This paper is aimed to answer the question whether environmental degradation or environment as a broad concept can lead to a conflict directly, if it can do so then how this will be the central question of this Paper. To do so, some relevant case studies will be framed to show the nexus between environment and conflict. Finally, there will be concluding remarks which will draw the critical perspective behind Environmental Conflict. Fatema-Tuj-Juhra "Environmental Conflict: Myth or Reality?"

During the semester you should record environmental events weather .docxkanepbyrne80830
During the semester you should record environmental events: weather events (heavy rain, drought, winds, freezes), earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods and coastal inundation, tsunami events (seismic waves), biodiversity issues and species extinctions, landslides, record icebergs, Antarctic ice-shelf disintegration, stratospheric ozone updates, air pollution occurrences, or other significant events related to the physical elements of the environment.
Your event log must include at least twelve events. Your log must include the date the event happened, the source from which you found the information, the type of event it is, and a brief paragraph about the event. Your list of events must be typed and put in chronological order.
You can use print media (newspapers, magazines, newsletters) or the internet as a source of information for learning about the latest occurrences. If you choose to use internet sources they
must
be legitimate news sources, not somebody’s blog.
The purpose of this exercise to show you how much of physical geography is actually occurring out there in the “real world”. Only record events that occurred this year – do not record events that happened in prior years.

San Pedro is one of the busiest ports in the United States. Environmental justice activists are gaining influence, taking on the San Pedro Bay ports over contamination of the neighborhoods along transportation corridors. Soot and nitrogen oxides from ships, trains, and trucks are linked to asthma, cancer, and heart disease. Last year, 5,339 ships docked at the two ports. The new rules are forcing ships to switch to low-sulfur fuel within 24 miles of the coast and to plug into electrical outlets while they are docked. The ports pledge to cut pollution by 45% by 2012.

The document discusses the need for Russia to establish its own national genome project in order to map genetic diversity within the Russian population and close a major gap in the global genome map. It notes Russia's large landmass and population size, as well as its role in human migration history, making it an important area for genomic research. A Genome Russia Project could help discover disease genes, illuminate human ancestry patterns, and benefit biomedical research in Russia. International collaboration on such a project could help integrate Russian researchers into the global genomics community.

Rhetorical Analysis of Craig Welch’s article,
“How Amazon forest loss may affect water—and climate—far away.”
The writer of the article, Craig Welch, is a journalist who covers natural and environmental resources, putting much emphasis on oceans and climate change. There have been changes happening in Amazon forest in Brazil for over 30 years as reported by the journal Global Change Biology. More drought-resistant plant species have appeared in the forest which suggests that the forest is preparing itself for change in the climate. The article is addressing the Brazilians, especially their leaders, intending to persuade them that their acts of deforestation do not only have an impact in their country but also far beyond the country. The purpose of the article is to appeal to the Brazilian leaders to consider conserving the Amazon rather than destroying it due to its importance in environmental conservation. Using previous studies as evidence, Craig Welch tries to demonstrate to the Brazilian leaders and the population in general on how the destruction of the Amazon could affect them and other countries in terms of climate and availability of water. Using a persuasive tone, Craig Welch implores the readers to conserve the water tower for the sake of climate change. He feels that without proper conservation of the tower, climate change will lead to more devastating consequences that will see people losing their lives in years to come. The article is persuasive enough to his audience based on the language used in the article and his accolades.
Craig Welch is a well-known journalist who writes for National Geographic about the environment. He uses his experience and knowledge on matters that are related to the environment to persuade the audience on the credibility of his writings. He won the 2015 Pulitzer Prize and his coverage of the deadliest landslide in the United States of America history. On top of that, he has also won other awards in journalism from the Overseas Press Club, the Society of Environmental Journalists and the National Academy of Sciences on top of being a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University. His accolades play a significant role in persuading the audience on the credibility of his information about the Amazon forest. Having travelled and repeated from all the seven continents in the world, he has the necessary knowledge and experience to know the consequences of destroying the Amazon forest, which the indigenous people might not be aware of.
The author uses fear to appeal to the emotions of his audience. In the article, the writer says that experts in the matters related to the environment have warned that continuous destruction of the Amazon forest could lead to loss of moisture which shall eventually lead to the drying out of the forest ("How Amazon Forest Loss May Affect Water ‘and Climate ‘far Away"). This phenomenon is likely to lead to the reduction of rainfall ...
The document discusses the melting of glaciers due to global warming and the problems that this causes. Glaciers around the world, including the large ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland, have been shrinking and retreating in recent decades. This melting is accelerated by rising global temperatures. The shrinking of glaciers threatens water supplies and will displace millions of people as sea levels rise. Scientists use various techniques like satellite observations, aerial surveys, and satellite gravimetry to measure changes in glacier mass and confirm that ice loss is increasing over the long term.
The Amazon rainforest fires of 2019 saw a significant increase in fires occurring across Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Peru during the dry season due to human activities like farming and mining. This led to international concern as the Amazon plays a key role in mitigating climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide. Fighting the fires effectively requires greater infrastructure and integration between different groups, as the existing system is inadequate to prevent and control the large number of fires.
The document summarizes the key findings of a report published in The Lancet medical journal on the health impacts of climate change on children worldwide. The report found that failing to limit global temperature rise to under 2 degrees Celsius as outlined in the Paris Agreement would lead to increased health problems for children from infectious diseases, air pollution, heat, and malnutrition. Children are especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change due to their developing bodies and lungs. Without action to reduce emissions, air pollution and wildfires will increase, worsening health problems. The report aims to highlight the huge costs of climate change on children's health and well-being in an effort to spur stronger climate action.
Climate change is argued to be linked to increased natural disasters like hurricanes. Experts agree that global warming has increased atmospheric temperatures and storm intensities. The document discusses definitions of climate change and natural disasters. It also provides tips for preparing for different types of natural disasters like hurricanes, winter storms, and thunderstorms by having emergency supplies.
1. Andrew Revkin discusses the changing landscape of environmental journalism as both media and the environment undergo rapid change.
2. Specialized science journalists now make up a shrinking portion of growing media, threatening to reduce public understanding of science and the planet. However, new models like blogging and social media allow for more collaborative and networked reporting.
3. Emerging forms of online media like videos, graphics and hashtags provide opportunities for scientists, universities and agencies to directly communicate with the public about important issues like climate change.

Global Warming Delusions
By DANIEL B. BOTKIN
Global warming doesn't matter except to the extent that it will affect life -- ours and that of all living things on Earth. And contrary to the latest news, the evidence that global warming will have serious effects on life is thin. Most evidence suggests the contrary.
Kilimanjaro's shrinking ice cap is not directly related to global warming.
Case in point: This year's United Nations report on climate change and other documents say that 20%-30% of plant and animal species will be threatened with extinction in this century due to global warming -- a truly terrifying thought. Yet, during the past 2.5 million years, a period that scientists now know experienced climatic changes as rapid and as warm as modern climatological models suggest will happen to us, almost none of the millions of species on Earth went extinct. The exceptions were about 20 species of large mammals (the famous megafauna of the last ice age -- saber-tooth tigers, hairy mammoths and the like), which went extinct about 10,000 to 5,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age, and many dominant trees and shrubs of northwestern Europe. But elsewhere, including North America, few plant species went extinct, and few mammals.
We're also warned that tropical diseases are going to spread, and that we can expect malaria and encephalitis epidemics. But scientific papers by Prof. Sarah Randolph of Oxford University show that temperature changes do not correlate well with changes in the distribution or frequency of these diseases; warming has not broadened their distribution and is highly unlikely to do so in the future, global warming or not.
The key point here is that living things respond to many factors in addition to temperature and rainfall. In most cases, however, climate-modeling-based forecasts look primarily at temperature alone, or temperature and precipitation only. You might ask, "Isn't this enough to forecast changes in the distribution of species?" Ask a mockingbird. The New York Times recently published an answer to a query about why mockingbirds were becoming common in Manhattan. The expert answer was: food -- an exotic plant species that mockingbirds like to eat had spread to New York City. It was this, not temperature or rainfall, the expert said, that caused the change in mockingbird geography.
You might think I must be one of those know-nothing naysayers who believes global warming is a liberal plot. On the contrary, I am a biologist and ecologist who has worked on global warming, and been concerned about its effects, since 1968. I've developed the computer model of forest growth that has been used widely to forecast possible effects of global warming on life -- I've used the model for that purpose myself, and to forecast likely effects on specific endangered species.
I'm not a naysayer. I'm a scientist who believes in the scientific method and in what facts tell us. I have worked for 40 years to try to improve our enviro ...

ire protection was long considered the indis-

that they have a unique fire problem, and that they can
get little help in solving it from European foresters. . . .
We must work it out for ourselves."' Earle H. Clapp,

Aves Uruguay, a conservation NGO in Uruguay, plans to launch an Observatory of Natural Grasslands to monitor the country's main natural ecosystem of grasslands. The organization is concerned about the rapid disappearance of grasslands due to increased crop cultivation and afforestation. The Observatory will incorporate new technologies to assess grassland conservation in Uruguay and provide services to other regions through collaborations with sustainable agriculture groups. It aims to reward farmers protecting grasslands and promote 'Grassland Beef' certified through protocols ensuring environmental protection and wildlife conservation.
The ecosystem is breaking down, chris helwegChris Helweg
The ecosystem is the quintessential essence of life on our planet, and this crucial life system is showing signs of breaking down. It is likely a more pressing problem than climate change. Time will tell but time is short.
The ecosystem consists of all living organisms that interact with nonliving components like air, water, and soil contained within the biosphere, which extends from the bottom of the oceans to the top of the mountains. Although unannounced by authorities or professional orgs, it is already becoming evident that the ecosystem is breaking down. Alas, it’s our only ecosystem.

Observations by interested individuals help us better understand local impacts of climate change. Science researchers work with volunteers through citizen science projects to track changes in annual plant blooming, frog calling, bird ranges, and other natural phenomena. This version opens with an example from the North East United States. A similar version is available highlighting the US Southwest.
The document discusses several topics:

Climate Change, Resource Scarcity and Conflictijtsrd
Natural resource scarcity and global climate change may alter the risk of violent conflict in the future. Resource scarcity to meet basic needs such as food and land and water can be worsened by governmental ineffectiveness, and vulnerability of populations, ecosystems, economies, and institutions can outweigh the magnitude of climate or scarcity impacts themselves. Resource availability must be seen not as a stand alone issue, but rather in the context of the overall political economy landscape. Policymakers can benefit from the use of surveillance, early warning systems, and risk anticipation to plan for coming natural disasters and associated scarcity. Development of resilience can offer valuable adaptation and risk reduction methodologies while international action needs to focus on improving cooperation and resilience of international markets through multilateral trade rules or stockpiling of key commodities. Too often, the natural environment is directly attacked or damaged by warfare. Attacks can lead to water, soil and land contamination, or release pollutants into the air. Explosive remnants of war can contaminate soil and water sources, and harm wildlife. Such environmental degradation reduces peoples resilience and ability to adapt to climate change. The indirect effects of conflict can also result in further environmental degradation, for example authorities are less able to manage and protect the environment large scale displacement places strain on resources natural resources can be exploited to sustain war economies. In Fao, south of Basra, Iraq, people blame their water and farming problems on the felling of date palms for military purposes during the Iran Iraq war. Conflict can also contribute to climate change. For example, the destruction of large areas of forest, or damage to infrastructure such as oil installations or big industrial facilities, can have detrimental climate consequences, including the release of large volumes of greenhouse gases into the air.

The main purpose of this paper is to draw the nexus between environment and conflict with the concept of redefining security. This paper is aimed to answer the question whether environmental degradation or environment as a broad concept can lead to a conflict directly, if it can do so then how this will be the central question of this Paper. To do so, some relevant case studies will be framed to show the nexus between environment and conflict. Finally, there will be concluding remarks which will draw the critical perspective behind Environmental Conflict. Fatema-Tuj-Juhra "Environmental Conflict: Myth or Reality?"

During the semester you should record environmental events weather .docxkanepbyrne80830
During the semester you should record environmental events: weather events (heavy rain, drought, winds, freezes), earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods and coastal inundation, tsunami events (seismic waves), biodiversity issues and species extinctions, landslides, record icebergs, Antarctic ice-shelf disintegration, stratospheric ozone updates, air pollution occurrences, or other significant events related to the physical elements of the environment.
Your event log must include at least twelve events. Your log must include the date the event happened, the source from which you found the information, the type of event it is, and a brief paragraph about the event. Your list of events must be typed and put in chronological order.
You can use print media (newspapers, magazines, newsletters) or the internet as a source of information for learning about the latest occurrences. If you choose to use internet sources they
must
be legitimate news sources, not somebody’s blog.
The purpose of this exercise to show you how much of physical geography is actually occurring out there in the “real world”. Only record events that occurred this year – do not record events that happened in prior years.

San Pedro is one of the busiest ports in the United States. Environmental justice activists are gaining influence, taking on the San Pedro Bay ports over contamination of the neighborhoods along transportation corridors. Soot and nitrogen oxides from ships, trains, and trucks are linked to asthma, cancer, and heart disease. Last year, 5,339 ships docked at the two ports. The new rules are forcing ships to switch to low-sulfur fuel within 24 miles of the coast and to plug into electrical outlets while they are docked. The ports pledge to cut pollution by 45% by 2012.

Rhetorical Analysis of Craig Welch’s article,
“How Amazon forest loss may affect water—and climate—far away.”
The writer of the article, Craig Welch, is a journalist who covers natural and environmental resources, putting much emphasis on oceans and climate change. There have been changes happening in Amazon forest in Brazil for over 30 years as reported by the journal Global Change Biology. More drought-resistant plant species have appeared in the forest which suggests that the forest is preparing itself for change in the climate. The article is addressing the Brazilians, especially their leaders, intending to persuade them that their acts of deforestation do not only have an impact in their country but also far beyond the country. The purpose of the article is to appeal to the Brazilian leaders to consider conserving the Amazon rather than destroying it due to its importance in environmental conservation. Using previous studies as evidence, Craig Welch tries to demonstrate to the Brazilian leaders and the population in general on how the destruction of the Amazon could affect them and other countries in terms of climate and availability of water. Using a persuasive tone, Craig Welch implores the readers to conserve the water tower for the sake of climate change. He feels that without proper conservation of the tower, climate change will lead to more devastating consequences that will see people losing their lives in years to come. The article is persuasive enough to his audience based on the language used in the article and his accolades.
Craig Welch is a well-known journalist who writes for National Geographic about the environment. He uses his experience and knowledge on matters that are related to the environment to persuade the audience on the credibility of his writings. He won the 2015 Pulitzer Prize and his coverage of the deadliest landslide in the United States of America history. On top of that, he has also won other awards in journalism from the Overseas Press Club, the Society of Environmental Journalists and the National Academy of Sciences on top of being a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University. His accolades play a significant role in persuading the audience on the credibility of his information about the Amazon forest. Having travelled and repeated from all the seven continents in the world, he has the necessary knowledge and experience to know the consequences of destroying the Amazon forest, which the indigenous people might not be aware of.
The author uses fear to appeal to the emotions of his audience. In the article, the writer says that experts in the matters related to the environment have warned that continuous destruction of the Amazon forest could lead to loss of moisture which shall eventually lead to the drying out of the forest ("How Amazon Forest Loss May Affect Water ‘and Climate ‘far Away"). This phenomenon is likely to lead to the reduction of rainfall ...
The document discusses the melting of glaciers due to global warming and the problems that this causes. Glaciers around the world, including the large ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland, have been shrinking and retreating in recent decades. This melting is accelerated by rising global temperatures. The shrinking of glaciers threatens water supplies and will displace millions of people as sea levels rise. Scientists use various techniques like satellite observations, aerial surveys, and satellite gravimetry to measure changes in glacier mass and confirm that ice loss is increasing over the long term.
The Amazon rainforest fires of 2019 saw a significant increase in fires occurring across Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Peru during the dry season due to human activities like farming and mining. This led to international concern as the Amazon plays a key role in mitigating climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide. Fighting the fires effectively requires greater infrastructure and integration between different groups, as the existing system is inadequate to prevent and control the large number of fires.
The document summarizes the key findings of a report published in The Lancet medical journal on the health impacts of climate change on children worldwide. The report found that failing to limit global temperature rise to under 2 degrees Celsius as outlined in the Paris Agreement would lead to increased health problems for children from infectious diseases, air pollution, heat, and malnutrition. Children are especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change due to their developing bodies and lungs. Without action to reduce emissions, air pollution and wildfires will increase, worsening health problems. The report aims to highlight the huge costs of climate change on children's health and well-being in an effort to spur stronger climate action.
Climate change is argued to be linked to increased natural disasters like hurricanes. Experts agree that global warming has increased atmospheric temperatures and storm intensities. The document discusses definitions of climate change and natural disasters. It also provides tips for preparing for different types of natural disasters like hurricanes, winter storms, and thunderstorms by having emergency supplies.
1. Andrew Revkin discusses the changing landscape of environmental journalism as both media and the environment undergo rapid change.
2. Specialized science journalists now make up a shrinking portion of growing media, threatening to reduce public understanding of science and the planet. However, new models like blogging and social media allow for more collaborative and networked reporting.
3. Emerging forms of online media like videos, graphics and hashtags provide opportunities for scientists, universities and agencies to directly communicate with the public about important issues like climate change.

Global Warming Delusions
By DANIEL B. BOTKIN
Global warming doesn't matter except to the extent that it will affect life -- ours and that of all living things on Earth. And contrary to the latest news, the evidence that global warming will have serious effects on life is thin. Most evidence suggests the contrary.
Kilimanjaro's shrinking ice cap is not directly related to global warming.
Case in point: This year's United Nations report on climate change and other documents say that 20%-30% of plant and animal species will be threatened with extinction in this century due to global warming -- a truly terrifying thought. Yet, during the past 2.5 million years, a period that scientists now know experienced climatic changes as rapid and as warm as modern climatological models suggest will happen to us, almost none of the millions of species on Earth went extinct. The exceptions were about 20 species of large mammals (the famous megafauna of the last ice age -- saber-tooth tigers, hairy mammoths and the like), which went extinct about 10,000 to 5,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age, and many dominant trees and shrubs of northwestern Europe. But elsewhere, including North America, few plant species went extinct, and few mammals.
We're also warned that tropical diseases are going to spread, and that we can expect malaria and encephalitis epidemics. But scientific papers by Prof. Sarah Randolph of Oxford University show that temperature changes do not correlate well with changes in the distribution or frequency of these diseases; warming has not broadened their distribution and is highly unlikely to do so in the future, global warming or not.
The key point here is that living things respond to many factors in addition to temperature and rainfall. In most cases, however, climate-modeling-based forecasts look primarily at temperature alone, or temperature and precipitation only. You might ask, "Isn't this enough to forecast changes in the distribution of species?" Ask a mockingbird. The New York Times recently published an answer to a query about why mockingbirds were becoming common in Manhattan. The expert answer was: food -- an exotic plant species that mockingbirds like to eat had spread to New York City. It was this, not temperature or rainfall, the expert said, that caused the change in mockingbird geography.
You might think I must be one of those know-nothing naysayers who believes global warming is a liberal plot. On the contrary, I am a biologist and ecologist who has worked on global warming, and been concerned about its effects, since 1968. I've developed the computer model of forest growth that has been used widely to forecast possible effects of global warming on life -- I've used the model for that purpose myself, and to forecast likely effects on specific endangered species.
I'm not a naysayer. I'm a scientist who believes in the scientific method and in what facts tell us. I have worked for 40 years to try to improve our enviro ...

The ecosystem is breaking down, chris helwegChris Helweg
The ecosystem is the quintessential essence of life on our planet, and this crucial life system is showing signs of breaking down. It is likely a more pressing problem than climate change. Time will tell but time is short.
The ecosystem consists of all living organisms that interact with nonliving components like air, water, and soil contained within the biosphere, which extends from the bottom of the oceans to the top of the mountains. Although unannounced by authorities or professional orgs, it is already becoming evident that the ecosystem is breaking down. Alas, it’s our only ecosystem.

Assess Perspective and Knowledge of Healthcare Providers Towards Elehealth in...ijtsrd
Background and Objective Telehealth has become a well known tool for the delivery of health care in Saudi Arabia, and the perspective and knowledge of healthcare providers are influential in the implementation, adoption and advancement of the method. This systematic review was conducted to examine the current literature base regarding telehealth and the related healthcare professional perspective and knowledge in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods This systematic review was conducted by searching 7 databases including, MEDLINE, CINHAL, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, PsycINFO, and ProQuest Central. Studies on healthcare practitioners telehealth knowledge and perspectives published in English in Saudi Arabia from 2000 to 2023 were included. Boland directed this comprehensive review. The researchers examined each connected study using the AXIS tool, which evaluates cross sectional systematic reviews. Narrative synthesis was used to summarise and convey the data. Results Out of 1840 search results, 10 studies were included. Positive outlook and limited knowledge among providers were seen across trials. Healthcare professionals like telehealth for its ability to improve quality, access, and delivery, save time and money, and be successful. Age, gender, occupation, and work experience also affect health workers knowledge. In Saudi Arabia, healthcare professionals face inadequate expert assistance, patient privacy, internet connection concerns, lack of training courses, lack of telehealth understanding, and high costs while performing telemedicine. Conclusions Healthcare practitioners telehealth perceptions and knowledge were examined in this systematic study. Its collection of concerned experts different personal attitudes and expertise would help enhance telehealths implementation in Saudi Arabia, develop its healthcare delivery alternative, and eliminate frequent problems.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

Comparative Analysis of Total Corporate Disclosure of Selected IT Companies o...ijtsrd
Disclosure is a process through which a business enterprise communicates with external parties. A corporate disclosure is communication of financial and non financial information of the activities of a business enterprise to the interested entities. Corporate disclosure is done through publishing annual reports. So corporate disclosure through annual reports plays a vital role in the life of all the companies and provides valuable information to investors. The basic objectives of corporate disclosure is to give a true and fair view of companies to the parties related either directly or indirectly like owner, government, creditors, shareholders etc. in the companies act, provisions have been made about mandatory and voluntary disclosure. The IT sector in India is rapidly growing, the trend to invest in the IT sector is rising and employment opportunities in IT sectors are also increasing. Therefore the IT sector is expected to have fair, full and adequate disclosure of all information. Unfair and incomplete disclosure may adversely affect the entire economy. A research study on disclosure practices of IT companies could play an important role in this regard. Hence, the present research study has been done to study and review comparative analysis of total corporate disclosure of selected IT companies of India and to put forward overall findings and suggestions with a view to increase disclosure score of these companies. The researcher hopes that the present research study will be helpful to all selected Companies for improving level of corporate disclosure through annual reports as well as the government, creditors, investors, all business organizations and upcoming researcher for comparative analyses of level of corporate disclosure with special reference to selected IT companies.

“One Language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way” Frank Smith English as a foreign language or as a second language has been ruling in India since the period of Lord Macaulay. But the question is how much we teach or learn English properly in our culture. Is there any scope to use English as a language rather than a subject How much we learn or teach English without any interference of mother language specially in the classroom teaching learning scenario in West Bengal By considering all these issues the researcher has attempted in this article to focus on the effective teaching learning process comparing to other traditional strategies in the field of English curriculum at the secondary level to investigate whether they fulfill the present teaching learning requirements or not by examining the validity of the present curriculum of English. The purpose of this study is to focus on the effectiveness of the systematic, scientific, sequential and logical transaction of the course between the teachers and the learners in the perspective of the 5Es programme that is engage, explore, explain, extend and evaluate.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

“Amazon Rainforest burning fast, Brazil’s president
blames NGO’S”
As the headlines of the paper The Indian Express reads, it
presents a picture of the ‘Amazon burnt by the loggers and
farmers in Iranduba, Amazon’s state, Brazil’ in The World
section of the article.
The analytical figures of the comparison of the fire in
forest in 2018 with 2019 are presented, as stated by The
National Institute for Space Research which monitors that
it had detected 39,194 fires in 2019, which is a direct
increase of 77% from the preceding year.
The blazes are so large and widespread that smoke has
wafted thousands of miles away to the Atlantic Coast and
Sao Paulo, the country’s most populous city, including
other states also like Rondonia and Acre. According to
their sources, on Wednesday, Brazil’s far-right president,
Jair Bolsonaro, accused non-governmental organisations
of setting the fire in the rainforest after the government
pulled their funding, although he presented no evidence of
the same. Further he added, government was working to
control the blazes. Also, deforestation of the amazon has
increased rapidly since Bolsonaro, who was appointed in
October and took office in January and his government cut
back on efforts to confront illegal activity in the rainforest.
There is a dual aspect seen here in this paper,
1. Of the official figures of fires and the areas damaged
by it-
Regarding the figures and data, it is also one of the data
that 2019 is not the worst year in the recent history. Brazil
experienced more fire activity in the 2000’s –with 2005
seeing more than 1, 42, 000 fires in the first 8 months of
the year. The other countries in the amazon basin, like
Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru, etc. have also seen a high number
of fires this year, upto an area spanning over 7.4 m sqkm.
But it is particularly the North of Brazil that has been
devastatingly affected.
2. The political stance against the Brazilian president Jair
Bolsonaro. Why is he criticized?
He has been on neglecting the global climate change fight,
thus endangering the rainforest. He rolled into office in
January 2019, with a number of promises, including
restoring the country’s economy by finding other uses for
amazon. Environmentalists and researchers blame
Bolsanaro’s Pro-business leadership for emboldening
farmers to cut away more amazon land for ranching.
Further, he fired the head of the agency, INPE (National
Institute for Space Research in Brazil) director Ricardo
Galvao, which claims the research yielding the result of
88% increase in deforestation in the forest in the month of
June, to be inaccurate and that it was hurting Brazil’s
reputation.
The Editorial section of paper dated 23rd August, 2019,
penned by Neha Banka becomes helpful in providing
significant insight into the matter. It states why the man-
made fires in the world’s largest rainforest brings in focus
President’s policies and what impact can it have on the
environment? It is wholly put up in question-answer
format, wherein the commonly discussed issues are
ignored rather paid little importance, and add-on
information is presented. Like how the fires start? It was
due to local farmers, who had set fire in the BR-163 area of
the forest, a highway that runs through the heart of the
rainforest, for the sake of drawing the attention of
government. It becomes a cause of concern as it disturbs
the delicate rain balance cycle too, and amazon forest has
the ability to produce at least half of the rain it receives.
One of the striking resemblances between the two-
editorial and article, is that of environmental policies,
former concerning with both past and current and the
latter only with the contemporary. It brings to our
knowledge that back than in 1965 the land available for
farming was only up to 20%. Since 1960’s, Amazon forest
has been constantly exploited because of cattle-ranching,
logging, power-projects, mining and farming. The short-
term economic interests take precedence over
environmental concerns for Brazilian government.
In response to this, other countries have started to take
notice, and environmental groups have not also shied
away from firing back at Bolsonaro. But he has mostly
resisted the criticism, and suggested that fires was merely
the typical time of the year for ‘quiemada’ (time when
farmers usually clear land).
According to the Times of India,
“Macron sparks G7 fight over Amazon fires”
Emmanuel Macron, French president, said group of seven
leaders gathering in France’s Biarritz must tackle the fires
in the Amazon, establishing the Summit’s first flash point,
which would be the topic of discussion. In response to
Macron’s tweet-
“Our house is on fire. Literally. The Amazon, the lung of
our planet, which produces 20% of our oxygen, is
burning”; Bolsonaro responds with another tweet- “I
regret that President Macron is seeking to use the internal
matters of Brazil and other Amazon countries for political
gain”.
The paper states the history for difference of opinions
among 2 leaders, as in 1980’s; Francois Miterrand
provoked outrage in South America when he suggested
Brazil’s rainforest was the heritage of all humans. Brazil’s
concern about its sovereignty over the Amazon was a
turning point in Environmental politics ahead of in 1992
Rio Environmental Summit. It also highlights the views of
Canada’s justice Trudeau and Germany’s Angela Merkel, as
opposed to Bolsonaro. UK PM Boris Johnson is also
showing his concern about the international crisis and
would use the G7 to call for a ‘renewed focus on protecting
nature and tackling climate change’.
In addition to this , an another issue is presented stating
that celebrities unwittingly spread misinformation on the
issue, like Madonna, Leonardo Dicaprio and Emmanuel
Macron, by circulating news and images that are years old
or taken in other parts of the world. The photo used by the
French leader showed that it was taken by the American
photographer Loren Mclntyre, who died in 2003, which

means image must be atleast 16 years old. Dicaprio shared
2 pictures, one being similar to Macron and another shot
in Peru in 2016. Cristiano Ronaldo shared a picture shot
on March 29, 2018 by Lauro Alves, from the Brazilian
agency RBS. And same goes with even Madonna.
The piece of writing in the TOI clearly presents much more
than fires, but rather the flames of political history and
environmental politics which are formed up between
countries, especially France and Brazil. Also, the
discussion regarding unfaithful role played by the
celebrities and people who are influential is drawn
attention to.
Due to the constant criticism of the president, the other
policies of Brazil were also in danger, where Irish PM Leo
Vardakar denied for free trade government as Brazil does
not honour its environmental commitments. In their
defence, Onyx Lorenzoni, the Brazilian president’s chief of
staff said, “There is deforestation in Brazil, yes; but bot at
the rate that they say”
He had earlier accused European countries of exaggerating
and wrongly glorifying environmental problems in Brazil
to disrupt its commercial interest.
As a result of G7 meeting, a help of $20 million had been
offered to president Bolsonaro, which he lately accepted.
Due to the threats imposed on him, he found it urging to
curb the flaming issue and took steps to cool down the
fire; two C-130 Hercules aircraft carrying thousands of
litres of water began extinguishing fires devouring chunks
of the world’s largest rainforest. More than 43,000 troops
have been made available to combat fires.
It was on Friday (27th August) that Bolsonaro changed his
tune, and he vowed a ‘zero tolerance’ approach to the
criminal activities in the forest and promised strong action
to control the blaze. This directly lead to a question, that
the fires in the forest were intentional or naturally?
According to Amazon Environmental Research Institute-
‘The recent increase in the number of fires in the Amazon
is directly related to international deforestation and not
the result of an extremely dry season’
When the trees are cut or burned, the carbon- dioxide is
released in the atmosphere as a result of which the
capacity of rainforest to absorb carbon is reduced. The
emission of 228 megatons’ of carbon-dioxide took so far as
in this year, which is highest since 2010, due to the fires.
Forest fires are common in the Amazon during the dry
season, which runs from July to October; they can be
caused both by natural as well as man-made factors. But
the fact cannot be denied that this year most fires are
believed to have been started by farmers and loggers
clearing the land for crops and grazing, as they cut the
tress, leave the woods to dry and later put fire to it, so that
the ashes can fertilise the soil.
In support to this argument, Doughlas Mortan, head of the
Biospheric Sciences Laboratory at NASA’S Goddard Flight
Centre says that “the timing and location of the fires were
more consistent with land clearing than with regional
drought”.
As and according to regional newspaper Sandesh dated
23rd August, 2019-
“The lungs of Earth- Amazon forest in fires”
Along with the data of comparisons, the regions affected,
the blame-game of Bolsonaro and Macron, a comparative
detailed analysis of the parts of world with highest forest
area is given, which is without doubt topped by Brazil,
with an area of 56.10% out of total land area consisting of
lush green forest. This establishes a point that why this
56% of land is important to the humanity, to the nature in
general as well as equally beneficial to animals.
An environmental and purely concerning approach
regarding the nature preservation has been echoed from
the article, as it highlights the various facts about Amazon
forest, how it is unique as well as one of the heritage to
humanity, which has to be taken care off by humans.
The heart-wrenching pictures of animals who have been a
victim of the inflammable flames are also discussed over
as a crucial and important matter, which was not even
paid a tinge of attention in another article/s.
Also, one significant information, not available elsewhere
in previous newspapers, is of the mentioning of the
reasons and major causes behind the blazes, which has
been summed up as: Deforestation, cutting down
protection of an area deemed crucial in combating climate
change and the illegal mining activities carried out in the
Amazon basin.
This comparative analysis marks a clear difference
between the national and regional newspaper about
looking at a particular issue. On one side where the
national press agencies seemingly tasks upon to gather the
political, cultural , historical politics issue ; on the other
hand the regional newspaper buckles upon to rather dive
in the causes of happening of the event, its consequences
on the surface level and the destruction caused.
CONCLUSION:
Based on this, it can be summed up that there is certain
information which is common, significant and evident in
all 3 newspapers, for example: the data of increase in fire.
But the digging out of the reasons and the ways of finding
it out differs, as somewhere the political assaults and
strategies are in fault. Whereas on the other hand the
ground level environmental reasons are in the spotlight.
Though, certain facts regarding the issue cannot be denied,
which are hard core realities, one of them being fire was
not natural, also in direct or indirect way Bolsonaro and
his anti-environmentalist strategies were also one of the
cause of the failure of preservation of mother Earth. The
fires may be extinguished, but the fire set among the
hearts of people, especially preservators is yet burning
sparklingly.
