abolish hybrid cars and public transportation. Then they should implement a measure that makes it mandatory for every citizen to own and drive an SUV. This law would help with more pollution which will result in a faster process of melting the polar caps. Third, citizens found recycling would be fined. Recycling would become an obsolete term. Nobody wants to reuse plastic bottles it is so unsanitary. Let’s be grateful and praise global warming since it would contribute to our economic success and

Environmental Protection Agency, n.d.). It is up to each state to save itself the best way it sees fit in anticipation of the inevitable increase in heat waves, flash floods, heavy rains and the rising sea level. Everything from an energy curfew, cap and trade, incentives for running a low GHG business and having funding to research more efficient ways to do business and have a lesser impact. On the other side of the debate you have scientists that say global warming is a natural part of the evolutionary

1. How does a CAP differ from a single action potential? Single action potentials follow the "all or none" rule. That is, if a stimulus is strong enough to depolarize the membrane of the neuron to threshold, then an action potential will be fired. Each stimulus that reaches threshold will produce an action potential that is equal in magnitude to every other action potential for the neuron. Compound action potentials do not exhibit this property since they are a bundle of neurons
