A. Using examples, distinguish between insider and outsider pressure groups. The main difference between an insider and an outsider pressure group is that insider groups have a direct link with the government whilst an outsider group do not. The reason why outsider groups do not get the government’s attention is because most outsider pressure groups use direct action. An example of an outsider group is Plane Stupid. This results to the insider pressure groups being able to get more done as they

radiation it can absorb. The carbon dioxide comes mainly from burning fossil fuels in power stations, which also causes acid rain. It is also created by living animals breathing, and is naturally converted by plants back to oxygen. However, deforestation is reducing the planet's carbon dioxide absoring capability. Nitrous oxide is a by-product of nylon production,

Survey: Would you choose an alternative? Survey: I asked 4 of my family members, 6 coworkers, and 5 fellow classmates whether, or not they would buy an alternative for a product they really like if it would help conserve tropical rainforest deforestation. Results: 7 said they would still keep buying the original product, 3 said they would try an alternative, but 5 did say they would try an alternative if it is at an affordable price. People From: Family Work School Decision Total:

create big problem of living on earth. The highly known and most basic cause of increasing the Earth’s temperature is continuous rise in the atmospheric carbon dioxide. Rise in the carbon dioxide level is the use fossil fuels like coal and oil, deforestation (cut down of plants) by the human beings on Earth. Decreasing number of the plants on the earth increases the level of carbon dioxide, as plants are the main source of the using carbon dioxide released by the human being (as a by-product of respiration)

urban development community also makes it harder to bring together members of the community, because the infrastructure is decentralized. * Deforestation As communities continue to expand without a well- prepared for the integration of residential areas, agriculture and business, buying and selling property plan will most likely lead to deforestation of the surrounding environment. To cut trees to clear building lots, soil often erodes. If construction zones are located near sources of water

Global Warming The atmosphere is something that is around us everyday, but do we really think about the changes that occur in it. It isn't that we just aren't paying attention, but more of the fact that it is hard to notice slight changes over long periods of time. Everyday gases are released into the air by all living material. The gases in the air are used for many important things. For example, hydrogen is released by volcanoes, which can give energy to the cell; photosynthesis has

increase or decrease the other mineral salts in the soil. 3. Leaching: This encourages the draining of mineral salts from the topsoil to subsoil thereby depriving plants of such nutrients. 4. Crop Removal: This may be in form of clean clearing, deforestation or cutting down of harvested crops which lead to loss of nutrients in the soil. 5. Oxidation and Reduction: This is a form of chemical reaction in which the electron(s) is or are either lost or gained thereby changing the state of the mineral

Realities of climate change Name Institution Climate is a measure of the average pattern of variation in temperature, atmospheric pressure, sunshine, wind precipitation, atmospheric particle and other meteorological variables in a given region over a particular long period of time. Climate differs from weather in that weather describes the atmospheric conditions of a certain region at a particular time while climate is the average atmospheric conditions of that region for a long period usually

Businesses only act in an ethical way because it looks good rather than because it is the right thing to do. To what extent do you agree with this statement?

Вступ The Greenhouse Effect The greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring process that aids in heating the Earth's surface and atmosphere. It results from the fact that certain atmospheric gases, such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane, are able to change the energy balance of the planet by absorbing longwave radiation emitted from the Earth's surface. Without the greenhouse effect life on this planet would probably not exist as the average temperature of the Earth would be a chilly -18°
