rising and the rate of temperature increase has nearly doubled in the last 50 years. Many species are experiencing changes in their patterns of growth and migration due to the changing conditions of the environment. Such changes often result in population reduction. The scientists who monitor the environment have discovered that many places around the world have broken their high temperature records for average annual surface temperature. Scientists have also discovered other global changes: glaciers

We can now offer a theoretical synthesis, and show how this synthesis can lead directly to the testing of specific hypotheses. That technology is a key element in all human affairs, and especially in sociocultural change, has long been central to anthropological thinking (Barnett, 1953; Foster, 1973; Steward, 1956; White, 1959). Yet, after several collections of case materials on social change (Spicer, 1952; Paul, 1955;

Geo/155 March 5, 2011 Katherine Ripley The discussion of world resource depletion has been pushed aside because of the increased public and political focus, which is mainly the depletion of fossil fuel energy with the possibility of terrible impact on world food production. The International Energy Agency (IEA) appears to have stated untruthfully, the information on world fossil fuel depletion, as a result of telling the truth about how world energy resources may have already, in relation to

is to harm nature itself. Thousands of animals have become extinct due to human abuse, either by directly killing them or destroying their habitat. for eg. sharks. Each year, humans kill more than 100 million sharks worldwide.Over the last 50 years, numbers of some shark species have dropped as much as 80% Sharks play a very important role in the oceans as they are at the top of the food chain. They keep populations of other fish healthy and in proper proportion by preying on old, sick, or
