In the atmosphere, these sulfur dioxide molecules will react with water vapor leading to the formation of sulfuric acid, which is then spread all over the world through winds. The sulfuric acid formed in the atmosphere can significantly affect the amount of solar radiation entering the Earth’s surface and thereby the ...

A number of developing countries have sold agricultural and barren land to multinationals to establish their manufacturing ...

The anthropogenic climate change refers to actions produced by human activity that generate greenhouse gases, which contribute to the global warming (McMichael, 2003). Studies indicate that post-industrial rise in greenhouse gases is not an outcome of natural processes, but they are the result of human activity (“Anthropogenic Climate Change”). Human actions that are causing the current global warming issues were generated decades, even centuries ago and the current actions destined to mitigate the global warming by properly managing the human activities that generate greenhouse gas might start to show results in several decades or centuries (McMichael, 2003). On ...
