Climate change
Climate change refers to the long-term alteration of temperature and weather patterns on Earth caused by human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. The primary driver of climate change is the increase of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun, leading to a warming of the planet.

Why is the Arctic warming so much faster? New
The Arctic is warming at a faster rate than the rest of the planet due to a phenomenon known as Arctic amplification. This occurs because as the polar regions warm, ice and snow melt, exposing darker land and water surfaces that absorb more solar radiation, causing even more warming. Additionally, the loss of sea ice in the Arctic can also cause more warming by altering ocean currents and weather patterns. Greenhouse gases are the main driver of this warming, with the majority of the warming caused by carbon dioxide emissions from human activities.

World Without US
Sages meditated for Ages; the wise-men wrote millions of pages; kings and statesmen gave brilliant speeches—about joy and happiness, that has eluded the mankind in the known history. What a profound mystery! The pages of human history, daubed in bloodshed, very recently that of World War I & II and Nanking (China) ask the crying question. How to make this Planet Earth, heaven-like? The answer is simple and direct. Eyes full of understanding, the heart full of love and the life that refuses conflicts—enough. These alone are enough. Well, if peace is not possible for humanity, what is the alternative? Alan Weisman seems to have the answer.
