CO2 emissions set to reach new 40 billion ton record high in 2014 - 0 views
-
According to new research it's estimated that global carbon emissions will reach 40 billion tons 2014, a record high in human history. If carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere exceeds 3200 tons then the global temperature average will see a 2 degrees Celsius increase since the Industrial Revolution. The Earth hasn't actually seen any mind-blowing drastic changes in the environment because of climate change but this 2 degree threshold is where things start to change and it might actually be a big threat. carbon-dioxide in the air increases every year not at a linear rate but an exponential one. There's already ~2000 tons of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and its estimated that another 1200 tons will be emitted in the next 30 years. That's our generation. What can we do to prevent the rise in the global temperature average, and what is already set in stone?

What is Putin's end game in Syria? - BBC News - 0 views
-
With American policy stalled and arguments about the degree to which its bombing campaign has blunted Islamic State (IS), the president's envoy, retired General John Allen, and several other senior officials have decided to step down. Gen Allen was known to believe the US should harden its position on the overthrow of President Assad, and in the need for a safe zone in the north of Syria - instead the prospect seems to be slipping away of either happening.

UK reopens its Iran embassy as relations warm - CNN.com - 0 views

In this event, I believe that it ties into the theme of globalization, because Iran is working together with Britain, to amend some damage that had been done in the past. Iran overall is working with other countries on a nuclear deal with six other world powers, which would also strengthen the ties between these countries. Once Iran has secured these solid relations, the economy would flow better, possibly increasing the economical standpoint of each nation. Britain and Iran are now working together to stop other issues like the fight on terrorism, as it has become a rather serious problem. All in all, the relationships between these countries exemplify the theme of globalization, by the linked economy and the diminishing of borders between the two countries.
