The injuries just kept coming all day long—head injuries, people with multiple broken legs, people catatonic who couldn’t speak. Everybody is asking for medicine. You know, we don’t have basic—we don’t have Advil. We didn’t have gauze. We don’t have hydrogen peroxide. Like, it was one nurse and me, who happened to be a guest at this hotel because my wife is doing HIV work in the country. I happened to be there to help this nurse, but I have no medical training, and I just had to do whatever he explained to me to do.

This is very sad that there is not enough medicine there to help the injured. The other thing is that Mr. Jesse Hagopian was brave enough to stay and help out the victims, its sad yet one thing remains alive humanity, meaning to say people are selfless when helping people.

Ice age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views
-
There is evidence that greenhouse gas levels fell at the start of ice ages and rose during the retreat of the ice sheets, but it is difficult to establish cause and effect (see the notes above on the role of weathering). Greenhouse gas levels may also have been affected by other factors which have been proposed as causes of ice ages, such as the movement of continents and volcanism.
-
The greenhouse gases are rising, not falling. all ecosystems are falling for the eventual event that might occur.

Climate change - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views
-
It can be a change in the average weather or a change in the distribution of weather events around an average (for example, greater or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change may be limited to a specific region, or may occur across the whole Earth.
-
The earth is all we have, it is clear that earth is only place we have. This the only place to human race lives, as far as we know it. Once this goes there is no one other place.

The sun is the predominant source for energy input to the Earth. Both long- and short-term variations in solar intensity are known to affect global climate.
-
The sun is what the earth makes the earth warm and gives energy. Too much engery is bad.

Global warming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views
-
The most commonly discussed measure of global warming is the trend in globally averaged temperature near the Earth's surface.
-
This is impotant, many people do not know that the temperature of the earth is cahnging significantly.

An increase in global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern of precipitation, probably including expansion of subtropical deserts.[7] The continuing retreat of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice is expected, with warming being strongest in the Arctic. Other likely effects include increases in the intensity of extreme weather events, species extinctions, and changes in agricultural yields.
-
The temperature is affecting not only regular temperature but also changes in the agriculture facilities. It is merans that food industry prices as well as food companies will "sky rocket", because of temperature changes.

Political and public debate continues regarding climate change, and what actions (if any) to take in response. The available options are mitigation to reduce further emissions; adaptation to reduce the damage caused by warming; and, more speculatively, geoengineering to reverse global warming. Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
-
Politics is making the Climate Chnge issue, unimportant, I beleive that Govermnets are just "selling their image", so they would look good. There are many, many policies pacts that have been made in order to "control Clmiate Change/ Global Warming". When will there be a policy that actually help the meniviroment?
