1. Summary of Book:
a. Reducing coastal risk on the East and Guft coast The increasing of hurricane and coastal storm along the East and Guft coasts in United State has been affecting the economy and the communication. The U.S National Research Council was created by National Academy of Science by 1916. The Council has played an important role in science and technology to deal with climate change impacts. The federal government and states have come up with so many solutions to reduce the consequences of climate change such as beach nourishment, restoration and increase the natural areas. The hurricane Sandy in 2012 and Katrina 2005 caused serious damage to people and properties. Due to the rising risk of hurricane and storm, they

The rate of migration and uneven of the economy has been increasing because of climate change. This will create the different of region and culture but also controversy and terrorists will take advantage of migration to put U.S security at risk of being attacked. An example of religious conflict and the spreading out of contagious diseases is the floods in Bangladesh have sent hundreds of thousands of refugees to India. In United State, hurricane Andrew in Florida (1992) destroyed the Home State Air Force Base and caused $26 billion damage cost. In 2006, another hurricane called Ivan ruined the Naval Air Station Pensacola. Climate change is not only a threat to human being, but it’s also a threat to the United State security. If the military bases get damaged by hurricanes, storms and the refugee crisis is getting more complicated, this will put our country in the risk of being attacked by

Chapter 7 focuses on climate as it relates to conflict. When we think of climate, we think of atmosphere, mood, or the overall feel of any given situation. The book describes climate as three different types of interdependence in a situation: promotive, competitive, and individualistic, all of which represent areas found in climate analyses. The climate or mood is what shapes conflict when we are interacting with others. It’s the main ingredient that causes people to act in the ways that are conducive to their environment.
Eert is a small, peaceful river valley that believes strongly in religion and takes pride in its culture. Citizens rely on their Tree God, Branchy, to grant them good harvests, hunts, and rain water. As long as citizens please Branchy with their annual sacrifices, they receive what they pray for. Citizens rely mostly on farming for their food, although hunting is common. The land is very fertile and is great for farming because of the flood that occurs once a year and the rain that certain areas of the island receives.
A harsh cold reality on climate change is exposed to an unbelieving world in Mike Pearl’s “Phoenix will be almost unlivable by 2050, thanks to climate change” article. Mike pearl is a journalist for Vice Magazine in 2017, a rocky year after the election of presidential candidate Donald J. Trump, in a less than stable political climate. As well as a less than stable living climate. According to Mike Pearl, temperatures in Phoenix, Arizona, may be unlivable by 2050 due to climate change. His article is more than effective, as it’s extremely terrifying as he stresses the importance of what this will mean with pathos, logos and ethos.
Russia also officially known as the Russian Federation is a federal state in Eurasia. And the ninth most populous, with over 146.6 million people at the end of March 2016.

Montreal, the home of hockey, is the best city to do for the 5 Themes of Geography. I mean it is Canada, who doesn’t like Canada. Like I mentioned before, the five themes go perfectly well with this city. Montreal is in the province of Quebec.
In the modern, globalized world, the studying of interconnections between cultures has been more necessary than ever. As an inquisitive and assertive student from a family of first-generation immigrants, I have developed a keen interest in applying myself to appreciate humanistic geography and cultures. As an excelling academic student, I strongly believe that my current qualifications, contextual interest, and mature perspective will justify my ambitions to succeed in the college-level course, AP Human Geography, as a highschool freshman. The skill sets that I possess and regularly hone will play a significant role in my success with AP Human Geography.

The frequency of Hurricanes are becoming more and more common, the intensity of the storms are getting stronger, and stronger faster. Scientists found that hurricanes, and other tropical weather events are becoming more common over the years, this proof shows from the 2000s-2010. As temperatures warm in the West of the United States, drought, and dry conditions become more common. Climate change is real because there is so much proof about it.
Second reason that cause hurricane is the global warming, you might didn 't know that the climate change can lead to the storm and another natural disaster. According to a research of George Tselioudis, a research scientist at NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) and Columbia University, global warming will increase and also decrease the temperature such as in the equator a temperature is hot and dry. On the other hand, temp in the pole
When large storms hit land with these increased sea levels it causes large storm surges that can destroy anything in its paths. If temperatures continue to rise other natural disasters could occur ("Global Warming Will Produce More Katrina-Like Storms"). A warmer wetter atmosphere could spawn more tropical storms and there will be floods in places that do not get much rainfall. Humans could prevent these problems if they were to cut down on the use of fossil fuels and use more renewable energy. Renewable energy consists of wind, solar, and lunar power.
Climate change could be life changing. If the Earth’s climate keeps changing, human lives could be in danger (What is Climate Change?). According to the Department of Ecology
Climate change is real. It is a very dangerous and poses a massive problem to the human population all over the world. Climate change, a long term change in the earth’s environment, has a devastating impact on all organisms and cycles, especially the atmosphere. The earth’s atmosphere has endured pollutants such as Co2 emissions from automobiles and manufacturing plants, and its deserves to rest. There is only one problem.
