It can occur as a result of increased emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities. •Why is this a problem?• Human health can be affected directly and indirectly by

climate change in part through extreme periods of heat and cold, storms, and climate-sensitive diseases such as malaria, and smog episodes.

• Animal habitats and food sources are in danger • Rising sea levels and melting glaciers

•What is China’s role?•Increased pollution due to lack of regulations in many Chinese industrial centers has decreased air and water quality. •China accounts for 20% of all greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere.

Global Issues & China

Definition- Movement in the late 1960s early 1970s to increase crop yields and avoid famines due to poor agricultural production. How? Technology was utilized to create better seeds that would increase the amount per harvest, be more resistant to disease, require less fertilizer and sunlight, and be able to adopt to various soil compositions. Why is this important? The worlds poorer nations and regions were suffering from poor crop harvests thus triggering famines and political instability. It was also viewed as a humanitarian issue.
