    Throughout this article, Sahoo and Schladow analyze and investigate the impact of climate change in Nevada, California's Lake Tahoe as a case study on effects of climte change on the the physical processes occurring within lakes " (Sahoo & Schladow, 2008). On a previous study during the period 1969-2002, the effect of global warming on Lake Tahoe was investigated and results showed that during that time, the lake became warmer and more stable (Sahoo & Schladow, 2008). In respect to the data that was collected, measures predicted that after 40 years the lake's temperature will remain stable (Sahoo & Schladow, 2008). However, Sahoo and Schlado claim that nowadays climate change plays a major role in changing the predicted data in respect to…

    The temperature of the earth is getting higher and higher, but there are some people still not to believe that the climate change and global warming are getting serious. The assessment of the impacts of global warming is also made more complex because global warming is not the only human induced environmental problem. (Maslin, 2004). The loss of soil and its impoverishment (through poor agricultural practice), the over-extraction of groundwater and the damage due to acid rain are examples of environmental degradations on local or regional scales which are having a substantial impact now. (Houghton, 1997)…

For a common man laws are a set of rules or regulations which they have to abide by in order to escape the imprisonment and fine imposed by the government. Knowing law is just not important only for the business class groups, lawyers, judges, victims, etc but for each and every existing human being whether whatever its status may be. “Every human has four endowments- self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom. The power to choose, to respond, to change.”…
