Romeo Severiano Professor Ike ENG 101 Summary “Bad Science” The article ”Bad Science” from Michael Pollan’s (2009) book In Defense Of Food proposes “…the American Paradox: the more we worry about nutrition‚ the less healthy we seem to become” (Pollan‚ inside leaf.). The way scientist study using three main methods exemplifies and creates so many problems with finding definitive results. When perhaps the diet diets we choose should take from time proven results and not unyielding scientific

The Importance of Keeping Our Environment Clean Introduction As you know‚ today’s population is increasing and everyday people are destroying the environment. Scientist predict that within the next 50 years or so‚ global warming will cause the earth to increase in temperature which will in turn cause the earth to have to experience more hurricanes‚ droughts and floods and many more climate changes. All of this though‚ could be avoided if we simply reduce the amount of air pollution‚ reuse and

Impact of Industrialization on Environment OVERVIEW Centuries ago‚ when there was no active expanding of large cities and industries‚ nature was able to overcome pollution and keep air fairly clean without outside help. The wind and rain in the form of natural rescuers scattered gases and washed away the dust. However‚ with increasing industrialization and urbanization‚ the nature’s system cannot cope with pollution and clean the environment naturally. In comparison with volcanoes‚ hurricanes‚
