Explain how each of high, medium, and low projections on world’s population would affect the global community and provide specific examples

Projecting the World Population

No one knows what the world’s population will be in the future, but the United Nations gives three projections: high, medium, and low. Explain how each of these projections would affect the global community and provide specific examples. Bear in mind that we’re interested in the GLOBAL, not LOCAL dimensions of this problem

Discussion 2:

Slowing Down Global Warming

Reputable scientific studies continue to show that the earth is warming at an unsustainable rate because of a rise in the release of carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitrous oxide (N₂O), and methane (CH₄) gases. How would the continued increase of these gases affect day-to-day living across the globe?

Discussion 3:
