Title A
It is generally accepted that global warming is taking place and experts believe it is the biggest cause of change in the planet. Describe the evidence for global warming and discuss the effects in order to consider three solutions to this problem. Evaluate the solutions you offer in terms of probability and effectiveness

There has been an increase in the weather temperature in the last few years. This is referred to by global warming. Global warming is a term that has been in use more often especially in the last few decades because of the rise in the number of problems …show more content…
El-Sharkawy (2014) suggests that the “Earth’s climate has experienced notable changes during the past 50–70 years when global surface temperature has risen by 0.8°C during the 20th century”. It is also suggested that the last decade was the warmest decade in the record of weather temperature in history. There are many causes that lead to global warming. Global warming occurs when carbon dioxide (CO2) and other pollutants and greenhouse gasses are produced in the air due to human burning of fossil fuels, food wastage and other human made activities. These gases receive sunlight and solar radiation that leads to increase in the weather temperature and contribute to global warming as a result (McMillan, 2016). According to El-Sharkawy (2014), there are many more causes of global warming apart from fossil fuel burning and food wastage which are deforestation especially in the humid tropics, poor land management and usage, and degradation of soil. Thus, it is evident that global warming situation is becoming worse and there are many causes for …show more content…
The first problem is that global warming is linked with climate change. Global warming has a negative impact on the climate condition. It is suggested that global warming can change a storm from a category 3 in classifications of its strength to a storm of a category 4 which can make it destructive and it can lead to human damages and losses. Scientists have noticed that since 1980s North Atlantic hurricanes frequencies have increased due to global warming and due to the increase in storms category 4 and 5 (McMillan, 2016). Raising sea level is another important problem that is related to global warming. Due to global warming, it is claimed that the Antarctica is losing around 134 billion metric tons of ice every year. This problem was detected in 2002 and it has been ongoing until the present. This problem causes sea levels to rise several meters, and impacted humans who live nearby the sea as well as animals who live in the Antarctica (Hansen, et al., 2016). The last important problem is in regarding animals’ extinction. There are many studies that referred to the rise of animal extinction due to the global warming. It is predicted that the Orange-spotted filefish in danger of extinction because of the raise in temperature. It is well known that Orange-spotted filefish is very sensitive to high temperature. In Japan, Orange-spotted filefish was extinct due to the increase in the ocean temperature in 1988 (Dell’Amore,

...On August 2, 2013 I rolled my ankle over a cement opening surrounding a planter; at that time, I did not know the struggle I would face for the next few years. That day I ruptured a ligament in my ankle, but that was not diagnosed until four doctors and 18 months later. I started at an ordinary doctor where I was told I sprained my ankle and I was put into an ankle brace. After realizing that the brace was not helping I was sent to my first ankle specialist where I was put into a medical boot and I was told that nothing was wrong with my ankle, that I just needed to be sent to pain management and that medication would take my pain away. The problem with that was that there was a problem within my ankle, not just pain. I was then sent to another specialist where I was placed into a cast for a few months. After realizing that none of this treatment was working, I had my first surgery where they went in and looked through my ankle and removed scar tissue. After that surgery, my doctor told me that something was wrong with my ankle, but that he could not detect the problem. I was, yet again, sent to another doctor. Each time I was sent to another specialist I kept getting more and more discouraged. I knew something was wrong, but I kept questioning why not even ankle specialists could tell me what was wrong. That all changed when I went to a new doctor in January, 2015. On my very first appointment, this new doctor, within 45 minutes, diagnosed me with a rupturing a ligament. Due...

A warrant is a document that is issued by a legal official allowing the police to make an arrest, search belongings, areas, or carry out some other action relating to the administration of justice. It is illegal to search without a warrant. A warrant needs to be signed by a judge to be authorized. If a warrant is not present, the search is not allowed. In order to get a warrant authorized, there needs to be a probable reason that a search is needed. The warrant must be signed only by judges or magistrates. There are many different types of warrants. For example, there are No- Knock Warrants; when the police is given permission to just open the door of a residence. Another type of warrant is a Knock- And- Announce rule where they must announce their presence after they knock. Creating a fake warrant is illegal and it is a crime to forge a judge’s signature. In order to get arrested for possession of drugs or something illegal, there has to be a warrant present if there was a search. Searches are only allowed with a warrant.
