Abstract
The object of this essay is to persuade the reader that global warming and climate change warrant immediate action. The paper explores the ways in which global warming is related to energy use and environmental problems in urban areas. It discusses the growing health risks associated with urbanization as increased carbon dioxide levels contribute to the greenhouse effect. It also explores ways in which global warming effects the overall environmental state of the world we live in.

From the Paper
"Global warming currently merits immediate human action. A few preventative acts at present could offset inevitable disaster in the near future. But, we must not hesitate to act now. The rapid depletion of trees is currently being linked to the rising metropolitan and urban area temperatures. And, the rising temperatures result in an increased risk of smog which can be extremely detrimental to one's health. The greenhouse effect paralleled with massive human exploitation of fossil fuels has resulted in increased amounts of carbon dioxide being introduced into the atmosphere and environment. Higher amounts of carbon dioxide in the air can also lead to rising temperatures. And, there is reason to believe that rising temperatures could possibly increase the distribution of infectious diseases in humans. To close our eyes in the wake of this overwhelming evidence that seems to support theories of global warming, would be congruent to pulling the proverbial wool over our eyes and walking silently like lambs to the slaughter."

Abstract
Imagine a world without automobiles, trains, airplanes, water transportation such as ships, or pipelines. Without these five different modes of transportation life would be different. These modes of transportation make life enjoyable as they make it possible to have the quality of life that most people enjoy. The economy of many countries can be tracked with the methods of transportations determining how wealthy a country may be. "The fact that transportation represents 3.3 percent of our national income understates the importance of that sector to our economy and our well-being" (Moore 2001). The role of transportation over the years and the costs of transportation play a vital role in the lives of people today.

Abstract
In the last twenty years, the debate over global warming, deforestation and other conservation issues have become part of the national conscious. People are becoming more and more aware of the many destructive impacts of man on the global environment. Rising to meet this problem is a movement called Deep Ecology. Deep Ecology proposes a number of values aimed at influencing people to realize their connection to their environment and to do everything possible to live in global harmony.

Abstract
The central claim of "deep ecology" is that we need to correct an anthropocentric bias in our attitudes to the nonhuman world, and in particular to extend moral concern across time and across species. This paper will examine the benefits and the shortcomings of anthropocentrism within the framework of 'deep ecology'. As well, this paper will attempt to demonstrate both the value and some of the limitations of this framework with respect to the problem of anthropocentrism.

Abstract
This essay will critically examine the inner city and the suburb in modern North America, and explore the complex mythologies that obscure the reality of life in our urban settings today. It will be argued that while suburbs were originally defined by the need to escape the inner city, increasingly the inner cities of North America are today being defined by an escape from the suburbs with suburban values of security and private space redefining the public spaces of our inner cities. As will be seen, this process is a product of the complex demographic transformation of urban and suburban populations in terms of age, ethnicity, class, gender and race, occurring in the midst of a fundamental economic revolution in North America from an industrial to a post-industrial society.
