Abstract
This paper discusses the consequences of climate change in Antarctica. The essay is divided into three sections. The first section looks at the nature of Antarctica. The second section examines what global warming and climate change will do to Antarctica and the final section looks at the global consequences.

From the Paper
"Global warming and climate change are two closely connected environmental problems. Although global warming and climate change will affect the entire world, different areas will be altered in different ways. Also changes in one area can lead to changes in other areas. For this essay the consequences of global warming and climate change will be examined in detail. In order to examine these issues the essay will be divided into three sections. The first section will look at the geography, natural resources and ecological nature of Antarctica. The second section will examine the effects of global warming and climate change on Antarctica."

Abstract
This essay looks at the consequences of climate change in Antarctica. The causes of climate change are examined. The impacts of climate change on the environment of the Antarctic are analyzed. Furthermore, some impacts that would result from climate change in the Antarctic, but would have global consequences mainly as the result of global warming, are also examined.

From the Paper
"The Earth's climate is changing and there is more and more evidence of global warming. This essay looks at these climate changes and its consequences, focusing in particular on Antarctica, as it is a very sensitive region yet of vital importance to the overall global climate. The Earth's climate has always oscillated, but unlike previously climate change in the last decades, has mostly been due to human activity also outlined in the essay. The changes are particularly drastic in a fragile environment such as the Antarctic and Arctic."

Abstract
This research paper examines the Antarctic Treaty and what it has meant to the uninhabited continent. The paper goes over the current situation, as it has been outlined by the treaty, and examines how the United Nations is taking an active role in preserving the integrity of this region of the planet. A variety of issues that have arisen in Antarctica and what has been done to rectify them is examined as well as how tourism is affecting the environment and threatening the natural geography of the continent. In addition, the paper goes over the history of Antarctica and looks at how the continent was discovered and how the various land claims can into fruition.

From the Paper
"The United Nations eventually decided that a treaty was needed in order to assure that the region would not become a battlefield, as a variety of different countries had laid claim to different areas, some of which overlapped. Therefore, one of the most important parts of this treaty is that there shall be no military involvement in the area, even if it is just for testing or for practicing military operations. Also, since changes in climate have already caused pieces of the continent to break off and more are expected to follow, there will be a new value placed up the resources of Antarctica in the future. This is because Antarctica has more fresh water than anywhere else in the world. With the world's depleting water resources becoming a global issues, it is important for the United Nations to keep control of this area, in order to prevent any violence from erupting in the future as a result of these valuable resources."

Abstract
This paper focuses on Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun, explaining that it is more like Earth than any other body in our solar system. The paper notes that Mars has mountains and valleys, polar ice caps, and dry riverbeds; it has seasons, an atmosphere with clouds, winds and dust storms, and a solid rocky surface. Mars has a moderate climate with summertime temperatures at the Martian equator during the daytime are comparable to those of winter in Antarctica. Conversely,the paper asserts, Mars is about half as large earth, and it receives about half as much sunlight in intensity. Its thin atmosphere is comprised of about 95 percent carbon dioxide, and its two moons, Phobos and Deimos, and its many volcanoes seem extinct, and its riverbeds dry.

Abstract
This essay looks at a particular region of the world and identifies two environmental problems that severely impact that particular region. The causes as well as the consequences of the problems are covered. Furthermore, some ways in which the problems could be addressed are also looked at, as well as the solutions that have already been attempted. The paper looks at the problems encountered in the Antarctica.

From the Paper
"It is a very unique and sensitive region and the changes that take place there can potentially influence the overall global climate as well as the environment of the whole Earth. The two problems identified are global warming and the threatened biodiversity of the region. The impact of global warming in Antarctica would possible have far reaching consequences not only in Antarctica but also the entire world."

Abstract
This paper looks at how the Greenpeace movement has developed from its Canadian roots to its current international status, by effectively demonstrating their activities to the public via intense media coverage of their anti-nuclear, anti-sealing, and Antarctica campaigns. The author describes the formation of the Greenpeace mission by its founding members,and details how they were able to challenge governmental power and achieve enormous leverage by using the media to gain public support across the globe. The paper concludes that Greenpeace International's most powerful and influential role is educating the public, thereby raising each individual's personal responsibility in contributing to our planet's future.

From the Paper
"The preliminary formation phases of the Greenpeace organization was a product of the changes the country faced in public awareness of the environment and the revolution of human consciousness world wide after the Vietnam War. In December of 1941 the United States of America entered into World War II. Many people throughout the country were affected by the atomic bomb and the magnitude of the use of such nuclear weapons began to raise public awareness throughout the country. At this particular time campaigns concerned with the Vietnam War were heavily covered by the media since the issues were of great interest to the public. The energy and the ideas that originally formed Greenpeace reflected the post war reformation of human consciousness that sought to promote nuclear disarmament and world peace."

Abstract
This paper attempts to explain the sudden popularity of the "Endurance" expedition of Ernest Shackleton, 1914-1916, which assumed a renewed importance in Anglo-American culture in about 1995. The paper relates that this popularity seems to have sprung from the formation of the James Caird Society, a society named after the 21 foot boat in which Shackleton and a part of his crew made a desperate 800 mile voyage across Antarctic waters to effect the rescue of his shipmates who were stranded on a desolate island where rescue seemed beyond hope. The paper explains that through an astounding combination of luck, skill, and endurance, Shackleton was able to bring about the rescue without the loss of a single life and so he remains a hero for this feat.

From the Paper
"Why Ernest Shackleton enjoyed vogue of popularity during the period 1995-2003 is a bit of a mystery. Consider: The Burke Museum of Natural History at the University of Washington was one of the few museums to show "The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition," which ran from June 14-December 31, 2001. As part of the supporting materials, the museum published a bibliography which listed 21 books. Of these, seven were originally published before 1995, one in 1995 (a book on the mapping of Antarctica), and thirteen first appeared after 1995 ("Endurance Bibliography"). A search of the more comprehensive WorldCat database found..."
