Study Notes
Environmental Science and Climate Change
- Climate models predict a 2° to 6°C increase in global mean temperature by 2100, leading to decreases in glaciers and snowfields.
- Current trends in climate change are expected to have devastating environmental consequences.
Human Development Index (HDI)
- The HDI is a statistic used to compare quality of life in different places.
- Countries with low HDI values often struggle with poverty, hunger, and health problems.
Environmental Protection and Business
- Environmental protection has been proven to increase the number of available jobs.
- It improves a company's public image and saves money in the long run.
- Businesses are now willing to become 'green' because of these benefits.
