The threat of global warming is very debatable but in my opinion yes, I think if we all cooperated we could stop or potentially slow it down. The burning of fossil fuels from factories and the cutting down of trees for example in the Amazon rain-forest they're losing water and several places are suffering from droughts. Over-fishing causing lesser fish and wildlife throughout the ocean. Since fish are a huge part of the diet it can cause dramatic changes in the food chain. Melting of icecaps from Greenland and Antarctica can cause dramatic sea level rises. Farming cheaper can cause problems as well. It's simply easier and less maintenance for farmers to do something that is cheaper than do something that takes longer but is better for the environment. Soon radiation will cause problems for wildlife. Global warming is such a broad topic I can talk about it all day. The only thing about the cooperation internationally is that it'd be so difficult because humans fear change.

Answer:

Interestingly, many French maps showed zero degrees in Paris for many years despite the International Meridian Conference’s outcomes in 1884. GMT was the universal reference standard – all other times being stated as so many hours ahead or behind it – but the French continued to treat Paris as the prime meridian until 1911. Even so, the French defined their civil time as Paris Mean Time minus 9 minutes and 21 seconds. In other words, this was the same time as GMT.

In 1972, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) replaced GMT as the world's time standard. France did not formally use UTC as a reference to its standard time zone (UTC+1) until August in 1978.

Standard time, in terms of time zones, was not established in United States law until the Act of March 19, 1918. The act also established daylight saving time in the nation. Daylight saving time was repealed in 1919, but standard time in time zones remained in law, with the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) having the authority over time zone boundaries.

Many countries started using hourly time zones by the late 1920s. Many nations today use standard time zones, but some places use 30 or 45 minute deviations from standard time. Some countries such as China use a single time zone even though their territory extends beyond the 15 degrees of longitude.

How do human activities directly contribute to landslides?

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Human activities directly contribute to landslides especially the kaingin system practiced by some farmers and the ruthless illegal logging for some loggers. These selfish practices harmed the nature causing soil erosion and worse landslides due to the absence of trees.
