To what extent is climate change a cause of a current conflict in the Middle East?"" Length 600-1000 words

History
1 answer:
Pavlova-9 [17]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

Global warming is the Middle East's greatest enemy. Records and facts displays that it will region or geographical area that climate change will hit the  hardest. Summer temperatures across the geographical area are expected to escalate with it being more than twice the global average. Prolonged heat waves, desertification, and droughts will take greater parts of the Middle East and North Africa thereby, making them uninhabitable . Areas where Middle Easterners will still have the opportunity to live in, climate change may result in an escalated violent competition or battle over diminishing resources. Even though some degree of global warming is unavoidable, governments in the region and their international partners have done little or nothing to integrate climate change to their strategies or to mitigate instability and conflict. In its stead, they get themselves ready for a Middle East in which global warming fuels unrest, conflict and turmoil, weakens state capacity, and provokes resource conflicts.

Using a clear and defined example of global warming’s damaging power, look no further than Syria. Climate change is the true and actual reason behind the generational drought that has permanently presided the ongoing civil war there. That famous drought has driven away all of Syria's rural farmers into urban cities like Damascus and Aleppo, exposing the populace for a concentrated, large-scale political unrest. From the year 2002 to 2010, the country’s total urban population increased by 50 percent with majority causes by a forced migration. Although climate change certainly did not compel Bashar Al-Assad to brutally crack down on his own people, it actually caused a confrontation that might not have happened. Climate-caused economic despair and forced migration worked to reinforce other salient conflict drivers including Assad’s “privatization” efforts and concentration of power that exaggerated inequality and severed the dictator’s connection to rural, recently migrated communities. As climate change caused rapid temperature increase, terrible food shortages, and economic pain  and recession everywhere, more Middle Eastern countries might tip over into bloodshed.

Climate-caused water shortages will be another source of conflict. When the Islamic State controlled large swathes of territory across Iraq and Syria, it wrested control of dams that provided drinking water, electricity, and irrigation to millions along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Ensuing clashes with Kurdish and Iraqi forces left Shiite holy cities like Karbala and Najaf without water. More than 23 million live in the river basin, and experts predict that, because of global warming, the Tigris and Euphrates will “disappear this century,” making conflict over what remains even more tempting if contested political control returns to the Fertile Crescent. State Capacity Evaporates Further, climate change will likely make Middle Eastern governments less capable of handling unrest. First, more frequent weather events will surely put a drag on resource delivery and create new emergency relief needs. In the Middle East where foreign assistance is often critical, donors may have to work double time to continue to fund stabilization and governance projects while also providing more humanitarian disaster aid.

Second, oil producers will have fewer resources as oil receipts contract amid the inevitable global clean energy transition that will accompany climate action. Take the fact that worsening climate change is already driving a global transition toward clean energy. In November 2018, even while pursuing close cooperation with the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), Russian President Vladimir Putin openly declared that “$70 suits us completely,” referring to an ideal oil price for his country. Unlike his Middle Eastern partners, Putin seems to acknowledge that OPEC oil will face market competition from renewables and US shale if it reaches too high a price.

1. Which of the following helped fuel economic growth by encouraging people to buy American goods? (1 point)
Nataly [62]
1. The correct answer here is the third option. 

One way to fuel your economy is to have people buy domestic products. After the Great Depression the US economy was in shambles and in order to revitalize it even just a little, the government used protective tariffs. When you impose taxes, that is tariffs the price of the goods they are placed on will increase. Thus the domestic products would be cheaper and thus would be bought more than imported, more expensive goods. 

2.The correct answer here is the first option.

A cartel is a group of firms, producers or individuals that, while on the surface independent, work together in order to increase their profits by manipulating the market by some restrictive practices like price fixing. On the other hand a monopoly is when a single company or an individual control the whole market and thus have complete freedom in setting the quality of  products and their prices. 

3. 
The correct answer here is the fourth option. 

For a long time the work hours and the activities of the people have been dictated by the time of the day and the amount of available sunlight. That all changed with the arrival of electricity and the invention of electric light sources. These have tremendously  increased the usable time of the day for people and created a revolution in the daily life of the people. 

4.The correct answer here would be the third option.

The Sherman Antitrust Law is a landmark statute and a law that represented a great win for the United States and its people as it was a law that limited the power of the large companies and was a step in right direction when it came to fighting monopolies and trusts. 

5.
The correct answer here is the first option. 

It was Samuel Gompers that was elected the first president of the American Federation of Labor. The American Federation of Labor was a labor organization that operated on the level of the whole state and which consisted mainly from the various craft unions. The group attracted many who were not satisfied with the Knights of Labor. 

6.The correct answer here is the first option.

The Haymarket Affair refers to a bombing that occurred during what originally started as a peaceful rally in support of 8 hour work day and workers rights. But unfortunately, someone threw dynamite at the police which who then reacted to disperse the crowd. This event served as a catalyst for the workers and the people of US to turn away from radicalism. 

7. The correct answer here is the third option.

It was during the 1880 and 1885 that a technological boom occurred. The more and more things were being rapidly invented and patented which resulted in the doubling of the number of patents granted during this period. This was a particularly eventful and fruitful period of the Second Industrial Revolution. 

8.The correct answer here is the first option. 

The ICC here refers to now defunct government regulatory agency whose primary purpose was to regulate the railroad operations. The ICC which stands for Interstate Commerce Commission was in 1887 by the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 and it was functioning until 1995 when its duties have been transfered to Surface Transportation Board<span>.

9.The correct answer here is again the first option.

It was not easy being a worker in 1800s. Firstly you had to work in unsanitary conditions and more importantly in unsafe condition as worker safety was not deemed to important. You had to work long hours usually from 10-16 hours a day and you did that for a small, pitiful wage. 

10.The correct answer here is the last option.

Among the presented organizations it was the Knights of Labor that were founded first as they were founded in December 1869. The second organization founded was American Federation of Labor in 1886 mainly from the people who were not satisfied with the work of Knights of Labor.

O "novo tipo de colonialismo", mencionado no texto, tem, entre suas características
DENIUS [597]

The new colonialism differs from the original colonialism, it tends to be mostly revolving around the economy. In the new colonialism, the more powerful nations tend to use their corporations to set them in places where they can produce with much less expenditure. They use loans to make the nations dependent on them, and also to provide them with certain things if they are not able to pay on time. They use the natural resources of the less powerful nations, manufacture them and sell them for their own profit. In general, the methods are to manage to gain economic control of a nation, and then use that in their own advantage and totally exploit the nation for their own benefit.
