Global warming, which scientists prefer to call "climate change," is definitely an imminent threat (meaning that it is a threat right now). It's also a very serious long-term threat.

The most imminent threats of climate change include flooding and severe weather patterns. As more and more pollutants fill the atmosphere, they create a greenhouse effect, meaning that they trap heat in the atmosphere. This is causing the ice caps in the Arctic and Antarctic, as well as glaciers around the world, to melt much more rapidly than usual, causing serious flooding in coastal areas around the world.

Some scientists even ague that entire countries (like the Maldives, a country made entirely of islands), could be entirely underwater within the next 50 to 100 years. 

Other imminent threats include severe weather patterns. An sharp increase in blizzards, droughts, and tornadoes have all been attributed to climate change.

What features of government bond appeal most to you
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

<u><em>The United States federal government issues bonds to finance the ongoing operation of government services, to pay interest on existing debt and to undergo new projects. Taken as a whole, investors oftentimes refer to bonds issued by the U.S. federal government simply as "Treasuries." However, government bonds have a number of features that distinguish one type from another, and grouping them all together can be misleading.</em></u>

"first lie, then​ deny" would be consistent with which approach to social​ responsibility?
Jlenok [28]
There are various general approaches to social responsibilities and can be devided into four basic stances: Obstructionist, Defensive, Accommodative, and Proactive (Amanda, 2008).   “First lie, then deny” would be consistent with the Obstructionist stance approach. It is to hinder or get in the way of, or stop something. An organization which holds an obstructionist stance “tries to block and stop what is going on” and avoid corporate social responsibility (Steege, 2008, Slide 9). They do not make social responsibility an effort, instead making profits the most important aspect of its business. Obstructive businesses viewed as immoral by some people since they may pollute natural lands, abuse their employees or cheat customers.
