Read the following quote from a 1914 government report: "While the facts before us show no proof or presumption of any depletion
of the fisheries on the banks frequented by American otter trawlers, it is possible that the seeds of damage already have been sown and their fruits may appear in the future or that the development of a wholly unregulated fishery eventually may result in injury where none now exists". (1914 Report of the U.S. Commissioner of Fisheries) What do you think the report was predicting? a. the future of fishing may be in jeopardy if it continues unregulatedb. the fishermen have depleted their resources and must wait for them to replenishc. U.S government should remain uninvolved and allow the fishermen to continue their workd. the fishing industry should join with farming to plant seeds and snow fruit
b) The future of fishing may be in jeopardy if it continues unregulated
Explanation:
It's saying that even though at that moment there wasn't any evidence of damage, future problems could result as a consecuence of the actions therein discussed. That the results of what was being done were not visible yet but that eventually "may result in injury where none now exists"
It's best to have most of the growth happen in developed countries. This for several reasons:
Developed countries as a whole have less population, so a population increase in these countries represents less people in absolute numbers.
Developed countries can invest in green energy more easily. For example, in Germany, 27 percent of energy comes from renewable sources, and in Norway, an oil-exporting country nonetheless, around 30% of cars are electric. They can do this because they are wealthier, and investing in renewable energy can be expensive.
Developed countries are not likely to grow at high rates anyway. Developed countries are aging fast, their population pyramids are bulky in the middle, and every year, less women are available for giving birth. Developed countries will not grow at high rates in the coming decades unless the receive massive immigration.
These spheres are closely connected. For example, many birds (biosphere) fly through the air (atmosphere), while water (hydrosphere) often flows through the soil (lithosphere). In fact, the spheres are so closely connected that a change in one sphere often results in a change in one or more of the other spheres.
