Answer:Periods of Earth's history with extensive sea ice result in enhanced albedo
Explanation:
Some estimates put the first human settlements in the Amazon at 32,000 to 39,000 years ago. Since that time, Amazon people have developed lifestyles that are well integrated with the benefits and constraints of rainforests.
An estimated 7-10 million Amerindians (the term for American Indigenous peoples) lived in American rainforests, half of them in Brazil, at the time of European arrival. When Pizarro arrived in Peru, more land was under cultivation and more food was being produced in the Andean region than today.
Answer:
Green revolution, great increase in production of food grains (especially wheat and rice) that resulted in large part from the introduction into developing countries of new, high-yielding varieties, beginning in the mid-20th century. Its early dramatic successes were in Mexico and the Indian subcontinent. The new varieties require large amounts of chemical fertilizers and pesticides to produce their high yields, raising concerns about cost and potentially harmful environmental effects. Poor farmers, unable to afford the fertilizers and pesticides, have often reaped even lower yields with these grains than with the older strains, which were better adapted to local conditions and had some resistance to pests and diseases.

There are several factors that influence how each of us consumes energy. It is close to impossible to ask every person in the world, every family or even all countries to consume a specific amount of energy per day just for us to measure if everyone received an equal share. For me, energy consumption is evenly distributed if the supply meets the demand. So long as no country is suffering from darkness or there is no household without electricity, then energy is properly distributed.
