The Earth has been warmer than it has been presently.
The Sun could be accountable for 69% of Global Warming.Carbon Dioxide (CO2) has an affect on global warming. All animals exhale CO2. How can humans be solely responsible.
We cannot pinpoint one source for global warming because we don't have a full understanding of what causes increasing tempertures.
Climate Temperature increases where happening way before cars and other solar damaging products were going on.
Most of the Earth's water comes from the oceans. Only 2.5% of the Earth's water is freshwater. Out of the freshwater 68.6% is glaciers and ice caps and 30.1% is groundwater. Out of the groundwater 20.1% is lakes and 73.1% is ice and snow. As you can see the water that we can drink is limited in percentage.
The Earth's Soil
Apparently the soil is great when it's near a lake or a river, for example the Nile in Egypt has great fertile soil, but how accessible is it? According to an article by Hamdi and Abdelhafez the the Egyptian soil is not that accessible because of the overpopulation of people.

What you can learn from Japan Say yes to soy "At least 40 percent of the Japanese population eats miso soup made from soybeans for breakfast every day," says Letha Hadady, a leading expert on Asian herbal medicine and the author of Feed Your Tiger. Studies show that these healthy women who eat soy at least once a week cut their risk of breast cancer by 50 percent. But some research suggests that processed soy may actually rev up cancer cells, so stocking your fridge with Tofurky won't cut it. Instead, stick to natural Japanese staples such as edamame, tofu, soy milk, and miso.
Trade coffee for tea The Italians have espresso, the Russians have vodka, and the Japanese have green tea. More than half the population drinks it every day, and experts believe that its high levels of catechins—a powerful disease-fighting antioxidant—can destroy abnormal cancer cells and lower cholesterol.

What you can learn from France Drink wine Champagne, Bordeaux, Burgundy—with a countryside that's practically synonymous with wine, it's no wonder the French pop the cork more often than we do. In fact, they sip a glass of wine daily, while the average American imbibes just one a week. Yet moderate drinkers (one glass per day for women) slash their risk of heart disease by up to 40 percent, according to the Harvard School of Public Health. More good news: A glass of red wine from southwestern France—specifically, Madiran—may have up to five times as many procyanidins (antioxidants that improve blood vessel function) as one from another country, thanks to the area's traditional production techniques, which allow grapes to ferment longer.
What you can learn from South Korea Eat more garlic No Korean meal is complete without kimchi— a side dish that's heavy on raw garlic. The secret to its heart-protecting power is an enzyme in the garlic that prevents cholesterol from sticking to artery walls. But it's released only when the cloves are finely chopped or crushed, and heating weakens its effects. Top fish, pasta, or veggies with chopped fresh garlic just before serving, or get kimchi in the supermarket or online at koamart.com.
