1) Why is the UK in the lead in the beginning? the Uk has entered the industrial revolution 2) Why does the USA surpass the UK when it does? We enter the industrial revolution and start bulding alot of our society while most of the Uk's is already built 3) Why the drop in CO2 production around 1929? world war. 4) When does China enter the picture? 1960 5) Despite the fact that there are far more people in China than in the USA, the data shows that the US population consumes much more CO2 -- why? USA is mostly urbanized becuase of the fact that they started during the idustrial revolution and thats what they fuel off of to survive. parts of the u.k. and china are already devoloped so they dont need industry. also the US has more money so they can buy and consume oils and gas. 6) Explain Trinidad and Tobago in the 1940s. alot of people left there but the industries didnt so there was more C02 emmisions per person 7) Explain Luxembourg. 8) Explain all of the tiny countries near the top. less people more c02 emmisions per person

an open global economy would be very well so you wouldn't have to keep changing currency anywhere you go which i believe might be a problem in parts of Eurasia because country's are so close to each other.

Energy security. not because of the climate change but because using less energy could help better our economies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_security
creating better jobs. the more jobs there are the less people there are without jobs. and because of all this technology even though a lot of us are being replaced by machines. there are going to have to be mechanics to fix the machines so that could open new job opportunity's.

the french presidents view on terrorism is that " we have no other choice then to fight the terrorists wherever then lie". he beleives that the u.s. and france are determined allies when it comes to terrorism. he also beleives that the terrorist's are "cowardly barbarians." he also quotes that he wants to work "hand in hand' with the united states at the G20" and that they would work on proposals on currencies and commodity prices.

1) What causes climate change? Greenhouse gases. water vapor and other various gases heating up in the atmoshpere 2) Is human activity contributing to climate change? yes but it is the same with every other animal. the only difference is that we have the brain power to create things like carbon dioxide and other gases that are sent into the air. every living thing breathe's. 3) Is the climate warming? yes, its only natural for it to do that. what we are doing is only speeding up the process my creating more gases 4) If global warming is real, why has the East Coast of the USA been hit with massive blizzards the last two years? because of "cold spots" surrounding places that build up heat bring in the heat therefore taking it away from other area's, which creates these "cold spot's"

the reason why there are so many names for soda pop in new mexico is because it's borders are the west side who uses the name "soda". the south side which uses the name "coke". and the north side which uses the word "pop". so because of all the different variety's that border the state its no wonder that soda is called so many different things in new mexico.

the sudden dip started at 9/11 when the twin towers where hit. not only did this affect the plane traffic for at least a week but it also tightened security, making more and more overseas travelers having to be checked out or not allowing them into the united states because of terrorism of the world trade center.
just by looking at the graph and at what date the graph suddenly drops i know that this is when the world trade center was hit. it explains how tragic the situation was and how defenseless most of the airports felt against terrorists. which then made them more skeptical about the race of a traveler and the race of a terrorist. this graph is an example of the first project we did in class.

interview
the person i interviewed is koen withag i met him through a couple of my friends he lives in the neatherlands
when did you start learning english?
When I start playing games etc
I learned enlish when I was really young

A little bit german
and a little bit french
Is english ur first language?
No
Dutch
sorry forgot that
Where do you live at the moment
The Netherlands
Europe
does english really help you that much or do you think you could live your life without knowing it?
Nooo, English is a rather big factor of my life
I often talk english with my friends here, and if I did not know english we would not be doing this would we
do you speak english with other people other then your friends on a regular basis?
Yep, but that is mostly on the internet eh
Sometimes I think I type more english then I speak Dutch
have you ever had a situation with a tourist or something whom couldnt speak english or dutch?
Alot of hand gestures and my basic german
He asked me where to find the local swimming pool
which is a few kilometers away
How long did it take to get the point across to him?
It took about 15-20 mins.
I think eventually he either got fed up, or understood me and he left
any other times? and is this a regular thing or something that happens once in a while or this is rare for you and or your area
We dont get alot of tourists here and most speak english
is speaking dutch more of a formal thing opposed to like speaking english? or are they just like languages and nothing more
Dutch is the main language here, nearly everyone speaks it

kenya
Kenya
I would be 10.3 times more likely to have aids
15-47 most percentage
7.7 chance to die while infant
Although I would have 1.5 times more babies
3.3 times greater chance of being unemployed
The unemployment rate is 40%
The life expectancy is 58.2 which is 19.42 less then united states
Would use 97.05 less electricity. Probably because kenya is a much smaller country with less people and less money
The kenyans have 96.55 less GDP/ less money the GDP of kenya is $1,600 while untied states is 46,400. So not only electricity but they also have 97.02% less oil. And 99% less healthcare which also probably adds to the 10,3 times more likely to get aids
