ReplyDeleteCategory I, fuel.Variable 1 which includes:Oil Power, Fuel use and Fuel increase.

I also chose the first variable as it included oil. I think that oil plays a significant role in globalisation as it is used for the production of many synthetic materials like certain types of plastics and it is the main source of fuel for transport.

ReplyDeleteThe category that I have decided to choose is pollution.
ReplyDeleteThe four variables are:
1. Carbon Emissions in 2000
2. Carbon Emissions in 1980
3. Carbon Emissions Increases
4. Carbon Emissions Decreases
The reason why I have chosen these specific variables is because I want to look at the carbon emissions of the past in relation to the emissions of the present. I also want to see whether or not since the year 2000 if the carbon emissions have increased or decreased
Since Category W has been chosen, i have chosen the category and variables listed below:
ReplyDeleteH. Resources
-Rainfall
-Water Resources
-Ground Water
-Water use
Reason being, Water is an critically essential element for the survival of all life forms on Earth. There is importance in the management of water resources and the use of water as it affects those inhabiting the Earth.
