RUSSIA:

Russia is the largest country in the world. It's located in Europe. Russia has the world's largest mineral and energy resources. It covered the earth's surface are by an eighth. It is also the ninth biggest population. Russia has the world's largest forest reserves and the lakes contain much world's unfrozen fresh water that we consume everyday.

There are only two distinct seasons in Russia such as winter and summer. The climate in Russia is usually dry and hot in summer. The country itself is a subtropical climate. The driest areas are the interior's continental. Russia has an abundance of natural resources such as the oil, gas and minerals.

There is 22% of vast forest which is the habitat for rare and important biodiversity. It is also needed growth, but the exploitation and some poorly planned economic development can cause lots of problems.

THE THREE MAIN CRISIS AND THEIRS PROBLEMS:
The world is facing three crisis. For examples: climate change, oil and global resource depletion also fossil fuels. These are the problems that makes the thing complex. There will be a greater changes in the future in order to produce and deliver food to maintain the population of the world now such as there are roughly one billion people that are lacking essential micro nutrients that are provided by animal protein.

The primary resource is the fossil fuel energy and the world has started been using more fossil energy. It appears that the reserves of oil can be cheaply mined now production. The oil prices will rise quickly. World population expansion has been promoted by the availability of inexpensive oil, it allowed food to be produced cheaply but this will change greatly as oil prices rise creating the potential for major disruptions in food availability.

It has supported increased world food production by providing inexpensive inputs like fertilizers, insecticides, traction power and irrigation water.

GLOBAL WARMING:

The prediction about the global warming on the environment and human life are varied. There are lots of prediction but Global warming is real and have to be discuss in any discussion on future agriculture. Increasing sea levels will undoubtedly remove considerable areas of fertile delta and weather patterns will certainly change, leading to at times more intense drought and or flooding rains in some areas. Then some places will become unbalance which will cause some places to gain water- (floods) and the other side to be dry- (drought).

Global warming appears when it warms up the Earth’s atmosphere over a period of time. The globe- “Earth” is experiencing really rapid climate change now. The climate change is warming up by burning fossil fuels such as coal and oil. These fuels usually give off harmful or poisonous gases which can trap heat from the sun. The warming climate had increased the range and he incidence of tropical diseases. On the other hand, it could also bring health benefits. Russia is now witnessing the anomalous weather phenomena more often than ever before.

Global warming also has the risk of decreased crop production as recent research has showed that rice yields decreased. Global warming is also having significant impact on hundreds or thousands of plants and animals species all over the world. It's already taking effects on the plants and animals species now a day as the weather is changing.

Lots of different kinds of birds and plants are laying eggs flowering earlier. This affected the the ecosystem as well. For example: melting sea ice, affecting algae that grow on its underside also the falling harvests in turkey, Iraq, Syria and Saudi Arabia. The increasing temperature is likely to lead the increasing of precipitation, average temperature or wind patterns.

CLIMATE CHANGE:

Climate change is the long term significant change in the Earth’s weather “Average weather”. It gave the some regions experiences.

The climate change poses a global security threat as a competition over the energy. This increased the accessibility of huge hydrocarbon like the Arctic region. It’s changing the geo-strategic dynamics of the region.

Climate change is likely to interrupt lots of Australia’s natural landscapes. Some plants and animals will be found in places where they’ve never been seen before but others will disappear from some regions where they were there before and the regions will change the look, sound, and smell of the landscapes.

HUMAN ACTIONS:

The burning of fossil fuels converts lots of carbon in the biomass into carbon dioxide (CO2), which is called the "greenhouse" gas, as well as methane gas. Many scientists have started to sound the alarm which we must reduce our use of fossil fuels.

FACTS:

There are 95 countries already concluded that 60%of the Earth’s resources are being degraded or used unsustainably. The towns, cities and urban areas are also covering much of the world’s best natural habitats.

GLOBAL ISSUES:

The huge amount of people on earth is the major concern global issues. For examples: in 1991, the population already grew around 6 billion. I think there is a limit beyond which the earth will be over populated. The supply of clean air and water is also one of the global issues as there are limitations for water supply. There are a lot more important global issues such as;
*Wasting resources.
*Energy supplies for the future.
*Protecting all living things.
*Global warming and the climate change.

THE TEMPERATURE RISES:
From the year of 1961 to the year of 2003, the global ocean temperature has risen from the earth's surface to about 700 meters depth . There is variability both year-to-year and over long term scales, with the help of global ocean heat content observations showing the higher rates of warming, but some are cooling down. The temperature of the Antarctic rises in 195o and the 1980, nearly twice the number for the world's oceans. The warming reduced the ocean's ability to absorb CO2.

PAST PROMISES:
Russia re-open the negotiations on the bewilderingly complex rules to govern Kyoto agreement will be met with derision by virtually all governments. It has taken over six years to get them to agree with the decision. If the compromises involved started to unravel and it talks on a new deal would probably drag on until Kyoto targets are to be in by 2008.

NEWS:

We usually think about the costs of climate changeand the rising electricity and fuel prices. But these aren't the major concerns for people living in developing countries.Many countries are facing shortages of food because of the sharply rising prices for dairy food like rice, wheat, soybeans and corn.

the main cause of price increases is the sharp rise in the price of oil which is the major input in the production and transport of food.

The Arctic’s ice melting could fuel the rivalry with the Russia as the tensions are increasing between North and South. The rapid melting of the polar ice-caps in Arctic is opening up a new waterway, international trade routes.
