C. Global warming, rampant pollution, and unchecked carbon emissions into the atmosphere are so serious that, in theory, they could negatively impact earth's entire ecology. If we think of the earth as an organism, with the great forests as the lungs, the river systems as veins, the oceans as kidneys, etc., it is easy to see that any solution must be long-term and be formed in a manner that takes into consideration the inter-relationships between climate zones and regions, irrespective of political boundaries (Kimball, 2008).

D. One of the key changes in the late 20th and early 21st centuries is that of the movement in economics (trade, etc.), politics, and culture toward a more global, less regional stance. With this, the complex nature of modern life shows us that regardless of the political unit, issues that affect the eco-system are broad-based enough to have both positive and negative effects on all parts of the globe -- flora and fauna. This also means that countries that are less developed, and wanting rapid industrialization, must be cognizant of the ecological impact development may have (e.g. deforestation of the Amazon, rerouting rivers in China, etc.
). if, however, nations are tied together economically to a greater extent, there is a far greater chance there will be political and cultural cooperation. This cooperation will hopefully work towards finding solutions to both human development issues and ecological consequences (Nye, 2002).
