Why Climate Change is Good for the World!

A rising world climate will positively impact humanitarian, ecological, financial, and economic interactions. The article's author, Matt Ridley, states in paragraph seven that, "...climate change in the past century improved human welfare... For some people, this means the difference between survival and starvation." 

Also, many critics are saying that outside temperature is the main culprit behind the deaths of thousands of people. By having the money to install air conditioners, less lives will be claimed by the heat. "It is a little-known fact that winter deaths exceed summer deaths..." says Ridley. Global warming has reduced heating bills more than it has increased cooling bills. By Earth's temperature steadily rising, we are saving money ans lives, which, in turn, helps us keep our wealth and peace of mind. 

In addition, the 1.4% increase in global economic output due to the rising climate is enough to mean the difference between life and death for some people. This statistic is expected to grow to 1.5% by 2025, which would mean that even more people would survive due to the increasing welfare that is circulating in today's economy. 

Finally, it is definitely possible for us to compare the costs and benefits that are associated with global warming. A policy should be established that permits some form of man-made substance to be introduced to our atmosphere to maintain and slightly rise Earth's temperature, but that said policy should also ban excess substances that could potentially cause our climate to significantly skyrocket, which in that case would be extremely detrimental to the delicate balance that is our mother Earth.

Oreos may be as addictive as cocaine, morphine

After researching why humans and animals become addicted to certain substances, foods, drinks, etc., there is much to say about the intriguing behavior of humans when it comes to "cravings". As the title suggests, researchers have suggested that the common snack is as addictive as various drug paraphernalia. Although tasty, I would have never suspected Oreos as a relatively addictive food. You see, the body reacts in different ways when it is exposed to cocaine; consumers, such as rats and humans, produce dopamine when give this substance. When the consumer eats an Oreo, researchers concluded that a higher dopamine content is produced as opposed to cocaine. The difference between being addicted to Oreos and enjoying them from time to time is the inability to stop consuming these tasty delicacies. If a person allows Oreos, or any other food for that matter, to control their life, then they're probably addicted. The rats fondness of the Oreos did not suggest an evident addiction; it just showed that nearly all animals prefer Oreos as opposed to rice cakes or any other type of treat. Everyone wants to be healthy, but the abundance of junk food make it easy for people to off-set a healthy diet. Even though the test results indicate that Oreos are highly addictive, people can always control what goes in their bodies, no matter how much dopamine is produced in the process.
