Chapter 24: Accelerating Global Interaction Part 2

This last section of the chapter talks about the world's environment.  The three factors that are focused on are: population increase, use of fossil fuels, and economic growth.  It is amazing that the population has quadrupled going into the 20th century.  During 2000, the idea of global warming became the main focus with it's burning fossil fuels that effect the ozone layer.  The United States alone contributes 30% of global warming, it is no surprise since the US is a super power that distributes a lot of fossil fuels.
