		<title>How much change in distribution of demography and agricultural crop types will take place in temperate and tropical regions due to climate change considering present rate of consumption of resources? What are those safer regions which will be the most favorite destinations of migrants affected by global warming, vulnerable events and ground water depletion?</title>

		<description><![CDATA[The increasing consumption of earth resources like fossil fuel, mining, pumping out ground water etc. is creating disturbances inside earth and in earth’s atmosphere. These disturbances in earth systems will attract vulnerable events like earthquakes, tsunami, cyclones etc. Regions prone to these vulnerable events will be devastated which will force people to migrate to safer [...]]]></description>

With the climate variability, extremes and change species are suffering from extreme and persistent droughts, floods, wildfires etc. Seconded by the increasing population of people who also depend on climate-sensitive sectors (farming, fishing, [...]]]></description>

Yet, they are being threatened by environmental changes. also, some biological systems adapt to the change by threatening other species. Therefore, it becomes imperative to study mechanisms of adaptability and vulnerability to climate change of different [...]]]></description>

		<title>A similar question to the one asking if its safe to store CO2 underground but taking into account how it might effect processes within the Earth: Is there a danger of CCS trapping heat within the Earth and changing the processes that occur within the Earth?</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes are governed by the processes within the earth. I would not like to have these processes changed so there are more volcanic eruptions and earthquakes happening. It will probly be hard to moniter how much heat could be trapped within the Earth though. Are there any records that people can get [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“It is frightening that in our technocratic times baseline principles are not subjected to questioning, so that when they built the basis of trivial or, conversely, delicately-designed model, it is considered as a full replacement of natural phenomena.” (I.M.Gelfand 1989). 
By definition, an extreme event is a rare one in a series of kindred phenomena. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thousands of people are killed almost every year due to earthqaukes which strike in one or the other part of the globe. Most of the deadly ones are linked to earth tectonics like subduction, collision, transform faults etc. These processes have been operating in response to the stress/strain concentration in different global locales at different [...]]]></description>
