The attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japaness forces on December 7, 1941 was a pivotal moment in the World War II and, since then it changed the course and outcome of war. Japan attacked Pear Harbor to cripple the U.S. Pacific Fleet, thereby preventing American interference with its strategic goals of securing resource- rich territories in Southeast Asia.
The attack on Pearl Harbor holds significant importance in the World war history because of the following reasons:
1. The attack marked the formal entry of U.S. in the World War II, and thus driving it out of the policy of isolation and non- intervention. On December 8, 1941, President F.D. Roosevelt delivered his famous “Day of Infamy” speech, and declared war on Japan.
2. The U.S involvement into the war and its entry in the Allied forces bloc made the camp more powerful. The U.S. provided military and economic support to Allied nations, contributing to their victory in the war.
3. The attack on Pearl Harbor led to massive mobilization of American industrial and military resources. This included strengthening of the U.S military forces and huge scale production of war weapons.

The phenomenon of climate change is not new but it has accelerated due to human needs and development. While the course of climate change has been the result of the Industrial Revolution over several decades. Natural processes such as changes in the Sun’s energy and volcanic eruptions also affect the Earth’s climate.
Here are the main reasons for climate change in recent times:
1. Greenhouse Gas Emissions: The burning of fossil fuels emits large amount of GHGs such as Carbon-dioxide(CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), CFCs and HFCs. These GHGs emissions caused Earth’s temperature to rise and subsequently lead to global warming.
2. Deforestation: Clearing forests for urban development, agriculture and logging reduces the number of trees that can absorb CO2, thus increasing carbon footprint.
3. Rapid Industrialization: Since Industrial Revolution, human activities have contributed enormously to concentration of GHGs through manufacturing processes and energy production for making goods.
4. Urbanization: The rapid growth of urban cities has often lead to increased energy consumption and emissions from vehicles, heating and cooling systems.
These human- induced factors have hastened the rate of climate change leading to warming of Earth’s surface. Collective efforts are required from governments and individual to reduce the global increase in GHGs.
