Assignment 2 – Threats to the Global Environment PowerPoint Deck and Their Counterarguments (250 points)
The United Nations has continued to retain you as a consultant for a two-part project.

Energy sources, Civil war, Globalization, Poor health of entire populations, Lack of educational opportunities; Cultural taboos, Inappropriate uses of technology, Climate change
