annotated bibliography for earthquake in China

In “Title” by Author, the author argues that the earthquake happened in China would undoubtedly impact China’s economy in a negative way in a short-term, as some of the nation’s largest companies were damaged by the earthquake. And the need for donations and relief aid were not met. Furthermore, Sichuan relies its economy heavily on the natural resources produced, which were also affected adversely, which drives the costs of the products higher. The author says that Sichuan is not a major economic core of the country, and although these negative affect will take a toll on the Chinese economy in a short-term, there wouldn’t be a profound long-term effect on the country’s economy in general, because the growth rate the earthquake is estimated to take away is nominal. In addition, local transportation system had little effect, and the agricultural sectors weren’t’ hurt on a large scale.

This "Air pollution"by Author, the author argues that because people living, there are have different kinds of pollution impact to global warming. According to the author, the first greenhouse is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is the main pollutant that is warming Earth. Past 150 years our air is clear, but because the human activities, we always bring a lot carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Other greenhouse gases is methane, the methane can effect on Earth's ozone layer. Another is sulfur dioxide, the gases component of smog, cause of acid rain and cause Earth to cool.In fact, volcanoes is the main source of atmospheric sulfur dioxide. But we can't say lower sulfur dioxide levels can really make global warming worse. In the end, the author said people can do a lot different way to curb global warming, especially of reduce "carbon footprint". And governments can use two ways to control"carbon footprint". The first way is through the Kyoto Protocol. Another way is to put taxes on carbon emissions or higher taxes on gasoline.
