Human activities have caused greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere to show a sustained rise since 1750. The evidence of climate change is visible everywhere. For instance, Jakarta's ground has sunk 2.5 meters in under a decade. Sea levels have increased by 10 feet over the past 30 years.
If GHG emissions remain high, the rain will rise from 1 to 13 percent. Monsoon precipitation will increase particularly over South and Southeast Asia, East Asia, and West Africa, apart from the… Show more

If GHG emissions remain high, the rain will rise from 1 to 13 percent. Monsoon precipitation will increase particularly over South and Southeast Asia, East Asia, and West Africa, apart from the far west Sahel. An additional 78 million people will be facing chronic hunger in 2050. Over half of them will be in Africa, south of the Sahara (IFPRI, 2021).

Enterprises that follow the "The Looping Growth Cycle" will obtain sustained business growth. I explain this concept by analyzing the growth strategies of six of the world's fastest-growing companies – Airbnb, Alibaba, Apple, Walmart, Tesla, and SpaceX.

Market demand and customer behavior together, when supported by a product portfolio, lead to successful sales. Growth is sustained when a virtuous cycle of product portfolio, market demand, and customer behavior is created. This cycle leads to business growth. Business growth is supported by innovation. The growth cycle loop is sustained if all these factors continue to operate optimally. Enterprise growth takes place in loops, and the growth cycle is called The Looping Growth Cycle. Show less

Face swapping scandals have seriously outdone the legal system globally. The law hasn't addressed such technological crimes as yet. Judges and lawyers will face challenges defending their victims and prosecuting those who are guilty.

For example, a piece of CCTV video evidence produced in court for trial, where the victim's face was captured as the person performing a criminal act. How would the latter be able to prove his/her innocence since it has been face-swapped?

For actions you did not partake, you will be falsely accused.
How can this be addressed?
How can the law protect the innocent from such technological abuses? Show less
