Question:
I’m doing an essay about the impact of geography on history and for the Modern World section I want to state that geography had an effect on the current environmental “crisis”. My argument is that because of things like abundant natural resources, they were depleted, and because of a regions physical landscape, things like deforestation were caused because there was not enough arable land. I might also be able to make the claim that because the climate in certain areas is sunny and windy, it led to the usage of solar panels and wind energy. If you think I can support my claims at least slightly, then please post a comment, and if you have suggestions or anything. And just a another bit of information; I’m a freshman in high school but my history teacher grades like a college professor.
***NOTE***
Please don’t post something pointless like “global warming was caused by lazy Americans”. Sorry, but I could care less about your political ideologies, I want facts, as well as meaningful criticism.
