For instance, according to Kliesen (2005), the majority of the recessions that have taken place in the United States since the end of World War II were preceded by surging oil prices. Economists suggest that the adverse effects of higher oil prices on gross domestic product growth are attributable to increased production costs and by creating an uncertain investment climate wherein business investments are delayed until oil price volatility subsides (Guo & Kliesen 2005)
economy, followed by a summary of the research and important findings in the conclusion. Review and Discussion The past decade has been characterized by a high degree of volatility in global oil prices, beginning with a significant increase in 1999 that continued to accelerate until 2003, reaching an unprecedented pricing level of $145 a barrel in July 2008 (Ono, 2011)

Rosengrant and Cline (2003) note that crop yields have fallen in many areas and in other areas cash crops have forced out food crops. With less land under cultivation for human food crops and more people to feed, agriculture has become increasingly reliant on the use of fertilizers (Cordell, et al
Large portions of the planet will see reduced habitability. Population increases and increased consumption are also creating water shortages in some places, another issue that is related to increased wealth and affects food security (Godfray, et al
, 2009). There are already significant food security issues in many parts of the world, and many more are likely to have such issues in the future (Rosengrant, et al

In some cases, there appears to be a mismatch between social assistance rates or wages and the cost of living. As a result, there is increasing reliance on charitable assistance in the form of food banks as a last resort source of food security (Tarasuk & Beaton, 1999)

This leaves wealth distribution as a critical issue at the city level that would affect food security. From a societal perspective, this is an important issue because of the nature of society's moral obligations to its members and the well-documented adverse outcomes of a lack of food security (Vozoris & Tarasuk, 2003) One element of economic globalization is essential to understanding wealth distribution, and that is human migration

People depend on snow conditions for their daily survival .The changes in snow cover might impact various activities these include agriculture (Grete, 2010)
The sunlight that is reflected back into the earth is not reabsorbed back into the earth as heat is therefore a requirement that there exists a high albedo since it acts as a cooling factor to the global climate system. There is as significant spatial extent of ice and snow therefore a considerable amount of solar energy is deflected and therefore the earth is protected from the extreme effects of global warming (Maurer, 2004)
