The factors lead to crop production decrease:
1. floods  2. droughts  3. extreme temperature

CROP PRODUCTION DECREASE 
>>>DESTABILIZE FOOD SYSTEMS
>>>THREATEN  GLOBAL FOOD SECURITY

SOLUTION:
policymakers need robust scientific information to develop effective disaster risk management and 
adaptation interventions( e.i.: infrastructure, technology, management, and insurance)

CONCLUSION:
The global warming and other related issues mainly decreased the global crop production. Extreme heat or cold, floods, and droughts are the essential factors. To face these problems, policymakers need more robust scientific information, researchers should  also offer more data sharing to the public for developing effective disaster risk management. The decline of global crop production also damaged the food systems and threaten food security, which are also some leading social issues that need improvement and adaptations.

New York Day 10

  Things I will do today is very challenging, perhaps not for all of the students in our class. Because I have never actually taken a speech before in my life, so I am very nervous, my heart rate become faster than ever( literally:) but it may be just an opinion,haha.)

  I keep thinking about a concept: I am just taking a speech, it isn't that hard, right??So I stand in front of the stage with my partner, and we began to talk about what we really concerned about. First, we talk about the advantages of 12 year education.1.12 year education let good students to study in various schools, not just famous schools, so every school has its good students, it is to help other schools that are far from the city.2. Students are more relaxing. They have fewer pressure 'cause when facing school homework .(but ya I denied this fact, I am just want to make out more advantages even though I couldn't think more of this policy)3.(negative//disadvantages): this only benefits the rich people, ((this policy requires students to be talented, to gain more point to a better high school, and also get good grades in academic subjects, this is really hard( I doubt only genius could succeed on doing this stuff), but poor people don't couldn't afford to learn other skills or talents.4.This policy of education is too complicated , especially are very worried about this situation.

  After 2 lessons of Laura's , there is still a class at 12:30, so after finishing my delicious lunch, I start my last lesson today, this was a new teacher, Kaitlyn, never heard of this special name. Our topic is : what is happening in NYC??And today we are talking about the rich and poor in NY, it sounds serious, we see some clips about NY, and we have discussions. An Argentina 15-year old girl sit beside me, at first, I think she is an unfriendly person, but later on we chat about the huge gap between the upper-classes and the lower-classes in NYC, I found that we both have different opinions of this issue. This is an common issue that also is happening worldwide, this is an ' economic cliff' which means rich people are getting richer, and poor people and getting even poorer, or they may already face poverty problems. And we should write down what we are going to do to help poor people in NYC. There are 3 main ideas I wrote down on my paper:1.to create more working chances. 2. To donate money, food, and other necessities.3.To educate students, 'cause education is the best way to help poor people to escape their familiar, but annoying life.

Writing definitions on the white board. I write the definition of 'child protection'.

Teacher Laura is saying about some jokes(humorous)

Writing stuffs //grammar

Pros and cons we are going to debate Thursday and Friday;)

That's teacher Kaitlyn, she is really young,she is only 23 years old now!!

New York Day 9

  Today is Monday , a good day to start learning new things. We learn about various types of government, there are the main four kinds of governs.1. Democracy(that's what nearly everybody hope, to be free, without others to dominate and control us)2.dictatorship, that's what j hate the most, but still, in some African countries, dictators decide local people's fate, kinda the most painful kind of ways of living, if the dictator is a tyrant( nightmare...)3.monarchy, it is inherited by birth, for example, England is the most classical example of monarchy, but if the son of the king is a tyrant, then it isn't anything better than a dictator, good luck for those countries.4.theocracy, it is a religious authority, like Islamic State(IS), but many violations occurs between different religions, as everyone know in daily news(so I think democracy will be the best). 

  Then the next part we try to write what we are concerned about, this is a little bit harder then the previous lessons, 'cause we have to give a speech(2 people 1 issue),some of them talk about education, others talk of animal protections, marijuana, and other issues that is common and recently occurred in their own country.But we only have time to write down our ideas, research , and opinions, and Laura said that we could take a speech tomorrow.

Different countries, different governs, but we all have something in common: that we aren't satisfied with our government.( except Canada, so we are all considering to immigrant to Canada. Haha, just kidding!!

I am preparing for my speech, it is about 12 year education in Taiwan, and it is kind of confusing and complicating for students and parents:(

This book 'the coldest winter ever' is excellent, I think I am very into it:)))

Mott's 100% Apple juice( with minions on it:) that was the point (☆_☆)

I think we have this yogurt in Taiwan ' cause it feels familiar.

New York Day 8

  Today, as I my expectation, we go to  

Time Square, Fifth Avenue, which is near the Grand Central Terminal, so we go there by train, the Grand Central Terminal is known as one of the world's most beautiful train stations, and it is really a fact.

  Fifth Avenue, where rich people appear the most, is also famous. It is a long walk from Fifth Avenue to Time Square, really long, but as everyone knows New York is a big city, it requires strength and time to go to the next spot, but that doesn't make me feel miserable, 'cause every corner in New York is a picture of beauty, no one will doubt it.//but the streets are somehow a little dirty:)

  I buy 3 clothes, one is a t-shirt that represents New York, another one is an orange t-shirt with cute white spots, it is that perfect, and that is the one in Forever 21 that make me satisfied. And the other one is a blue and white strip uniqlo-shirt, it is simple, but pure.

  And then, after a long way back to the Grand Central Terminal, we are going back to EF, our dorm, and tomorrow we are going to have some lessons//Monday.

The Fifth Avenue:))// ladies

Grand Central Terminal //artistic,right??

New York Day 7

  Today, we go to the Statue of Liberty, and something unbelievable happened-- I lost my ticket!! Of course, I am very anxious, part of me think that the ticket is beautiful, it can represent my memories,and part of me worried about the price of it.Dammit!! But I learnt an experience that I should check everything carefully.

  Later on we go to Brooklyn Bridge, many tourists and cyclists past through, and I am one of them, it feels like I could be a somebody.

  Even though our school bus pick us to Manhattan, but we should still walk for a while to any destination, New York is that big, and it is only a part of USA, hard to imagine how big it will be...compared to my small small country, Taiwan.

  Our trip is full of excitement and happiness, but a little exhausted, though, but no pain no gain, right??

New York Day 6

Day 6

  Today I am free, 'cause I have only one class, the class is about what kind of qualities should a leader have.

Many students go in front of the white board and wrote down the appropriate answers. I,too,stand in front of it to write, but I was the last one to write down my answers, I was hesitated , then I wrote"acting affective". It sounds nice, to me and teacher Laura.

  Other students' answers are also excellent. Like 'comprehension', 'helpful', 'being effective'. Leaders like President Barack Obama, Warren Buffet, the 'God of stocks', Pope Francis, basketball player Lebron James, Dalai Lama, and Adam Sliver.   I found that even though this was only the sixth day of my journey, I had already learn lots of vocabulary, culture,lifestyles,and everything about English.

  Time flies, as everyone knows, hope I can learn more English and experienced more about what is going on to my life, New York will always be in my memories.

  Afternoon, we walk a long long way to Walgreens, from our EF dorms to our destination, we spent nearly an hour(just one-way)and we go there on foot!! It is very challenging, but it isn't that exhausted to me, because I am really excited about it. I buy the Sour Patch Kids(candy), Brookside chocolate, body lotion, Minute-maid Apple juice, books, and magazines. Everyday in New York sounds too good, and with too much happiness for me, I will cherish these beautiful memories.

Sour patch kids:) yummy.

Learning in Laura's class

New York Day 5

   Learning English through music is a lot of fun, teacher David gives us a piece of paper with lyrics, it is about a song called " All of me", it is lovely. The song is about the unconditional love between a couple and they went through bad and good together. And we have to hear the song and write the vocabulary in the blank, it is a little difficult, though. But finally I made it.

  And in Laura's class we learn about 'globalization' today, it is the increasing economic, social, technological, and cultural integration and interdependence on a worldwide scale. And we learn the benefits and the disadvantages of globalization, some people think globalization gives us convenience in our daily-life, some think that big international corporations are stifling the small mom-and-pop business, they are all true.

  Then we talk about the alteration of films, we research the progressing of it, Laura let us watch some movie trailers, from old films to the modern one. The trailer of 'Jurassic World' was pretty impressive.

My classmate Lucas, he is answering questions, very brilliant of him.

New York Day 4

Day 4

  Today we are going to have 2 classes in the morning. Laura Fumero , our teacher, she is a humorous and funny person. She said "Fumero" in Spanish means smoker, she is confused about her last name, but to me it is interesting. Our class is full of students from Chile, they are in the same group, there eyes are all big and beautiful((not like me),I am a little envious of that.

  First, we should introduce ourselves, and Laura let us chat with each other .Then, she said a short story, it is a meaningful one even though the story was short.

  We are free in the afternoon, so we go to the Fresh Market again, even though we have already been there yesterday, but it is really big, as a result, we walk a long way down the mountain to buy necessities again. I have a happy time !!

New York Day 3

Day 3

  Yesterday I kinda exhausted but couldn't sleep well, there isn't any pillow!!(but they will provide some tonight)

  Our room is clean and simple as it could be, and there are three desks, me and my roommates each have one, and there is a hair dryer in the bathroom, this surprised me(I thought they would appear only at h/motels)

   Breakfast was delicious, and oh my goodness there are lots of fresh fruits,   

plus my favorite fruit--strawberry!

  And we go to Fresh Market at afternoon, it is a really gigantic market, there contain lots of necessities such as fruits, flavoring, meat, stationery, drinks, yogurt, jelly,cakes, various kinds of cards, books, and magazines etc. I bought some pens, highlighters, erasers, automatic pencils, and a white tape(because I forget to bring those to New York :-) )Some items are expensive, but some are cheaper than things in Taiwan, that's just think about that this is America, and we are in New York, it's surprised to learn about that.

Tropicana (lots lots lots...of them

We buy items at Fresh Market XD

These jams look yummy;)

We have these instant noodles in Taiwan, too.

And this delicious yogurt:)

Various colors of apples, a colorful world.

New York Day 2

Day 2

  We stayed at Narita international airport for a while and to the final destination-New York.

  On the airplane, I sit with one of my friends,we sometimes talk to each other,but most of the time she listened to her music and I play my video games , in addition, I still watch a movie which is called Jupiter Ascending. It is dry on the airplane, moreover, the food it offer isn't fresh enough, but this is a normal phenomenon.

  Even though the airplane is a little uncomfortable,but I have a good time with video games and movies, if there is no entertaining facilities for us on the airplane, it will be boring!!

  Now, there is still 4 hours left to New York, I am trying to use my impression to imagine what is New York like, I hope I will like it.

  Then ,we are at 新竹 in MacDonald for some food,I am already famished.

We are going to the airport and soon we will leave Taiwan, hope nothing goes wrong.
