In the title of the document the priority refers to the facts and challenges caused by countries. The recurrence of disasters Gunnar Kuepper refers to the management of the planet. Gunnar Kuepper dedicates the first 10 sections to facts and challenges. In the last section, and in each section, the author predicts future problems. Each of the sections references words to link them together. Sections include world population, economy, disaster costs, global health, climate change and global warming, environmental issues, water crises, education and employment, migration, science and technology, and outlook. Each section builds on the previous section. Sections prioritize messages related to the magnitude, importance, and direction of natural disasters, global warming, overpopulation, and industrialization. The recurring words are population and overpopulation, economy, natural disaster, data and facts, costs, CO2 emissions, industry and health. Often recurring words are referred to in different ways. As for population, the word appears in many ways as world population, human population, global population, overpopulation, people around the world, population, and migrants. Economy appears as global economy, insured losses, ecosystem exploitation, agriculture, high-tech manufacturing, energy production, economic power, job opportunities, radioactivity, cloning technology, modern technologies, world's largest metropolitan areas, powers economic, economic losses, poorer nations, richer nations and states. Disasters appears as natural disasters, costly events, floods, tropical cyclones, earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, storms, violent winds, winter storms, exhaustion......middle of paper......succeeds with overpopulation, natural disasters and man-made and global warming. The priority is therefore a combination of development and global warming as the potential to destabilize agriculture, government leadership, wars and internal conflicts. Gunnar Kuepper uses enough facts as data to describe the challenges the world faces and has faced. It predicts the deterioration of the planet due to deregulation and failure to enforce environmental laws. Disasters could be reduced and controlled if developing and developed countries vigorously enforced laws and adopted new and safer methods of exploitation and modernization.
