Proposal for Presentation
In recent years, planet Earth has been experiencing unprecedented cataclysmic events that signal to scientists a major catastrophic event. Anthropogenic climate change seems to be a key player in setting record-breaking natural disasters in the environment. Principles of Environmental Health (PBHL 525) integrates biblical prophecies to current events in the environment. Some of the topics include global climate change and resulting natural disasters. Globalization of business and transmission of newly emerging infectious diseases, melting glaciers and sea level rises. PBHL 525 provides an excellent model for the integration of faith in the classroom.
