It may be a possibility that the Earth’s natural weather patterns are beginning to change as the world becomes much more dependent on air travel. This is because airplanes cause a phenomenon known as ‘cloud seeding’ to happen which ultimately changes the formations and natural patterns that clouds take. Experts agree that these phenomena may also be leading to an increased amount of annual rainfall and snowfall.

Whether you call them hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons, tropical cyclones are devastating. They form in warm oceans, and follow wind patterns to reach land.

Climate change is an issue that pervades the environmental circles nowadays. But is there really climate change? Are there evidences that support this worldwide phenomenon that brings many nations together to collectively take actions to address its effects? This article describes what has been learned so far about the disturbing impacts of climate change. It focuses on sea level rise as one of the indicators of climate change.
A brief overview of the controversy over the causes of climate change, and whether they are anthropogenic (caused by humans). The issue has been deeply politicized, but this is an issue of science, and politics should have no place in objective science. Keep in mind that while I argue that the issue of climate change may not be influenced as greatly by humans as is popularly believed, I do believe that more should be done to protect the environment.

To qualify as a working coupon, the link or code must provide a discount above and beyond what's freely available by default on the vendor's site.
To check this, first click the link and check that the coupon can be applied and does provide the discount described. Then, in a different browser, open the vendor's site (without using the Knoji link) and check whether that same discount is available to any user by default. If it's not, and the coupon works, then you've found a qualified coupon and can verify it and get your earnings. If not, you can verify that it does not work (explain why this is) and you'll earn a smaller credit.
Don't waste your time verifying invalid coupons! Before you receive payment, all your verifications will be reviewed, and if they are invalid, you earnings will be deleted. Verify only valid coupons in order to receive payment for this project.
