The medieval warm period occurred in the time period of  950-1250.  This was during the European Middle Ages.  Some of the outgrowths of this period were farms and livestock.  The farming went up during this time.  Farming was very important during this time.

The Little Ice Age was a period of cooling.  This happened in 1550-1850.

Air Quality Blog

Banning-Airport Riverside
This location is in California, and it is right outside of Palm Springs.  The reason why the pollution rate is so high could be attributed to the airport.  Jets let off tons of toxic fumes when the jet fuel is being burned.  The other reason the pollution could be high is because of the traffic of the airport.  With people constantly traveling to and from the airport, the car gas and fumes being emitted are hurting the environment.  The air quality is hurt because of these two things, and there are likely to be more, I just feel that these two are the biggest problems.

The picture shown above is from Google Earth, and it is a screenshot of the waste water test plant of Augusta.  I chose this because without this treatment plant there would be a ton of sewage just sitting around everywhere in Augusta.  This poses a problem not only for us humans, but for our environment.  If this sewage just built up around Augusta the wildlife there may not flourish and even worse, it might die off entirely.  This treatment plant is what keeps the city of Augusta clean.  This water plant also gives many jobs to this community.  The plant is just all around good for Augusta.
