The San Francisco General Strike, along with the 1934 Toledo Auto-Lite Strike led by the American Workers Party and the Minneapolis Teamsters Strike of 1934 led by the Communist League of America, were important catalysts for the rise of industrial unionism in the 1930s, much of which was organized through the Congress of Industrial Organizations.
>On a practical level, this meant that industrial relations should be organized in such a manner that the various economic interests would be represented by some associations such as committees that could both advance the interests and discipline its members, with the help of government, along lines of a greater collective good. This philosophy came to be known as "corporatism.
The industrial revolution as it is now called started the by making manufacturing more efficient and at the time time the pollution that was caused by same was unrecognized.
>BTW, all climate change IS history,learn by history or you are doomed to repeat the same mistakes.
There certainly weren't any industrial contributors in the Americas during those 2 years.
That was deep in the depression & most American factory's were empty & rusting until 1940 or so.
however Asia & western Europe started building battleships & munitions at a frantic pace at about that time.
especially in japan & China who had been fighting battles since 1931 until this turned into the largest Asian war of the 20th century in 1937.
For details see the second Sino Japanese war.
Also see German rearmament in the 1930's.
Of course your teacher may have a personal agenda & be looking for something else entirely.
JimZ, as ignorant of history as he is of science, does not know in which year World War II began, and is too lazy to take 20 seconds and google for the correct year (1939).
In any case, a single year cannot contribute much to climate change unless there is something cataclysmic like a huge asteroid slamming into earth (no such event in 1934-35). These dates in the question look erroneous.
That was the pit of The Depression, worldwide. Industry was greatly slowed. There were also several key events leading up to WW2 and the rapid industrialization that came with that. These are important factors, but not something that creates identifiable year-to-year global climate change. It takes a major natural event to create a single-year change; ocean current change, or huge volcano or some such. The Depression and WW2 had huge effects on industrialization that affected the atmosphere, so they did affect climate but not so severely that it can be seen above natural factors in one given year.
Raisin, I remember being surprised to read so many climatologists had degrees in geography which struck me as odd as well.
It was the time of the beginning of World War II. Maybe she/he is thinking of bombs, carpet bombing cities, smoke, etc. I tend to concur that your teacher is certainly an idiot. CO2 has increased relatively steadily since then but temperature has not.
That was about when Russia started industrializing. You might want to research that.
Otherwise your teacher is an idiot. Climate change and history in a geography class?
Zip. Nada. According to Al Gore the industrial revolution didn't start until sometime after WWII.
What change in climate are you specifically referring to? I have seen none and I have lived almost that long.
According to John Daly it was solar conditions http://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0SO8zJ5v...
But it was bad land management that brought on the dust bowl conditions, the tilling of prairie ranges to plant crops, disturbed the long rooted prairie grasses that held the soil together.
It was not CO2 emissions as it is generally conceded that CO2 emissions did not begin to rise until the 50's.
One year is too short a range for anything except singular climatic events.
I doubt those dates are correct - the period is too short for any sort of meaningful answer. One date is probably an error - so check with whoever set the work.
We have been given some geography homework to research 'what may have been happening to our planet between 1934-1935 that contributed to differing global climate temperatures. Think about industrialisation and development.' I have done some research and cannot find anything specific or ongoing events that have had an impact on climate change. If anyone knows of anything that I can then add and expand my research on myself, thank you, because I cannot find anything!
