What changes in the environment means to me?
Changes in the environment can cause a lot of problems such as, global warming/
temperature changes. This affects the population because We might see increases in
flooding; more extreme heat waves; loss of some species (e.g. birds and trees) and the rise
of others...potentially including pests.
Business cycle
This is when economist make judgement about the economy, they use a number of
different indicators to measure how the country is doing compared another point in
time, for example last month. They also use indicators to make judgements about the UK
economy compared it other economies around the world.
