Military History of Japan during World War II Sources: Raffles' expedition arrived in Singapore on 29 January 1819 (although they landed on Saint John's Island the previous day). He found a Malay settlement at the mouth of the Singapore River headed by Temenggong Abdul Rahman for the Sultan of Johor The Temenggong had originally moved to Singapore from Johor in 1811 with a group of Malays and when Raffles arrived there were an estimated 150 people governed by the Temenggong mostly of them Malays with around 30 Chinese. Although the island was nominally ruled by Johor the political situation was precarious for the Sultan of Johor at the time The incumbent Sultan of Johor Tengku Abdul Rahman was controlled by the Dutch and the Bugis and would never agree to a British base in Singapore However Abdul Rahman was Sultan only because his older brother Tengku Hussein also known as Tengku Long had been away in Pahang getting married when their father died Hussein was then living in exile in the Riau Islands. British forces had planned to liberate Singapore in 1945; however the war ended before these operations could be carried out It was subsequently re-occupied by British Indian and Australian forces following the Japanese surrender in September. Meanwhile Tomoyuki Yamashita was tried by a US military commission for war crimes but not for crimes committed by his troops in Malaya or Singapore He was convicted and hanged in the Philippines on 23 February 1946.

Estimates made in 2003 have said that the rapid habitat destruction will culminate in a loss of 13-42% of populations in all of Southeast Asia to combat these problems the Singaporean government has made the Singapore Green Plan in 1992 and the new Singapore Green Plan in 2012 to continue it The plan aims to keep tabs on the unstable populations of fauna and flora to place new nature parks and to connect existing parks In addition there are plans to set up a "National Biodiversity Reference Centre" (now known as the National Biodiversity Centre) the last goal has been reached in 2006 when the centre was founded (it also accomplished the establishment of two new nature reserves in 2002) Since its foundation it has been formulating various specific initiatives including attempts to conserve the hornbill and the rare dragonfly Indothemis limbata.

Climate change occurs when changes in Earth's climate system result in new weather patterns that last for at least a few decades and maybe for millions of years The climate system comprises five interacting parts the atmosphere (air) hydrosphere (water) cryosphere (ice and permafrost) biosphere (living things) and lithosphere (earth's crust and upper mantle) The climate system receives nearly all of its energy from the sun with a relatively tiny amount from earth's interior The climate system also gives off energy to outer space The balance of incoming and outgoing energy and the passage of the energy through the climate system determines Earth's energy budget When the incoming energy is greater than the outgoing energy earth's energy budget is positive and the climate system is warming If more energy goes out the energy budget is negative and earth experiences cooling.
