Effects of Global Warming on the Environment Essay

Throughout the article, he strives to inform the reader the dangerous effects that the increase of carbon dioxide will have on the planet and also how it will affect our quality of living. By informing the reader of these problems, McKibben hopes that people might take his advice and use alternative means of transportation and energy usage to decrease carbon dioxide emissions from being released into the atmosphere and causing global warming. In “Carbon’s New Math”, McKibben made some very…

Modern Climate Change and Global Warming Affect on Society The Earth is 4.6 Billion years old, and over this course of time, there have been great changes in Earth’s geology that we as humans have never been able to witness due to our short life span on the geologic time scale. It is not until the past couple of decades where we are seeing geologic changes in our lifetime due to human made climate change. Fossil fuels such as gas and coal are used as sources of energy, but they have increased…

The polar bear inhabits the arctic, which…

EFFECTS & CONTRIBUTION 1.1 CARBON FOOTPRINT 2.1.1. What is carbon foot print Carbon foot print is a handy tool for the calculation of the total carbon dioxide emission or GHG form any entity which is responsible. It is defined as measure of impact of different activities on the environment in terms of green house gases produced (Sridevi). The total greenhouse gas emission can be expressed as a term of CO2 Equivalent. It can be used for analyzing for the use of national or sector,…

research has shown, every year our global climate is getting warmer. Yet to many people, this issue has not affected their own lives. So why worry about global warming? Many scientists have done research on global warming, and what began to cause it. Scientists can also predict what will happen to our planet if global warming continues.
