in the atmosphere, the air also gets warmer causing ocean levels start to rise. It doesn’t only affect our water, but also our air. Due to our use of fossil fuels, the pollution that has been happening has caused our air to be composed of mostly Carbon dioxide. Too much CO2 can be dangerous for humans and animals to intake. When our air becomes more contaminated, it makes it harder for us to live here on…

because of the greenhouse gases released as individuals burn fossil fuels. Global warming is because of the enhancing greenhouse gases emission and build-up in the Earth's environment. The gasses that have an impact on the atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, dinitrogen-oxide, and methane. Very nearly 30 percent of incoming sunlight is reflected back into space by bright surfaces like clouds and ice. In the other 70 percent, most are consumed by the land and ocean, and the rest is…

The documentary 'Plastic Paradise' released in April 22, 2014 directed by Angela Sun, shows the effects, plastic has on the environment. This documentary is effective in multiple ways. Their Facts are very well their strongest suit, second most effective is the emotional appeal they have shown, however their least effective are the interviewers. Plastic harms the ocean and its inhabitants, which also affects the people because they eat what has been in the ocean. Plastic has been in the marine…

Throughout the book “the sceptical environmentalist”, the author Bjorn Lomborg argues against the “litany of our ever-deteriorating environment” (Lomborg 2001, 3). The litany refers to the popular view point of mass environmental destruction and rapid degradation caused by the human race; which is shaped by the media with the messages and images we see on a daily basis (Lomborg 2001, 3). The litany incorporates the issues such as declining food security, water quality, biodiversity loss and…

It is sunny and hot: to what extent does heat and sun imagery shape Meursault’s action In the novel The Stranger by Albert Camus, weather imagery plays an important role. Some of the most important imagery is heat and sun imagery. The main character, Meursault, is always aggravated when the sun is present. Sun and heat are shown to control his emotions. The intensity of the heat and the sum are the main controlling factors of his emotions. Heat and sun can be interpreted as the relationship…

revolution, scientists have discovered “that production of electricity using coal and petroleum, and other uses of fossil fuels in transportation and industry, affects our environment in ways we did not understand before.” The dramatic increase of carbon dioxide and methane, gasses that absorb heat, in the atmosphere has a direct correlation to the rise in temperatures, making it more obvious that humans are contributing to global…

The Negative Consequences of Burning Fossil Fuels by Samantha Talladira, Earth Science - 4th Period We burn fossil fuels to run your cars or to help with keeping the power and or heat in your house on. We even use them for things like building houses or roads or even skyscrapers. Without the advance of using fossil fuels, the world would look totally different than that of what you see today. The entire world runs off of something as simple as fossil fuels to keep it functioning. There are three…

FrackNation is a documentary produced by Phelim McAleer. Phelim aims to address what the filmmakers say is the wrong information about the process of hydraulic fracturing when drilling for oil in the ground, commonly called fracking. The film looks at many different ways that fracking for natural gas, oil, and other minerals in the ground occurs and tries to address the concerns surrounding the process that were said to be happening in the anti-fracking film Gasland. Gasland was made by Josh Fox…

The nexus between climate change, poverty and inequalities. The influence between climate change and inequalities need to be concerned to find the link of climate change and human rights. Climate change is a global phenomenon with impacts spread across the world, however, less developed countries are more likely to have a severe impact than that of developed countries (The Global Climate Risk Index 2018). Especially those in the region near the equator, such as Central America, the Caribbean,…

Introduction We cannot compare anything to breathing clean and fresh air. But today, are we breathing clean air? The gases you're taking up by our noise could be slowly killing us. World Health Organization says in their report, in every year about two million people die too early due to the effects of polluted air. Air pollution is a large problem and it is not a problem of people only, the problem of the world also, through such things as global warming and damage to the ozone layer, it has…
