    Introduction Ozone depletion has been regarded as one of the global environmental issues for several decades. It is defined by Martens (1) as the situation that the amount of stratosphere ozone layer is decreasing and being damaged. The major reason is that the ozone in the stratosphere protects us from the harmful ultraviolet radiation and absorbs heat from the infra-red radiation. Reducing the amount of ozone probably causes irreversible and permanent damages to human and environment,…

    Global Warming- The change in earth’s atmospheric temperature is known as global warming. Global warming is an immediate danger. Humans are causing climate changes due to which the average temperature of the earth has risen over the past one decade. Many man-made and natural processes cause the global warming that continues to affect our environment. Greenhouse gases are the main cause of global warming. Human beings have raised carbon dioxide in the atmosphere with their activities, such as…

    Regardless of the various definitions of renewable energy, nuclear energy meets every reasonable criterion for sustainability, which is the primary concern of countries. The United States should use nuclear energy for three primary reasons: first, it produces more cost effective energy than any other non-renewable resource. Second there is no release of greenhouse gasses which contribute to global warming, and finally nuclear energy is the most reliable source of power in the world today.…

    atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are those that absorb and emit infrared radiation in the wavelength range emitted by Earth. The majority of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and chlorofluorocarbons. The first person to argue for the greenhouse effect was Joseph Fourier in 1824. Then there was further evidence by Claude Pouillet in 1827 and 1838 that strengthened the argument. John Tyndall also reasoned for it as well after his…
