Chlorofluorocarbon

My project is in proving that carbon dioxide reaches a higher temperature than normal air does. I wanted to study this subject to prove that global warming is indeed happening, because I am highly concerned for our planet’s future, and I hope to prove in this project that carbon dioxide can indeed cause the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse Gasses: Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, causing the greenhouse effect. According to A Student’s Guide to Climate Change, the…

industrialization have a direct impact on global warming with the increased production of greenhouse gases. What is global warming? In short, it is the raise in temperature of Earth’s surface, caused by the gases carbon dioxide, methane, dinitrogen and chlorofluorocarbons. For contrast, oxygen and nitrogen are gases that will not trap heat and are therefore not greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere. You see, the sun provides energy in the form of solar radiation;…

In an era of increased globalization, transnational corporations (“TNCs”) and MNCs have grown in number and in power. A significant portion of modern economic development occurs through TNCs that, in an effort to maximize profit, move to developing countries. Among the attractions to TNCs of such regions are lax environmental regulations and what amounts to tolerance of human rights violations. TNCs have increased the rate of man-made environmental destruction and concomitant harm to humans.…

Earth is a planet that has relatively stable temperatures. This is possible because of Earth’s atmosphere as it consists of a thin layer of gases that forms a “cloak” around the planet. There are 97 percent of climate scientists that agrees that people on Earth has changed its atmosphere in a considerable way over the past two centuries. The results of this is due to the greenhouse effect that causes global warming (Lallanila, 2015b). But what is the greenhouse effect? What is the greenhouse…

It seems widely acknowledged that scientific knowledge is special because it is derived from the facts of experience with application of rigorous scientific methods such as observation, experiment, measurement, statistics, and theorization, to natural phenomenon. Other academic fields like literature and jurisprudence, for example, appear to be merely based on vague and inaccurate methods such as expressing personal experience or opinion, or applying rules written in words arbitrarily…

Climate change comes to the fore as in any discussion of environmental. Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and using transportation are the main causes which rapidly accelerate climate change. However, such problems can be controlled and dealt with by making an effort to implement renewable energy and conserve energy as mentioned and the sequestration of carbon dioxide. Thermal power generation burning fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas has been used…

A combustion reaction (also known as burning) is an exothermic reaction in which something reacts with oxygen. Combustion reactions are known to be one of the most common types of reactions, they don’t need a lot to happen, there only needs to be an excess amount of oxygen, and with the excess amount, the combustion is called a complete combustion reaction. But with a little amount, the reaction is called an incomplete combustion reaction. The products in a complete combustion reaction are water…

Rockets Rockets are tall thin vehicles that are equipped with an engine. A rocket engine functions by burning fuel. Rockets turn the fuel into hot gas, pushing the gas out of its back, making the rocket move forward. Robert Hutchings Goddard is deemed the father of rocket science. Many have contributed to the develop ment of rockets, but the studies of a certain few have been recognized and had an impact on the world of rockets. Russian Konstantin E. Tsiolkovsky published Rocket…

Right now, earth is very different than it was 100 years ago, or even 50 years ago. The environment is rapidly declining due to excessive pollution and in May 1985, three scientists discovered a hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica (Ask 4). At the current rate of environmental degradation, five to ten percent species found in tropical rainforests will go extinct every ten years (Environmental 2). Humans are taking advantage of the earth’s resources with no concern for future generations.…

it’s unhealthy, and can potentially kill off most of the polar life. First of all, the melting ice in the antarctic ice caps is very dangerous. Global warming could potentially kill us all in the long run. Pollutants in the air called CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons), have been released…
