Fossil fuel

Industrial revolution has been using fossil fuel for powerful machines. Everything we use nowadays is involved in fossil fuel. For example, when we buy a computer, the process of making this computer involve machines, and these machines uses fossil fuel to work, due to releasing carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Besides industrial, transportation such as cars, trains, boats, planes...etc. According…

That is a problem towards climate change; if we can consume less and think green, less fossil fuel would burn to extract and transport goods around the world. We know that we need food to survive; however, there is a change that can be made when going grocery shopping. One change is to change plastic bags to reusable bags. “An estimated 12 million…

Human activity has a great impact on global warming. Events, such as burning fossil fuels, contributes much of the carbon dioxide that is emitted into the atmosphere. Global warming effects caused by human activity affects the earth 's climate in many ways. It is melting the earth 's poles, glaciers and ice sheets which causes sea levels to rise. It is also shifting climates and precipitation patterns and is forcing animals to migrate. Global warming is caused by the Greenhouse Effect. The sun…

Fracking, also known as hydraulic fracturing, is a type of drilling that uses water, sand and chemicals, shot at high pressure, to release energy resources trapped inside rocks. This recently new technology for drilling allows areas that were previously inaccessible for drilling, like very concentrated rocky areas, to now be opened up through fracking to obtain natural gases and oil. The water solution used with this drilling technique produces almost the same amount of “sludge” as an after…

A long-term transformation in Earth’s climate over time. It is a a change due to an increase in the average atmospheric temperature: Melting glaciers imply that life in the Arctic is affected by climate change. This could be a change in a place normal temperature for a month or season. It refers to any distinct change in measures of climate lasting for a long period. In other words, it means major changes in temperature, rainfall, snow, or wind patterns lasting for decades or longer. Climate…

Renewable Energy and You Every time a light comes on in a house energy is being used. There many different ways to get this energy. Whether it’s from burning fossil fuels or using renewable resources. Most homes get the energy from factories or utility companies that generate it. Majority of these companies use fossil fuels to generate the energy that is then sent to people’s homes. The bad part about this is that harmful chemicals are produced during this process. A way to slow down the release…

List disadvantages of your technical innovative design. • Noise disturbances • Threat to wildlife • Wind can…

We can accomplish this by cutting the use of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxide is responsible for more than half of the greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere followed by methane and nitrous. Burning coal and gas for energy like heat, electricity, and the fuel to run vehicles is the main source of carbon dioxide pollution. Driving alone is one of the main sources of gas pollution; to make it worse, us commuting…

greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. They retain heat. One of the greenhouse gases that have the biggest effect is Carbon dioxide which is released into that atmosphere through cell respiration in living organisms and combustion of biomass and fossil fuels. It is then removed from the atmosphere by photosynthesis…

1.First, the "carbon tariff" The concept of "carbon tariff" most early by former French President Jacques Chirac put forward is that if a country's production of the product does not reach the standard set by the importing country in energy saving and emission reduction, will be levied tariffs. In 2009 France proposed in 2010 will to foreign imports impose a "carbon tariff", the tariff rate will be for per ton of carbon dioxide emissions charge Euro 17, later also will be gradually increasing…
