The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer 1. Introduction to the international agreement The Montreal Protocol came into effect as a result of the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer. The Convention founded ozone depletion as highly global environmental problem that required international consensus on regulating the use of CFC’s. Two years later, on September 16th 1987, the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was signed by 24…

CO2 + 4 H2 → CH4 + H2O This reaction can be used to produce water in empyreal. CO2can be extracted from mars and the waste from the industrial torus where there is high levels of CO2 H2 can be obtained from electrolysis The methane can be used as a fuel in industries. GRAVITY Empyreal has a torus based design because it has to rotate about its axis; when it rotates it creates artificial gravity. So the people inside would have to experience centripetal acceleration, we can say that based on…

Four Reasons Aluminum Is One of the Best Choices for Your Metal Needs Aluminum is thought by many to be the best choice for applications involving metal. Most people think of soda cans when they think of aluminum, but there are a great many other applications that make this the preferred choice for design work by engineers. The following are only a few of the most important reasons that aluminum is so popular. It is recyclable This is on top of the list because natural resources are limited,…

Fossil fuels are low cost, easily obtained and transported, and it can be produced in large amounts, however, eventually it will run out. Being entirely dependant on a perishable source is an imprudent decision. If the full economic potential of geothermal resources…

Greenhouse gases act like a sheet or blanket that keeps the planet warm. This protective layer keeps our atmosphere habitable. But over the past two-hundred years, have greatly increased the levels of greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere by burning fossil fuels like oil and coal. The consequence of this is that the layer of greenhouse gasses gets even thicker, causing the temperature to rise rapidly. Not only does global warming affect the environment of polar bears, but so does deforestation.…

Have you ever asked yourself, “how would the world react we were gone?” or “What if individuals no longer walked on the earth that we have impacted so much? What impact would we leave behind?” Although Alan Weisman admits that it is very unlikely that our species disappear”, he still talks about these questions in the book The World Without Us in order for us to more closely recognize our environmental impacts on earth. Weisman starts his book off with humans having vanished unexpectedly and…

to produce their goods and services. Another way Canada can prevent the most dangerous impacts of climate change is by investing in infrastructure, which includes mass transit such as high speed bullet trains. This can help reduce the use of fossil fuels. In summary, Canada needs a climate change plan which considers the major sources of greenhouse gas emissions and cutting these emissions from them. Thus, this is why I think climate change needs to be dealt with immediately. This is especially…

less oxygen, so fuels do not completely burn. What causes air pollution? The air pollution is cause by overcrowding, industrialization, vehicle emissions, and location at the base of the mountains which trap emissions producing a heavy overlay of smog. The major environmental concerns surrounding air pollution in Mexico City, Mexico, such as damage to vegetation, harm to the atmosphere, and harm to human beings. What is the impact of the air pollution in Mexico? Incomplete of fuels contributes…

The Anthropocene should be made an official geologic epoch. Epochs are marked by a significant change in the geologic record. There is no doubt that humans, the dominant species of the Anthropocene, have had a vast influence on the planet. The most rapid change in the geologic record has happened since 1950, dubbed the 'Great Acceleration'. This is the starting point of a great rise in energy consumption so extensive that it is changing the Earth's climate. A rapid rise in urbanization has…

environmental groups, Mr. Hunt is required to reconsider his approval on coalmine in Carmichael. Nowadays, climate change is a hot topic in the world. Scientists prove that the major cause of climate change is human activities through burning of fossil fuel and deforestation. These activities increase greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, which global warming articulates every year. Climate change is one of the most significant drivers in change in social-ecological system in coastal areas(Evans et…
