“The Third Industrial Revolution”, as society moved from fossil fuels in the Second Industrial Revolution to renewable energy generation, technologies in sustainable and smart communities. This is why green technology has been implemented which brings innovative ideas to reduce global warming and greenhouse gas effects. 1.2 Definition of…

safety or hazardness of fracking and its byproducts, regulations should be put in place that ban or strictly manage the environmental impacts caused by hydraulic fracking. To begin with, carbon emissions, or the smoke that results from burning fossil fuels are believed to be bad for the environment, and efforts to minimize them have been consistently…

Pollution has been impacting the Earth for multiple years. In Visit Sunny Chernobyl, Andrew Blackwell travels around the world to some of the world's most polluted places. Blackwell asks if the human race destroying the Earth with all the pollution that we have been creating. In the book Visit Sunny Chernobyl, Andrew Blackwell travels to Chernobyl, Fort McMurray, Port Arthur, The Great Pacific Garbage Patch , The Amazon Rainforest, Guiyu & Linfen, and the Yamuna River, which are some of the…

What is coal? Coal is a black sedimentary rock that can be burned for fuel, known for its high concentrations of carbons and hydrocarbons. Coal is also categorized as a non-renewable energy source because it takes millions of years to form. One of the leading theories on how coal is formed, known as the autochthonous theory, claims that there are 4 stages in coal formation. The first phase is the production of Peat, which consists of partially decomposed plant matter. Normally, plant…

variations, either locally, regionally or across the globe” (Union of Concerned Scientists 2011, p185). Why Toronto is still cold and negative degree end of April?. Burning fossil fuel, deforestation and waste of energy are the major contributions to climate change. To reduce the climate change, people need to reduce fossil fuels, protect forests and save energy. Before starting to examine the problem of climate change, it is necessary that differentiate…

Lives and millions of dollars are also the cost of fossil fuels in the Middle East. Terrorist groups such as ISIS thrive on the world's dependency for oil. ISIS stands for Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. They are an extremist military group under corrupted Shar'ah law and the Shi'ah Islamic sect. They control 2/3rd of Syria's petroleum pockets. Using this oil, they act as a broker to small and privately owned refineries. The US has bombed the majority of these refineries, but they continue to…

altering the biosphere in many ways. Some of these ways include air pollution, deforestation, solid waste production,water pollution, and many more. The problem with air pollution comes mainly from burning fossil fuels. We burn fossil fuels through burning the coal, oil, natural gases, and fuel we need to drive cars and have electricity. Water pollution comes mainly from dumping untreated sewage into bodies of water like the ocean, lakes, ponds, rivers, etc. This is causing our water to be…

this vehicle is widely applicable to the entire society. One of the benefits of owning an electrical vehicle, is no emissions are produces as the vehicle is powered and operated through electrical energy only. This means it requires no sort of fossil-fuels or biofuels, required to actively operate this vehicle. This is essential in current society, as the global warming due to excess production of greenhouse gases, is impacting the entire globe. Through the introduction of green vehicles that…

Industry: Natural gas is crucial to the world’s energy supply. It is combusted in order to generate electricity, and when compared to other fossil fuels, it is quite clean, safe and has many end uses.1 For example, natural gas can be used to create electricity, power air conditioners, fuel vehicles, heat water, cook foods, heat buildings and also power large furnaces.2 Natural gas is fairly abundant in North America, yet it is still a nonrenewable resource which takes millions of years to form.…

The crops that are grown around the world for human consumption thrive in exact conditions which may no longer be met with the impending threat of increased climate change. Meteorological events such as droughts will become more frequent as the climate transforms over time, reducing the water available for agricultural irrigation. Moreover, general increases in temperature could make it impossible to grow food in areas that currently serve as the best suppliers, and are likely to make way for…
