these greenhouse gases has increased dramatically in the atmosphere, leading to global warming. According to the the EPA (The US Environmental Protection Agency), the largest sources of greenhouse gas emission in the United States of America are, electricity, making up around 30% of all greenhouse gas-emitting…

Causes and Impact of Global Warming Climate changes have a long term impact to patterns of temperature, rain, snow, and wind. The shift in temperature creates global warming which is an average increase in temperature near the earth’s surface and the lowest layer of the atmosphere. The climate change affect people and the environment in many different ways. The idea on remaining vital with climate changes is to identify the social problem of environmental inequalities for the adaptations to…

With the growing population in the past years comes an increase in urbanization and industrialization, thus increasing the number of buildings in urban areas and consequently this means an overall rise in energy usage by the people. The increase in population and amount of people moving into urban areas is occurring at an alarming rate, but this doesn’t come as a surprise. Ever since 1950 this has been occurring. From 1950 to 1986 there was an increase from 600 million to 2 billion people…

has generated gradual but hopefully exponential progress in the desirable direction. There is currently 54 coal to gas projects in the works that would provide cleaner burning natural gas for the northwestern region of China, and eliminate some of the heavy pollutants found from burning coal. Unfortunately as we have learned the process of collecting and refining this natural form of gas can be just as atrocious as the negative effects of coal. Secondly believe it or not China has actually…

The innocence of a child is something nothing can compare to, we would never think to harm them or put them in danger. They are fragile, they have no defense other than a parents protection and love. But what if the resources they needed to survive slowly started disappearing and thing things that brought us joy were taken away from them because of the people that said they would never hurt them. Can we apologize in advance for something we turned away from because we felt it wasn 't our problem…

fracturing, is a process used to obtain natural gas from shale rock formations. This type of drilling is used with another type called “horizontal drilling” (The Pennsylvania Guide to Hydraulic Fracturing, or "Fracking). A common question that arises is “Why is fracking being done?” The answer is simple and a quote by Jeremy Grantham perfectly explains this question. The quote is “The world is using up its natural resources at an alarming rate…” Natural gas is a nonrenewable resource so the…

world. However, hydraulic fracturing for natural gas poses the greatest current threat because its potential for environmental and human damage is vast and its management is fairly unregulated. Although hydraulic fracturing, often shortened to fracking, has been around since its first…

Free Trade is a Free Pass to Oppose Climate Control Naomi Klein’s This Changes Everything Capitalism vs The Climate argues that in order to begin to solve the issue of climate change we must abandon the free market system American democracy is based upon. Klein states, “We have not done the things that are necessary to lower emissions because those things fundamentally conflict with deregulated capitalism” (Klein 18). Here, I will be focusing on the claim made by Naomi Klein that free market…

Today humans gather most of their energy from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. Fossil fuels impact our environment. These impacts include global warming as mentioned above, air quality deterioration, oil spills, and acid rain. As a result of the excessive use of these resources, it 's predicted that they will be depleted within…

hydrogen fuel, transportation of hydrogen to the refueling stations is a major challenge, but with the recent comprehensive research by NREI, transporting energy to the stations is made possible by the mixture of both hydrogen and natural gas in the natural gas pipelines, and this comes with a low mixing rates of 3% to 5%. And due to this mixture, the emission of CO2 is drastically reduced. Furthermore, a case study regarding the transition to 100% renewable energy using hydrogen is considered.…
