“Considering the fact that over half the nation is currently experiencing water droughts, the concept of using massive amounts of water to probe underground for oil and gas that may not even be available has given pause to many environmental observers” ("List Of Pros And Cons Of Fracking”). Fracking methods use a considerably larger amount of water, as it depends on the resource of water to continue this method of oil…

Earth has experienced variations in climate throughout history. Several cycles of glacial advance and retreat (specifically the Permian, Carboniferous, Cambrian and Pre-cambrian glaciations) demonstrate natural climate fluctuation. These fluctuations can be attributed to deviations in the Earth 's orbit; the amount of solar energy received by Earth differing as a result of this. Current temperature trends display an aberrant rate of increase in global lower-atmospheric temperatures. This…

Climate change is having a positive impact towards architectural designs because it is revolutionizing house building by developing Green Homes. Farah Ahmad, a fifth-year architecture student at New York City College suggests that “Environmental Impacts: The natural environment is positively impacted. Using renewable and clean energy sources lessens our reliance on fossil fuels and other depleting sources. The construction process of a traditional home alone emits much construction waste”…

liquid portion of petroleum is called crude oil or simply oil. This oil is used to make gasoline and diesel chemical compounds. The gasoline is used to fuel light vehicles while diesel fuels heavy duty ones. The gaseous portion is called natural gas. Natural gas is used to heat houses and fuel certain devices like dryers and certain stoves/ovens. Petroleum is gathered from spongy porous rock in the earth 's crust. Techniques to access petroleum are drilling and hydraulic fracturing. Drilling is…

There are many pros and cons of alternative energy and fossil fuels. There are many more pros of alternative energy. Pros of renewable energy is, it is available all over the world because there is sun and wind. There is no chance of renewable energy becoming depleted in the future. Renewable energy can boost economic growth and increase job opportunities ("Renewable Green Energy"). There are many pros of renewable energy but there are always cons too. There are also cons of renewable energy…

Are human impacting weather? With the help of manly meteorologist and other scientist we can find the answer. What is meteorology? Meteorology is the study of the past, present, and future atmosphere. Meteorologists do anything from forecasting the weather to being climatologists. Weather can be predicted by many factors, like temperature, air saturation, orography, and the environment. The environment is a big factor. Silent Spring, a book written by Rachel Carson, explains the effects of…

Ban Ki-moon once said, “The clear and present danger of climate change means we cannot burn our way to prosperity. We already rely too heavily on fossil fuels. We need to find a new, sustainable path to the future we want. We need a clean industrial revolution” For as long as I can remember I loved the idea of living in the city, till this day if my family and I don 't travel to New york City at least once for the holidays it won’t really feel like Christmas at all. They say New York on…

As it pertains to the more integral elements of nature, animals take a significant role in the balance of the ecosystem. Loggers need to understand that endangering animals and their habitats does not bode well for the loggers themselves. Destroying habitats means destroying animals, and destroying animals precipitates the inability to reproduce quickly enough to maintain a biodiverse equilibrium. This leads to a disruption within the ecosystem that can provoke wild consequences like stalling…

the population increases and in turn the demand for meat will also increase. It is scientifically proven that vegetarians produce substantially small carbon-footprints. In a report published by the Climatic Change, researchers compared the greenhouse gas emissions of 55,000 people and found that the meat-eaters dietary emissions were twice the amount of vegetarians (Scarborough 184). So by increasing vegetarian’s diets and decreasing diets that include meat, the emissions of methane as well as…

can decrease global warming. The first sign was found during sunset, discharging volcanic gasses out of carbon dioxide sculpture. Increasing Carbon dioxide can prevent by maintaining forests, plant trees and preserve the rain forests and capture the gas before reaching the atmosphere and store it in underground cavities. As we known Carbon dioxide is the main cause of change in temperatures, using cycle, waking and hybrid cars. Also, green electricity in future of energy, renewable sources such…
