Currently, earth is the only planet possessing the capability to conceive and sustain life. Through out the planets 1.4 billion years of history, there have been ice ages and warm periods. Currently, the Earth is experiencing an accelerated increase in surface temperatures through out the beginning of a warm period in recorded history. It is clear from scientific data that the reason for the rise in temperature is due to the surge of greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere. Since the…
Climate change is perhaps one of the biggest concerns of our generation. Without action, the changing climate on earth could turn the world as we know it upside down. Climate change refers to a difference in the average weather patterns either regionally or globally over a specific period of time. There is not much refute that Earth’s climate is growing warmer. However, there is great controversy over the cause of climate change. Are the changes in temperature just a natural swing or does…
The Horrible effects of Global Warming There is a reason that the polar ice caps are melting and what hurricanes are worse than they were about 20 years ago. Global warming was once thought to be a myth, but after of scientific evidence it has been proven that is real. Now the main point is to prove what global warming does not what it is. A dramatic rise in the earth’s atmospheric temperature linked to green house gasses and other related phenomena are responsible for the extinction of many…
(GHG) “The atmospheric concentrations of some greenhouse gases are being affected directly by human activities namely carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, chlorofluorocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons. Water vapour is also a major greenhouse gas, but its concentration in the atmosphere is not influenced directly by human activities.” (Climate Change in Australia, 2015). The future human civilisation will be threatened by rising atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide…
Since the creation of electricity, people have searched for the most efficient source of energy. There are many common sources of energy, and they all have their own flaws. Many of the common energy sources are nonrenewable resources; therefore, they are not a logical source of energy for the future. Some of the energy creating processes can be very dangerous to humans and the environment. Many of these sources are not economical either. To be considered efficient, an energy source must be…
Global warming has always been a thought in the back of scientist heads and they knew that it could eventually happen because of the heating of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, but in the early 1990’s, scientists had discovered that global warming was quickly becoming an issue on Earth and according to many researches, 97% of those scientist say that humans are the reason for it. According to the PBS documentary, “the climate has gone up 4-5 degrees in just the last fifty years in Alaska,…
Society ignoring the problems they create is a common problem on Earth. Whether it be knowingly ignorant or they are unaware of the problem, societies often ignore the unpleasant and focus on the beautiful. At the Paris Climate Change Conference of 2015, large countries ignored the massive problems of death, sinking, and disease on the Pacific Islands caused by their emissions. Meanwhile, in Never Let Me Go society ignores the horrible conditions they let the clones live in. The novel’s…
Now in 2016 we use more fuel than ever with over 1.2 billion vehicles on the road burning up our gas. The cars, while they do use the most fuel out of everything else there are other things that use fuel. Fossil Fuels also power our home, indirectly; generators burn these fuels to create electricity. With the world starting to use more and more electricity…
The global carbon footprint made from food waste has reached the double total amount of greenhouse gas emissions from transportation. In a recent research, In the European Union, they wasted approximately 90 million tons of food every year. If we do not take any action to suppress such a situation, the figure of food waste might attain to 126 million…
What is global warning? Our world faces an everlasting dangerous threat…… global warming. This is caused by the increase of the earth’s atmosphere temperature and by the moving levels of carbon dioxide. We know this because in the last 650,000 years the polar ice caps have gradually been reduced to water. The Polar ice caps melting. Other things have also been caused by this problem such as the ocean rising, heat rising, droughts, floods, storms and many more that will occur in the following…
