Global Warming The two terms that find mention in almost all editions of the daily newspaper and magazines are Global warming and Greenhouse effect. Our acquaintance with these words is a long lasting one. Right from the very first Environmental Science book in the primary classes on the perplexing topics of research, Global Warming has indeed become a day to day word rather than being an environmental science jargon. Ever since our first environmental science class, we have been told that the…

learned about fossil fuels, greenhouse gases such as, carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor and nitrous oxide and more. We can confirm that with the burning of fossil fuel, humans increase the levels of greenhouse gases causing the earth and its atmosphere to heat up. Results of global warming and climate change can show that weather pattern are effected. We humans are creating a domino effect, starting with unnatural chemicals, fossil fuels, greenhouse gases, and weather change. Who knows where…

In Tatiana Schlossberg’s article, “Climate Change Will Bring Wetter Storms in U.S., Study Says” Schlossberg discusses the effects of climate change. Researchers have suggested that climate change can result “in an increase in big storms that cause flash floods and landslides.” New research has shown that there is some variation between regions. The Northeast and the Gulf Coast are at a big risk because the storms have the potential to increase by 70 percent. These storms can become as…

These families, shown and labeled in figure 2, include alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, non-metals, metalloids, halogen gases, noble gases, lanthanides (or rare earth metals), and actinides (or rare earth metals). The first family includes group 1 on the periodic table. These metals are extremely reactive as they have 1 electron in their outer orbits. Hydrogen is included in this…

the world ..Global warming is a serious issue, which is caused by various human activities and other numerous reasons. Firstly, it took more than 20 years to broadly accept that mankind is causing global warming with the emission of greenhouse gases (“The Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Effect”, 2015). Greenhouse…

pollution is still a key environmental issue. New York has 5 major air pollutants which are fine particulate matter (small airborne chemicals), nitrogen oxides (gases produced by fuel), elemental carbon (fossil fuels and diesel gases), sulphur dioxide (power plants and industrial gases) and ozone (vehicle and natural gases). All these gases affect people by causing lung and heart damage and also high levels of Asthma. This lead to the death of 10,000 people. The short-term standard of air…

grandchildren are going to live”’, says Tim Barnett of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (Achenback and Heidi 2). Greenhouse gases driven temperature rise would result in an increase in evaporation of methane, another greenhouse gas, which is dissolved in lakes, and otherwise emitted at a slower rate (“Human and Natural”). The methane gas, like any other greenhouse gases would accumulate in the earth’s atmosphere, and trap the sunlight, thereby aggravating global…

temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere. This gradual increase in temperature is caused mostly by greenhouse gases in Earth’s atmosphere which include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, water vapor, and ozone. Normally, these gases are essential in the process of the greenhouse effect which is supposed to keep the Earth from being too hot or cold. Unfortunately, the amount of these gases in the atmosphere has increased due to human activity and this in turn is causing the planet to become…

The stench, the horrendous sight, and the wretched feeling that landfills give off to their viewers. What kind of world do individuals want to live in where their air is filled with smog, and their water is brown with lead poising. While extremes are not always the case, they could become common if the waste in which the world throws away is not reduce. Recycling, the solution to the waste dilemma, provides a plausible reality in which individuals can contribute to reusing materials in hopes…
