Global warming potential

effect of human activities on climate was debatable but has become controversial in recent times. The substantial influence of degradation of our climate and its onus on government, organizations or on a person has sparked the controversy over the potential impact of this trend. Many audiences conjecture that it is higher authorities concern to improve; on the contrary, some people believe that we all share equal blame in worsening our environment. I tend to believe that we all are equally…

snowfall. Perhaps this was confirmation bias at work. However, I recently asked my father if he had ever told himself or others, “We don’t have winters like we used to.” He humbly replied yes, that he had thought about it. That is an example of global warming. It wasn’t just my confirmation bias at work; it was real. My time on this earth has been far shorter than my father’s, yet one can still observe climate change on this earth over the course of a decade or two, even if the overall results…

be very dangerous. Clean coal technologies are sought out to lessen the environmental impact but, it is harming it. More and more carbon dioxide is being added to the atmosphere. This increase in carbon dioxide directly effects global warming. This could have the potential to kill several people by the thousands, who can encounter possible heart attacks and asthma attacks. Several people believe in the idea that coal production increases job opportunities. This is one of the popular myths…

Was the Kyoto Protocol successful? 1-Introduction The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement whose purpose is to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases in an effort to attenuate global warming. The treaty extends the 1992 United Nation Framework Convention On Climate Change (UNFCC). The protocol was adopted in 1992 but only came into place in February 2005. It was designed as a response to the continuous growing international concerns regarding human activities interference with…

Due to its agro-ecological diversity, Cameroon has great potentials for agricultural production. Until the late 80s, Cameroon was considered self-sufficient in agricultural production and played a role of food garret for its neighbouring countries, thus referred to as “Africa in miniature”. Since early 90s, Cameroon…

Climate Change has the potential to be a cataclysm of massive proportions that causes severe and lasting damage to much of the Earth. Other boogeymen have existed for humankind. But none of them are quite like climate change. This future is guaranteed if humans do not make a massive change in their behavior. Klein is attempting to bring light to this issue. Additionally, she wants more people to know this problem is urgent The planet is warming at an alarming rate due to human actions.…

Over the past century, our global temperature is increasing at an astonishing rate. Resources, such as lumber, and fossil fuels are overly exploited for industrial expansion, by which enlarge the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gas, which can intensify the greenhouse effect. Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide and other Greenhouse gases can trap infrared radiation emitted from our Sun and store it in our atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are not all bad, in fact it 's essential for us to…

‘Snowpacks’ are created when layers of snow collect in certain regions. These snowpacks are vital to the water cycle because when the snow melts, they provide a central source of water for streams and rivers. Furthermore, this water could have many potential uses. For example, this water could be use to enhance energy, agriculture, water supply, and be used for recreational use. Mountain snow plays an immense role in the movement, distribution, and quality of water that is utilized by citizens.…

As climate change becomes an increasingly pressing issue, humanity is finding new ways to combat this problem. Geoengineering is growing in popularity as a solution to slowing and preventing future global warming. By manipulating the existing processes in the environment, geoengineering. In the case of iron fertilisation, large quantities of iron are deposited in oceans in order to stimulate a bloom in phytoplankton populations; for photosynthesis to occur, iron is needed. An increase in…

responsible for climate change. Is anthropogenic influence really the beginning of climate change? In this essay, the debates between whether the human beings give rise to global climate change or not mainly focus on three factors: temperature, sea level and ocean acidity. From my survey, nearly 85 percent of people think that…
