Global warming potential

in the recent warming period. Since the industrial revolution, scientists have discovered “that production of electricity using coal and petroleum, and other uses of fossil fuels in transportation and industry, affects our environment in ways we did not understand before.” The dramatic increase of carbon dioxide and methane, gasses that absorb heat, in the atmosphere has a direct correlation to the rise in temperatures, making it more obvious that humans are contributing to global…

I chose the documentary The Endurance: Shackleton’s Legendary Antarctic Expedition for my documentary analysis and I’m connecting it to the book written by Alfred Lansing, The Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage. The documentary similar to the book follows Ernest Shackleton’s expedition, but where the book was meant to be a more objective and true to the events that the crew went through, but the film lists the events and adds emotions to the events that happen to the crew. The Documentary…

The Negative Consequences of Burning Fossil Fuels by Samantha Talladira, Earth Science - 4th Period We burn fossil fuels to run your cars or to help with keeping the power and or heat in your house on.

The entire world runs off of something as simple as fossil fuels to keep it functioning. There are three…

With the advancement of modern medicine following the second world war came an exponential increase in the world’s population. With this staggering growth came an accelerated use of resources, which are not being replaced. This has led to the rise of environmentalism, a movement based on using less, in an effort to better protect the earth. James Hamblin, a senior editor and journalist for the Atlantic, is a proponent of this movement. In his article, “Living Simply in a Dumpster,” Hamblin…

The specific topic of Asadorian’s article entitled “The Rise and Fall of Consumer Culture” argues that consumerism has been embedded in our culture, to such an extent that we view it as a “natural” way of life. The purpose of this article seems to be that humans need to realize that our culture of consumerism has everything to do with our treatment of the environment, and it tries to explain exactly in what ways institutions, media, and the government have contributed to this unsustainable state…

inequalities. The influence between climate change and inequalities need to be concerned to find the link of climate change and human rights. Climate change is a global phenomenon with impacts spread across the world, however, less developed countries are more likely to have a severe impact than that of developed countries (The Global Climate Risk Index 2018). Especially those in the region near the equator, such as Central America, the Caribbean, South America, East Africa, West Africa and…

There are many negative consequences of globalization, so I find it difficult to focus on just one. In my opinion, they are equally important. Deforestation, terrorism, the spread of infectious diseases, the slave trade, and inequality are all a result of globalization. Although, these are all topics that are of deep concern, I chose to focus on the power behind it all. An increase in power for one of the largest and wealthiest nations on earth, the United States of America, has caused an…

Having strong sense of seasons can be a good solution to environmental…
