Greenhouse gas

through this article, the first thought that came to mind was the geo-engineering and how the United States has been trying to figure out a way to control the greenhouse gasses as well as global warming. Geo-engineering or climate engineering can be understood as purposely influencing the Earth’s climate to offset the effects from greenhouse gas emissions by focusing on carbon dioxide removal and solar radiation management. The environment can be changed by add or removing of a particular energy…

Factory farming needs to be more closely monitored because it is a leading cause of animal abuse. The definition of animal abuse is:“The intentional infliction by humans of suffering or harm upon any non-human animal, regardless of whether the act is against the law” (UIA). On factory farms, animals are confined to battery cages, gestation crates, farrowing crates, feedlots and veal crates for the majority of their lives. These forms of containment cause severe pain and disease to the animals.…

Food production systems are sets of related activities that generate food products for human utilization, and are characterized by the components of land, work, capital, innovation, and the market and non-advertise establishments overseeing their distribution. The production system is based on ethical framework but now in United States the framework of food production system is unethical. The food production system is morally not correct as there are many defects in the system which are leading…

damage the quality of climate. Most people are not aware that actions contribute to the decay of the Earth through time. Much research has been focused on the effects of global warming, as a direct result of the elevation of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which originally from global industrialization and modernization. Consequently, a lot of evidence from various studies had strongly suggested the significance of global warming with multiple negative effects on…

planet. As we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas for energy or deforestation and farming, carbon accumulates and overloads our atmosphere and expansion of the "greenhouse effect". • What are the effects? As global warming alters weather patterns across the globe, scorching hot summers and extreme, unpredictable weather are expected to become the norm. increasing uncertainty and damaging number one industry, agriculture. A stronger greenhouse effect will warm the oceans and partially…

that forests provide clean air and water, shelter against weather extremes, and habitats for millions of species -not only an industrial and economic benefit for us humans- and that they are our greatest weapon against global climate change. If greenhouse gases are our number one source of climate change, then trees are our number one source for air purification, taking in carbon dioxide only to expel it in the form of fresh, breathable oxygen. Unfortunately, this weapon is quickly being torn…

quantities, greenhouse gases, create climate change. Oxygen is unable to absorb thermal infrared radiation like greenhouse gases are able to, therefore, the deforestation of rainforest trees lessens the amount of carbon stored while simultaneously releasing the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide into the air which according to the 2012 study by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) accounts for 82% of all greenhouse gas. While Carbon’s impact from deforestation is alarming another greenhouse gas…

“Greenhouse gases can warm the planet by absorbing the Sun’s heat, and then remitting it into the atmosphere”(Ricketts, 2011). These greenhouse gases are causing the Arctic ice cap to melt at an increasing rate. Studies are predicting that the arctic could be ice free between the years 2020-2060 because of greenhouse gases (ProCon, 2016). Greenhouse gases isn’t the only cause either. Burning fossil fuels such as coal and oil…

sea levels, increasing temperatures, and melting of ice (Shaftel, 2016). One of the biggest causes has been the increase in the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) being released into the atmosphere and trapping more and more heat (Environmental, 2016g). This leads to the greenhouse effect. Both natural and enhanced greenhouse effects exist. The natural greenhouse effect is made up of natural processes…

of the current consumption habits, as well as implement stricter food serving schedules. The production of livestock requires massive amounts of food, water, and fuel.Through the process of digestion cattle and other ruminants release harmful greenhouse gases such as methane. Methane is considerably worse than carbon, over a 100 year period it is 25 times worse (EPA,2010.) Ruminants require a massive amount of land to produce feed, as well as to graze. This land is usually acquired through…
