Greenhouse gas

Not only does it increase the temperature of the country, it causes haze which affected vision, health, and death. Half of the fires in Sumatra are occurring on carbon-rich peat lands, contributing to the extremely poor air quality and spewing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere (Minnemeyer, 2015). Some of the fires were also burning inside pulp and paper and oil palm concessions, others are on land controlled by smallholders (bid). According to Rachmat Gobel (n.d) “Our temperature has risen by…

regulated around a case study from Via Afrika Grade 10 geography from pages 106-115. The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth’s surface. When the Sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases. Africa contributes the least to global warming , we are only responsible for 4% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions however we are the continent that suffers most Global warming…

Permafrost Remember Mood Rings? They were rings that change colors depending on your emotions. At least that’s what they wanted us to think. Mood Rings are really thermochroic liquid crystals that color changes based on the temperature of the finger. Something that seems so permanent like the color of a crystal is subject to change just by the mere change of the temperature of its environment. Some environments are also rigid and structured just like the crystals in Mood Rings, but yet, are also…

policy and aspect in climate change, the model mainly focus on global climate change, decision making will base on national and international level, to achieve globally emission reduction needs very limit restrictive reduce in number of green house gas each country can produce, thus it is unlikely that model can be used to help making policies in global where connected to many different countries. Because of these reason, U.S.A Economist Ronald D. Brunner thinks that instead of using integrated…

Veganism is something I find to be overlooked. Vegans, in addition to being vegetarian, do not use other animal products and by-products derived from animal products. People wonder if we would be healthier with a vegan diet, and I’m here to argue yes, not only would we be healthier with a vegan diet, but there comes benefits to going vegan that could help our ecosystem. Although carnists argue against Veganism due to calorie efficiency, it’s actually easily solved with vitamins and minerals.…

I cannot wait to wake up one day with a hot and dry winter. With no fresh morning breeze, instead hot blowing winds. With no living green plants to greet me, instead high grey buildings. With no high pitched birds’ tweeting, instead industrial and traffic noises, (how can I rephrase this?) With no blue infinite skies, instead smoke-filled atmosphere. I just cannot wait… Good morning ladies and gentlemen, I am the environmental ambassador from Sydney, Australia, and I am honoured to be…

industrialization polluting and destroying ecosystems. Carbon dioxide emissions are those stemming from the burning of fossil fuels and the manufacture of cement. They include carbon dioxide produced during consumption of solid, liquid, and gas fuels and gas flaring. Carbon emissions go on without us realizing it. It comes down to the personal choices we make each day that dictates our carbon footprint. Today the average carbon release in industrial countries is 11 tonnes while the world…

While examining the impacts on crops, we will look at the effects of such phenomenon as extreme temperature (which may be hot or cold), increased CO2 concentration and the adverse effects of elevated exposure to ultraviolet rays on processes such as transpiration, photosynthesis and pollination to fully evaluate the effects of the global warming phenomenon. CO2 increase is generally very constructive in the growth of crops. It stimulates their growth and yield by enabling the photosynthesis…

many wonderful luxuries, why are political theorists like Dipesh Chakrabarty pessimistic about the global future? Chakrabarty, in his essay “The Climate of History”, discusses the Good Life, high mass consumption, and its effect on fossil fuel use. Gas is used in every purchase because of shipment and transportation. Most electricity produced is generated by burning coal. With…

The first and foremost thing we can do to help is by reducing our energy demand. This can be anything from not driving as much to not using our heaters or air conditioners as much. For example, our car exhausts release bother aerosols and greenhouse gases: which are water vapor and CO2. These are two things that we do not need more have in our atmosphere. If we can find a way to both drive less and less emissions of these things from our car, then we are one step closer to creating a healthier…
