Greenhouse

(Grounds) The daily ritual of turning on electricity for many people; releases many greenhouse gases based on the form of electricity used. While small quantities of carbon dioxide do exist naturally in the atmosphere, the generation of electricity has greatly increased the presence of greenhouse gases in the planet’s atmosphere. The overwhelming majority of scientist believe that this contributes to an unnatural degree of global warming…

activities. The production of methane from the hydrogenation of CO2 can indeed substitute natural gas and petroleum oil since it provides an unrestricted and renewable source for fuels, hydrocarbons, and energy as well as the possibility to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Methanol synthesis by this process signifies an alternative form of energy and organic chemical production when fossil fuel sources are scarce. Indeed, Jadhav et al. conclude that the hydrogenation of CO2 is considered the…

All of the processes that fossil fuels go through in their lifetimes, from extraction to transportation to usage, allow some amount of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The cement industry is different in that fossil fuels are not the main source of greenhouse emissions. The burning of fossil fuels to heat the kiln produces forty percent of the total emissions. The greatest amount of emissions is given off as calcination occurs. This process…

Imagine a future where a growing population experiences shortages of food and water as well as growing temperatures. These gradually increasing temperatures bring with them such dire environmental consequences that not only are many different species threatened with extinction, civilization finds itself threatened as well. Though this sounds like the setup for a science fiction movie, this is actually just one of the possibilities for the future due to the long term effects of global warming.…

change is just a political game? No matter what is in store for us in the future, Climate change is real. It could just be a natural cycle that the earth goes through, or it is being amplified by us humans, with our carbon dioxide emissions and other greenhouse gases. The question is, are humans causing the climate to change? Are we the reason for the glacier melting and rising temperatures? As Kevin Trenberth, a National Center for Atmospheric Research scientist said, “There is no doubt that…

The report also outlined the clear correlations between various human activities and the accumulation of greenhouse gasses and subsequent temperature increases. The concentration of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere is directly linked to the average global temperature on Earth, and the most abundant of greenhouse gas, Carbon dioxide, is produced through the burning of fossil fuels, which we have used since the Industrial Revolution to fuel cars and airplanes…

First, greenhouse gas emissions are blamed for heating up the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is the process by which absorption and emission of infrared radiation by gases in a planet's atmosphere warm its lower atmosphere and surface. And the major greenhouse gases are water vapor, which causes about 36–70%; carbon dioxide (CO2), which causes 9–26% of the greenhouse effect; methane (CH4), which causes 4–9%; and ozone (O3), which causes…

average surface temperature due to the effect of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels or deforestation, which trap heat that wouldn’t stay on the Earth otherwise. This is a really big issue for the planet because it’s said that by the time a baby born today is 80 years old, the world will be 6 and a half degrees warmer than it is now. Main causes of climate change (human) People are constantly adding several types of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, and each gas…

recreational water activities, strategic placement of retention ponds, and creating a system for carpooling. By focusing on these four points the property owners will be able to grow their economy, water supply, grow their food supply, and cut down on greenhouse gas emissions. Property owners will need to build more businesses that will attract more tourists. These business may include but are not limited to: restaurants, gift shops, hotels, rental…

miles per year (The Asphalt’s Getting Crowded, January 2015). According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cars cause around 75% of the carbon monoxide in the air, and transportation, in general, emits around 27% of the greenhouse gases in the air. A greenhouse gas is a gas in the atmosphere that causes the heat to be trapped in the ozone layer; trapping the heat can cause global warming. Even if everyone in the world were to stop driving, or drive environmentally friendly vehicles;…
