Human Contributions to Global Warming Essay

There are two ways the earth rotates. It rotates around the sun and spins. When the earth orbits around the sun and gives us our year. Seasons are different times in the year when the earth gets hot on one side and cold on the other. I am going to talk about how the seasons are created and why they occur at different times in the year. At different times in the earths orbit it is a different distance away from the sun. When the earth is closest to the sun it is called the perihelion. When…

Is recycling worth while? Recycling can help prevent global warming and save plants and animals. Recycling can make the world a better place. First off there is global warming otherwise speaking the increase of the worlds temperature it was been a problem for many years and stopping it can help protect the future. Recycling can help with stopping global warming because global warming is cause by greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are in pollution and recycling plants produce less pollution…

American citizens vote for a president of America every four years. The citizens may choose if they want to be a Republican or Democrat. After a candidate won the election in November, he/she doesn’t go in until January. Some presidents do a better job at governing than others. President Reagan was elected as the 40th President of the United States in 1981 (“Ronald Reagan”). According to the biography “Ronald Reagan,” he served two terms or eight years as president. Reagan would change the…

mixture of sand and water to aid the drilling process, and they are extremely hazardous to the environment. According to Krisberg, the EPA had trouble referencing many chemicals used during fracking and only a fraction are able to be measured in a human health review. These troubling revelations are one of the reasons that the fracking chemicals are not good for the environment and some type of regulations or bans should be put into place that will deter these chemicals from impacting drinking…

A very large majority of people do not fully understand the scale and diversity of problems that can arise due to Climate Change. Our carbon footprint does not only increase because of the car we drive and where we travel. The food we eat also has a huge impact on our personal carbon footprint. Climate Change does not just threaten the oceans and temperature, but Climate Change could greatly affect everyday foods and beverages, such as, chocolate, maple syrup, peanuts, seafood etc. Recent…

We usually think of volcanoes as just big mountains with lava spewing out of the top damaging everything in their path, but they can have a positive impact as well. How do volcanoes affect people and the environment? Volcanic lava and ash adds nutrients to plants and soil. They also provide great scenery, attracting tourists from all over the world. Volcanoes benefit the environment because after they erupt, the lava dries into rock which eventually breaks down and forms a rich soil. Plants…

This organization seeks to reduce human conflict, illegal trafficking of animals, wild life pet trade, and unsustainable land use. With the help of strategic partnership with local institutions, civil society, and decision makes the USFWS plan to achieve long lasting conservation…

I chose to change the inclination to a 75-degree angle for the third lab assignment. If I were a bird researcher studying a population of birds and the earth began to shift to a 75-degree inclination, the biggest change would be a rise in temperature at the latitude marked with the white “X”. At the original 35-degree inclination, the average temps for early spring are mild and as the months continue into summer; the average daily temperatures do not go above what is described as mild and a…

The process of producing maple syrup from maple trees is actually quite easy. The first thing that we will have to do at the start of production is find a sugar maple tree to tap. When a maple tree is found a hole will be drilled into the tree and then a spile will be put into the hole. A spile is a spout that allows the sap to flow out of the tree and into some sort of container that will hold the sap. A single tap in one of the sugar maple trees will produce about 10 gallons of sap, which…

We recently viewed a documentary in class titled Gasland by Josh Fox. Josh Fox is an environmentalist opposed to hydraulic fracturing in the United States. He has made many other movies/documentaries such as Memorial Day(2008), Gasland Part II(2013) and most recently How to Let Go of the World(2016). I believe that Fox wanted to expose the negative impact that hydraulic fracking has not only on the environment but also on the people. He drove across the country and interviewed different…
