Topic B: Ocean acidification and coral reefs Introduction • Ocean acidification is a reduction in the pH of the water in the ocean as a result of increased carbon dioxide uptake in the ocean due to humans burning fossil fuels at such a high rate. • Unless drastic changes are made in regards to CO2 emissions, the rate of ocean acidification is projected to significantly increase over the next century. It is currently estimated that without any changes the pH of the oceans will be 7.8 by 2100 (…

The Gore essay talks about Global Warming , and how it has been a growing problem in the world for over 100 years now. Global Warming is described as a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and its oceans. Gore tone in this essay has more passion than in other essays because Global Warming is something that affects the whole exist of Human-kind and the world. In the essay Gore believes that we can solve this Global Warming problem because around the world there…

Crop and livestock production is a major source of two greenhouse gases, methane and nitrous oxide. The latter is produced by the leaching, volatilization and runoff of nitrogen fertilizers and the breakdown of crop residues and animal wastes. Through burning of biomass, agriculture also releases large quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Agriculture also stands to suffer adversely from climatic change. In tropical environments the effects of climate change on agriculture and hence…

Global warming is turning into a huge problem today. Oil spills are happening, more and more pollution is being put into the air and causing problems with the ecosystem. Citizens see that this is evolving more and more each day and the government is just ignoring it for “bigger problems”. The ocean is being polluted and millions of dollars are spent almost every year trying to fix it the problem temporarily. The Democrats would like to fix all these environmental problems but they need to pass…

Let's talk about snow. Most snow as we know it is actually 90% air as it falls from the sky. It's geodesic patterns and elaborate symmetrical designed flakes loose their shape as they come into contact with objects on Earth. When its builds up on these surfaces, the snow compacts itself into granular ice and then into firn as it gets into a dense form. Glacial ice is the most compact form next to ice containing 20% air composition. As we know as Mainer's, accumulation is the amount of measured…

In short, one of Lomborg's boldest claims was that cheap fossil fuels would improve lives. He reasoned that with the use of coal, countries have vanquished the spectre of poverty that haunts many, and that fossil fuels will continue to be an integral part of our daily lives. Upon closer examination of Lomborg's strand of argument, it is revealed that one of its biggest flaws is the blatant omission that several poor countries already have access to cheap fossil fuels through fuel subsidies. In…

The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer 1. Introduction to the international agreement The Montreal Protocol came into effect as a result of the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer. The Convention founded ozone depletion as highly global environmental problem that required international consensus on regulating the use of CFC’s. Two years later, on September 16th 1987, the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was signed by 24…

of animal agriculture and they switch to a plant-based diet, then we could lessen or solve the problems associated with animal agriculture in the Midwest area. Animal agriculture is harmful to the environment in many ways. It creates more greenhouse gas emissions than from all transportation vehicles combined (Cowspiracy). Not only that, but it is also the cause of 90% of the rainforest destruction (Cowspiracy). The space that was once a rainforest is now used as cattle grounds or to grow the…

Chemical reactions Sabatier’s reaction When hydrogen combines with carbon dioxide at around 350 Celsius in the presence of alumina, ruthenium or nickel catalyst, it gives methane and water. CO2 + 4 H2 → CH4 + H2O This reaction can be used to produce water in empyreal. CO2can be extracted from mars and the waste from the industrial torus where there is high levels of CO2 H2 can be obtained from electrolysis The methane can be used as a fuel in industries. GRAVITY Empyreal has a torus…

There are many misconceptions in astronomy. For example, many people (even Harvard graduates) believe that the reason that seasons exist is that the closer Earth is to the sun, the hotter it is, resulting in summer. Likewise, the further away the Earth is from the Sun, the colder it is, resulting in winter. We know that the reason seasons exist is because of the 23.5 degree tilt of the Earth. For instance, when Earth is on the right of the Sun, the tilt causes the northern hemisphere to be in…
