monsoon in Pakistan. However, these disasters are the real consequences of climate change that we are facing. Climate change is the warming of our planet to dangerous temperatures as a result of the accumulation of greenhouse gases such as carbon and methane. However, the warming of our planet does not just mean hot days are hotter. As the earth’s average temperature rises, extreme weather events will become more frequent, allergy seasons will become longer, cities will experience more smog,…

for deforestation in the current world, thousands of acres of forest are cut down daily to create grazing lands for cattle, this lowers the amount plant life to absorb carbon and fix back into organic matter. Cows are also the leading producers of methane, which is a far more destructive than carbon dioxide, and yet Americans are the primary consumers of cattle in the world. The citizens of the United States are not the only ones that are wasteful and produce high amounts of greenhouse gas.…

largest portion of emissions comes from energy production, transportation and industries. Other contributors include agriculture and land use. There are several gases that are considered to be greenhouse gas emissions. They include Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide, and Hydrofluorocarbons are the most common. Carbon Dioxide is considered to be the worst of them. When these gases enter the atmosphere, they act as a barrier that traps radiation under them. The radiation heats the surface of…

As strange as some climate change solutions are, even recycling can save humanity from extinction. Though recycling seems like a common activity among many, the current level of recycling on Earth is not an adequate when considering the true needs of the planet. Because greenhouse gasses and emissions rapidly warm the planet, reclaiming most of the recyclable materials across the globe could lower emissions and slow down or bring climate change to a stage of revitalization. According to…

Recently, temperatures have not been ascending at a normal rate each year; they are escalating aggressively. Numerous analysts, environmental advocates, and scientists are communicating…

Many people around the world are wondering what is happening with the changes in weather patterns. A scientist argues that human activity has affected the climate and this has led to a change. The issue of climate change is causing many counties, companies and people to focus on this issue. There are many reasons why global warming exists. The first has to do with the idea that humans are primarily responsible for global warming. Scientist think that human is the caused of global warming. Human…

Help! Our Planet is in Danger “Beyond Petroleum” was once the slogan of the big oil giant BP, before the company decided to pull the plug on its decades of R&D work on alternative energy. The organization had promised to spend a major portion of its investments on its energy efficiency and renewable energy research programs, but later, the company defaulted much of its capital on various ways to extract fossil fuels. When big oil companies like BP, Exxon Mobil and Chevron put their financial…

One of the greatest challenges of our existence in this planet is global warming. It is even a challenge for some to believe it, going so far as to call it a hoax. The rise of the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere is believed to permanently change our climate. The fact that Antarctic Peninsula being the most rapidly-warming part of the southern hemisphere, about 10 times faster than the rest of the world, impacting on the volume of water in the world’s ocean. It’s time to think of…
