dangerous greenhouse gases that lead to rising ocean currents, ocean acidification, and rising yearly average temperatures. All of these effects are detrimental to the delicate ecosystems and humanity. Natural gas is just as bad as coal when it comes to the production of greenhouse gasses. Natural gas produces less carbon di-oxide, which is better for the environment,…

Rachel Carson in her article “The Obligation to Endure” argues the impact that pesticides/insecticides had upon the environment and the human health risks that were caused because of the harmful pesticides/insecticides. Carson made some interesting points which led me to think about how man is actually destroying the earth, with the help of science because of the harmful chemicals that are being used in pesticides. Society fails to realize that the pesticides being used are actually killing…

Hundreds of ideas have been presented for an undersea tunnel that could possibly run underneath the Atlantic Ocean, where trains would reach speeds of over 5,000 miles per hour and the cities of New York and Paris would connect. The journey between Europe and the United States would take less than an hour. As compared to flight these trains, which would run on a magnetic field along the track inside a vacuum tight tunnel, are supposed to theoretically be faster and use electricity as a fuel…

One critic of this record of neglect insists that the damages to the “environment shaded their benefits. It did…

Coal, an addiction Global warming is no longer a new discovery in the scientific world. People either choose not or choose to believe in it. Countries around the world try to slow down global warming by trying to cut carbon emission. US, the biggest emitter of CO2 into the atmosphere have shown a sign to follow this trend. Many people look at coal, the dirtiest fossil fuel, with doubt about the future. Should coal be banned first to cut carbon emission? Although, some people advocate for…
