Climate change is an extraordinarily important problem, and requires immediate and radical government intervention on the sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change’s effects are already being felt around the globe in the form of coral bleaching, erratic and extreme precipitation and weather patterns, rising sea levels, arctic ice melt, and unprecedented record temperatures. If mitigation efforts are not implemented, it will impose epoch-making impacts geographically, environmentally,…

One of the biggest problems in the world is global warming. Global warming occurs when levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increase. It can be dangerous for our environment. Many problems could result from global warming, rising sea level which could result in the flooding of low-lying coastal areas and cities, change in weather patterns can lead to hurricanes, floods and other unusual weather, an effect on animals which can and many more. Global warming is increasing day by day…

Veganism is something I find to be overlooked. Vegans, in addition to being vegetarian, do not use other animal products and by-products derived from animal products. People wonder if we would be healthier with a vegan diet, and I’m here to argue yes, not only would we be healthier with a vegan diet, but there comes benefits to going vegan that could help our ecosystem. Although carnists argue against Veganism due to calorie efficiency, it’s actually easily solved with vitamins and minerals.…

are high. This is because of Le Chatelier’s Principle, which states “if an equilibrium system is subjected to a change, the system will adjust itself to partially oppose the effect of change”. This problem is resolved with the use of a vanadium (v) oxide catalyst, which allows the low temperatures and a faster reaction rate. Water then reacts with sulfur trioxide to create sulfuric acid, however, the reaction is uncontrollable and creates a fog of sulfuric acid. So, the sulfur trioxide is…

class, teachers had just begun to introduce the topic of greenhouse gasses, and according to Dan no one had really believed that subject matter due to the topic being so foreign and new. Greenhouse gases are made up of, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and a few varying gasses. If we can find ways to sustainably reduce or manage greenhouse gases, global temperatures would halt for a while; this is because once greenhouse gasses are put into the atmosphere they never leave, and the…

Wind: An Energy Source Alternative Wind power is a renewable source of energy. Wind turbines convert the wind’s kinetic energy into mechanical or electrical energy that can be used for power. Wind energy is viewed as a clean alternative to fossil fuels and can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Wind energy can provide a lot of benefits to the ecosystem and economy of the United States. While wind energy does have a lot of perks, some people argue that wind energy is an expensive and…

Thermal effect results from the change in the heat capacity of the gases in the combustion chamber. It is worth mentioning that EGR contains water and CO2 which have higher specific heat capacity than air. The change in absorbing heat is proportional to the added mass, to the heat capacity at constant pressure and to the difference in temperature between the EGR and the combustion temperature. ΔQ=Δm*Cp*(Tcom-Tegr) The change in specific heat capacity results from charge dilution and represents…

currently, the total amount of crude oil consumed is 1.4 million tonnes per year, and produces 5 million tonnes of CO2, 40 thousand tonnes of So2 and 50 thousand tonnes of nitrous oxides and other particulates [1] 2 million tonnes of coal produce 6 million tonnes of CO2, 120 thousand tonnes of SO2, 25 thousand tonnes of nitrous oxides, and 300 thousand tonnes of particulates…

The illustration above is a good summary for the people who have knowledge about Chemistry, Biology, and Geology. However, it is challenging to understand for people who do not have knowledge in the fields mentioned above. It is so important to give an interpretation so that those people can understand this report. Photosynthesis: This is the process by which plants create their own nutrient by using sunlight. Sunlight acts as the convertor to transform carbon dioxide (CO2) into organic…

The project has sparked major environmental concerns, particularly in Nebraska, where the pipeline would elapse over an aquifer that provides drinking water and irrigation to much of the Midwest. Keystone XL threatens extensive underground supplies that once contaminated, cannot be cleaned. There’s no place for toxic oil can go “away” to once it enters an aquifer. Sadly, that is just one of the immense environmental threats Keystone Xl poses. Oil extracted from tar sands are thicker, more acidic…
