Environmental degradation that occurs through pollution other than greenhouse gas emissions is perhaps the most readily noticeable—and the most easily remedied—impact on people around the world. Whether it’s runoff from a chemical factory polluting a river (and thus, a community’s water supply), plastics washing out to sea and killing aquatic life, airborne particulate matter spewed by oil refineries causing illness in nearby populations, or one firm’s emissions affecting another firm’s ability…

The climate that we know today has very little in common with the climate of a hundred years ago, a thousand years ago, or even hundreds of thousands of years ago. Climate change can easily be defined as the change in climate patterns on a global or regional level. Some definitions put more emphasis on the recent human actions that have given rise to global changes such as weather and temperature, and what we know as global warming. But the earth has been around for quite some time, and has gone…

Part of that change would be to use clean energy opposed to fossil fuels. Fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas provide around 80% of the world’s energy. Clean energy is geothermal, hydropower, nuclear, solar and wind. According to Hansen, “We can’t burn all these fossil fuels. There is no recognition of this in government policies.” This group of minds have…

quarter of the emissions reductions we need to keep on track for a two-degree world. Another solution of global warming is carbon fee and dividend. carbon tax is very effective solution of climate change. Carbon fees and dividend decreases greenhouse gas emissions by 52% lower. Raising temperature causes considerable threats to human health, the natural environment, the economy, national security, and an undesirable risk of shattering effects to human civilization. Carbon taxes on greenhouse…

electricity costs. But there is a downside to solar, from the article ‘Solar Energy Pros and Cons – Energy Informative’ states “Some manufacturing processes are associated with greenhouse gas emissions” (Maehlum 6). The making of solar panels produces Nitrogen Trifluoride and Sulfur Hexafluoride, a much more potent greenhouse gas than Carbon Dioxide. Solar panels overall are a much better energy source than coal power. Another great renewable energy source is wind power. Wind power works as air…

up the whole place. The gasses mainly responsible for this include CO2( the main one), water vapor, methane and nitrous oxide. The gasses are natural, but too much of one thing is never a good thing. After the industrial revolution, carbon dioxide gas gone insane, so much of it is omitted into the atmosphere. According to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA), the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased by 100% in comparison to the last ice age. Furthermore,…

After this our staple crops will not grow. Ironically I have just received a letter from the UN stating we have reached an all-time high of a one and a half degree Celsius raise. The main reason is from our heightened increase in greenhouse gases. (A gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect by absorbing infrared radiation, e.g., carbon dioxide and chlorofluorocarbons.-Google) Before I continue, I will first take you for a walk through time, this will give bases for my proposal action…

looking at studies from environmental researchers we have found that: “According to a 2006 report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), animal agriculture is responsible for 18 percent of all human-induced greenhouse gas emissions, including 37 percent of methane emissions and 65 percent of nitrous oxide emissions. The methane releases from billions of imprisoned animals on factory farms are 70 times more damaging per ton to the earth’s atmosphere than CO2.”…

Climate change is a vast and complex subject and could have many different routes of discussions, and topics. However, I would like to elaborate more on how to reduce the enormity of the changing climate. How people could make an informed discussion on the factors that are weakening the climate; and find ways to adapt using less, and becoming more resourceful. Climate change is an area that many people continue to overlook because, they are not being generally effected, however, changes in the…

largest and most innovative oil and gas company that will be around longer than Total, Exxon, Chevron, & BP. The company operates thousands of gas stations across the United States and recently started to research more about alternative energy. Phil Anderson informed us that Shell is very competitive and always has to “reshape the portfolio and back away from heavy Alaskan oil” and move toward integrated gas like British Gas. Shell recently merged with British Gas and Phil Anderson believes that…
