According to Burroughs tropical deforestation increased from 11.8 million per year in the 1970’s to 15.4 million in 1980s (pg. 98). Deforestation and forest degradation is a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. Forests have a vital role to play in the fight against global warming. Forests and it soil can help absorb and store carbon dioxide and harmful gasses, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and release oxygen (Schimel p.135), but if forests are…

between Sudan and South Sudan, when Sudan tried to occupy the oil center of Heglig. It was the reason for a naval clash between China and Philippine, for an island with a natural deposit of oil and natural gas. Energy caused an issue between Egypt and Israel, when Egypt cutted off the natural gas supply from Israel. And, it was responsible for the mobilization for war of the USA upon Iran to take their oil reserves.…

Air pollution is an ever growing plague upon the world. Every day, hundreds of millions of factories continue burning fossil fuels and natural gas, causing this epidemic to only increase as the years go on. Air pollution is a contamination of the air we breathe. Every day, hundreds of millions of factories continue to burn fossil fuels, natural gases, and coal. In turn, these toxic pollutants cause this epidemic to only increase as the years go on. Emissions from factories are a major culprit of…

Current Knowledge on the Problem Nowadays, people use fuel as a source of energy which helps them improve their economic well-being and living status. However, its usage has come with a cost because its burning and continued popularity is a major factor contributing to global warming (IPPC). It also has a negative impact on the economy. In its composition, only 565 gigatons out of 2765 of carbon dioxide contained in the fossils is burnt before its negative effects on the globe turn irreversible…

Hassaan Haque Mrs.Bezemek Apps of Comp 20 November2014 Climate Change Climate change is a major problem that is affecting the world we live in today. It is causing animals to become extinct, glaciers to melt, abnormal seasonal changes, and more. One factor that plays into climate change is greenhouse gases. The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. The role of greenhouse gasses is to keep the earth from becoming too cold for life. Greenhouse gases, which keep…

a major contender compared to all the other greenhouse gases, its presence still makes a difference. “Carbon monoxide readily reacts with the hydroxyl radical (OH) forming a much stronger, greenhouse gas--carbon dioxide. This, in turn, increases concentrations of methane, another strong greenhouse gas, because the most common way methane is removed from the atmosphere is when it reacts with OH” (ESSEA, 2010). A major contributor to this environmental detriment is our use of transportation. There…

Change is one of the most feared and revered words in the English vocabulary. There are many people who embrace the alteration of their lifestyle in an effort to improve their economic or physical situation. Nevertheless, large portions of the population oppose change because of the fear of the unknown. The modification of one’s lifestyle can yield positive results by presenting new and exciting alternatives to what one is accustomed to but it can also have negative consequences. The citizens of…

Introduction According to a study issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the United States generates approximately 251 million tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) a year. Out of the 251 million tons of MSW, 34.5% was recycled and composted. That is equivalent to the average American recycling and composting 1.51 pounds of their daily 4.38 pounds of MSW [1]. Of the 34.5% of MSW that is recycled, which equates to 86 million tons, 65 million tons of MSW was recycled, and 21…

Recently all over the world people everywhere have been taking notice to the topic of Global Warming. As defined in Webster’s Dictionary Global warming is “A gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth 's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants”. The main causes of global warming are the air pollution (which humans account for),The clear cutting of forest or deforestation(which…

In recent years, as technology advances faster than ever, there has also been a huge surge in the awareness of global warming and greenhouse gas emissions. In the article, The Fast-Approaching ‘Point of No Return’ for Climate Change by Karin Kamp and John Light, top climate scientists warns the international policymakers about the current and potential permanent damages to our environment, sets a target level for lessening harmful greenhouse gases, and urges policymakers to push for new policies…
