the dangerous future that 's to come. Through these numbers, McKibben explains that the fossil fuel industry is most to blame for global warming and that if we don 't figure out a way to limit the use of fossil fuels, it will be too late for the future of this planet. Although I agree with McKibben on two points, arguments against global warming tend to be economical and his claim that the fossil fuel industry is most to blame, I can not accept that his pessimism is rooted in a lack of faith in…

as CNG and LNG is an exciting alternative fuel that will enable society to produce a cleaner, safer and inexpensive compared to our established fossil fuels that we use today (liquefied). The uses of these gases we enjoy today has a long history, and extremely perplexing to humankind. There are precautions that must be adhered to concerning storage, use of LPG and CNG. In addition, the risks of using LPG and CNG far out way the benefits of alternative fuel. History acknowledges there was no…

There are many different ways energy is generated in the world today. The energy type that will be most beneficial to reduce the future impact of global warming is renewable energy. Renewable energy is overall better for the environment in the future because it releases virtually no emissions that create greenhouse gases. The EPA states that Renewable energy includes solar, wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal: including “generating renewable energy on-site, purchasing green power through…

Introduction As our environment and economy continues to face many challenges, replacing fossil fuels with alternative energy resources, not only helps to create a cleaner environment, it also helps reduce the bills. However, not everyone is aware of these issues. It’s time we realize that there is only a matter of time before we have globally consumed all available fossil fuels. We have reached a point in time where we must look into alternative resources preferably renewable ones.…

acidification is caused by us. We cause it by what we normally do, breathe. We inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, we can’t stop ourselves from breathing. But, we can do many other things to stop ocean acidification. Other examples are, fossil fuels and factories. Ocean acidification is a big problem not only in America, but all around the world too. We know the cause of this great environmental problem, now, we just have to fix it. Not many people know what ocean acidification is. The rate…

comparable properties to mineral diesel, being easy to produce compared to counterparts and offering smaller emissions footprints. Therefore, the experimental study aims to evaluate the potential and influence of Jatropha oil (JO) as diesel engine fuel. Endurance long term operation tests of 300 hours for JO and 100 hours for DO were conducted on a small single cylinder 6.5 kW diesel engine generator to investigate the durability, performance and emission characteristics of the engine with the…

Climate change is a topic that is not on the top of a lot of people’s mind as they go through their everyday lives. Many people feel like they have more important things to worry about and someone else will take care of the problem. Well, climate change is a problem and just recycling is not going to be enough. Major action of implementing new technologies to reduce climate change needs to take place if people plan on having the world around for future generations. The problem the world is…

therefore they suffer disproportionately from the effects of pollution. Often, it is not only the disproportionate amount of pollution that negatively affects the health of low-income and minority Americans but the combination of that pollution layered on top of existing social disparities, such as access to healthcare. African Americans tend to live closer to…

What steps can we take in our lives to reduce Global Warming in the United States? When the average temperature of our planet gradually increases over time we call this global warming. Global warming is affecting the oceans, land and wildlife. The ocean temperature is increasing causing damage to our coral reefs and melting the polar ice caps at a much faster pace than ever recorded before. It may seem like only larger measures enacted by the government can be taken to prevent global warming,…

help support the evidence of the decaying Earth. The Collapse of Western Civilization essentially talks about the end of the world and how Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Methane (CH4) are being released in to the atmosphere, due to the usage of fossil fuels and planetary waste sinks. This usage and pollution creates such extreme emissions of Carbon Dioxide and Methane that…
