“global climate change”, less accurately known as “global warming”. The scientific definition of global climate change is the increase in the Earth 's average surface temperature due to greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels or from deforestation, which traps heat that would otherwise escape from the Earth (cotf.edu). There are two reasonable explanations for global climate change, either the human species’ or the environment. The first explanation is that…

In Haiti, the government has not designed nor designated an entity to create a wastewater or public sewage system in their country. It many areas throughout the country, the citizens are forced to bathe in rivers and streams contaminated with human and animal waste. Additionally, many farmers are forced to collect water from common-source areas, which are shared by all of their neighbors. This limits the water that is available for their crops. Lastly, because of the deforested areas, there…

Future cities with an industrial base must efficiently use water. Industrial water use can be reduced through using renewable energy sources. Nuclear and fossil fuels use larger amounts of water, for purposes such as cooling, then renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power (“Water and Energy Efficiency by Sectors” 1). Industrial water consumption can also be reduced through the reuse of water.…

products and large deposits of fossil fuels are also obtained from earth. But these resources are continuously over exploited by human race. This over exploitation has lead to global warming air and water pollution,acid rain, deforestation,extinction of species and globalrise in average sea level. Some or the other way human racethe wish to improve the standard…

billion in 2015 (McLamb). Much of the economic progress that we, as a people have made since those times, such as a higher standard of living, more accessible education, a larger workforce/population, and more can be attributed to the exploitation of fossil fuels and other forms of unsustainable, non-renewable,…

alternatives that could sustain a city like fossil fuels do. There in fact plenty of alternatives to fossil fuels and one that is sweeping the planet is wind power (Small Wind Turbine, Big Difference | EniDay). Fossil fuels are an everyday resource used by people. It powers the trains, planes, and automobiles that help make cities run. Some people argue that cutting out fossil fuels, or even just reducing the amount used, would devastate the economy. Changing from fossil fuels to renewable…

of information and enthusiasm today about the development and increased production of our global energy needs from alternative energy sources. Energy is a necessity for us. Whereas due to certain factors humans have to find out alternative sources. Fossil fuel resource in our world is decreasing exponentially. In addition, there are financial and environmental problems related. We need to develop alternative energy or fuel resources. First of all, finding alternative sources of energy or fuel…

The next major renewable energy in Canada is wind-generated power, which has garnered significant attention since the 21st century, resulting from emerging wind-farming capabilities used to produce electrical energy. The development of wind-generated electricity is becoming increasingly promising as costs of production decline practically every year. Over the last ten years, Canada’s wind power has grown thirty fold; “over 3750 wind turbines generate electricity in 170 wind farms across the…

by trapped heat that in return warm up the Earth’s atmosphere. (1). When the fossil fuels are burned they release pollutants,such as mercury and carbon dioxide, that can not only harm the Earth but people’s health. Mercury, a pollutant fossil fuels give off into the environment, can harm young children’s brains at an early age as well having dangerous outcomes for sick and elderly. The biggest result of burning of fossil fuels are the pollutants that harm the Earth’s environment. Some…

Perhaps one of the most widely debated topics, in recent years, is the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline. The completion of the project has been done in multiple phases and one of the last phases scheduled to be completed is the phase 4 extension. This extension would create a pipeline that would trek, around 2000 miles, from Alberta Canada to the gulf coast of Texas (Friends of the Earth). Since the pipeline would cross international borders, approval from congress would be necessary in…
