Transitional fossil

The documentary film Before the Flood, directed by Fisher Stevens and starring academy award winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio, in short, is about climate change. It dives into deeper topics such as the effects of industrialism on our planet, what our future looks like and what we should be doing to reverse our actions. Leonardo DiCaprio, who besides being an actor is an environmental activist tries to convey the message that climate change is real and that it is destroying our planet. He…

earth .And that for example, is man power and machine powder. Hydrogen is very harmful emission, when it burn it does not emit harmful substances like our fossil fuels. Let's take a look at England and California. with all their smog which destroys our air quality and our lungs. Hydrogen is environmentally safe because it is non toxic. Fossil fuel has cost us our ozone layer but hydrogen will cost us less to generate. A a group of the scientist at the map said, it is a key technology…

part of a company that is always striving to better the world. I believe that renewable energy sources are the future and should start to be heavily implemented more in our modern day society. Tesla’s goal is to transition the world from relying on fossil fuels and move toward a zero emission future. Tesla is changing the way we see these alternatives to make them more desirable over their non renewable counterparts. They are much more than just an electric car company they are venturing out…

In reference to climate change and the ongoing rise in carbon dioxide emission, which in turn is forcing indigenous people near Arctic ice cap regions to move away from their native homelands, Daniel Wildcat’s Red Alert! seeks to offer guidance in combating this environmental problem by suggesting the use of indigenous knowledge and stressing the importance of a change in mindset about humankind’s relationship with the earth. Also tackling the topic of environmental issues, Rachel Carson’s…

next 100 years, rising sea levels caused by climate change will even submerge much of southeast Florida. (Simon Worrall) In a personal interview with the geography teacher from my high school, he is of assertion that the constant burning of diverse fossil fuels is undoubtedly contributing to sea level rise, and will inevitably drive the earth into the apocalypse.…

Climate change and global warming have been a hot topic for some time now. They have taken their place as one of the major political issues. There are so many opinions and articles out there that it can easily become confusing to the casual observer. However, one can understand the concern. If indeed human’s emissions are causing the earth’s ecology to be thrown off balance, something should be done about it. It is easy to just put it off as another generation’s problem but that shouldn’t be the…

Journalist Richard Schiffman is also in favor of a change in out electricity production. In Schiffman’s article, “Why the Shift to Alternate Energies Continues, Despite Shale Boom” he focuses on the benefits that we will begin to see as we switch from fossil fuels to forms of energy such as solar and wind. He believes that no matter the upfront costs, both economically and socially, the benefits will quickly arise and outweigh the costs. These benefits will come from lower electric bills, no…

Global warming is the gradual rise in the temperature of the earth’s surface, oceans and atmosphere. Global warming is caused by the Greenhouse Effect, which humans are responsible for. Due to the burning of fossil fuels, there has been an increase of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gasses in the earth’s atmosphere and because of this the suns heat becomes trapped and cannot escape through the earth’s atmosphere which in turn causes our planet to heat up. Increased rainfall, droughts and floods…

Berylliosis is an occupational lung disease. It occurs in people who work with beryllium (beryllium is an element of the periodic table, is used to make things like airplanes, x-rays or nuclear reactors. It is found in coal in the ground.) And have the same allergic sensitivity. The workers are the most affected of all. It is the staff working in the nuclear sector. This cause is because the people inhale the air so the beryllium goes into the longs and they are affected. There are Pros and…

Combustion of Alkanes What is combustion? Combustion is a chemical process where a fuel reacts with oxygen and releases heat. The fuel can either be a solid, liquid or gas and the oxidizer, the source of oxygen can also be a solid liquid or gas. A new chemical substance is created from the fuel and source of oxygen. These new chemical substances are referred to as exhaust. For combustion to occur, a fuel, oxygen and heat are required. In an alkane, the more carbon atoms that are present, the…
