... 2. The three examples of greenhouse gasses are Carbon Dioxide, Methane and Nitrous Oxide. 3. Global Warming refers to increase in average temperatures. Greenhouse gasses have an effect on global warming. Gas such as Carbon dioxide leads to climate change over the years. Greenhouse effect can be split into two different categories. First would be the natural Greenhouse effect. This man made greenhouse works by trapping gasses which produces heat by holding it in a huge glass house. The second type of greenhouse effect id the natural greenhouse effect. Some of the activities of man also produce greenhouse gases. These gases keep increasing in the atmosphere. The balance of the greenhouse gases changes and this has effects on the whole of the planet. Burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Cutting down and burning trees also produces a lot of carbon dioxide. A group of greenhouse gases called the chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) been used in aerosols, such as hairspray cans, fridges and in making foam plastics. They are found in small amounts in the atmosphere. They are dangerous greenhouse gases because small amounts can trap large amounts of heat. Because there are more and more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, more heat is trapped which makes the Earth warmer. This is known as Global Warming. 4. The answer is no we cannot live without greenhouse effect. For example, let’s imagine an extremely...

...Scott Brownrigg Alexis McMillan-Clifton English 101 October 26, 2012 Is Global Warming the result of human behavior? This purpose of this essay is to evaluate the website of the Science and Public Policy Institute, and its credibility on answering the question of the title of this Essay. To be more specific I will be probing into the article entitled “Fallacies about global warming” by John Mclean. I believe that the website of Science and Public Policy Institute uses sound research from highly qualified climate scientists to refute common fallacies in the assumption that global warming is caused by manmade CO2 emissions. The Science and Public Policy Institute define themselves as a lobbying group with a mission to “provide research and educational material dedicated to sound public policy based on sound science” (“About us”). The president, Robert Ferguson brings 26 years of Capitol Hill experience as Chief of Staff of several congressmen (“Robert Ferguson (Science and Public Policy Institute)”). Their Chief policy advisor (specializing in climate issues) is Lord Monckton, Christopher. He served as a special advisor to Margaret Thatcher and established a successful corporation offering consulting and technical advice to corporations and governments (“Christopher Monckton”). Science Advisor William Kininmonth, a consulting climatologist who worked for the Australian Bureau of Meteorology for 38 years as a weather forecaster (“William Kininmonth”)...

...Global Warming. Is it caused by us? “…Climate change is now with us. It will not go away.”(Musil, 17) Many of us have noticed that our Earth is getting warmer. We seem to ignore what is going on and just continue with our everyday life. There is evidence that our climate has been getting warmer ever year. Some scientist believe it is because of green house gases. Green house gases include the carbon dioxide from gases that our industry produces, methane gases that cows put off, and some believe it has nothing to do with things living on Earth. The scientist that believe we have nothing to do with global warming believe that the sun’s temperatures has something to do with it. There are some people who think that global warming is not a major crisis. The fact is that the planet is getting warmer. No scientist dines that fact, but reason why varies. We the people of the United States can also do things to help stop global warming. Global warming is define as “an increase in the earth's average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from the greenhouse effect.”(www.dictionary.reference.com) Over the last century the average temperature on Earth has increased by one degrees Celsius. One degree Celsius may not seem like much, but it is. Earth’s temperature depends on that giant glowing ball in the sky known as the sun. Most energy from the sun is reflected back into space, but some is trapped in by our atmosphere because of...

...In order to stop or I would say slow down the global warming, we should prevent the arctic oscillation first. Mentioned earlier, one of the causes of the Arctic Oscillation is snow and ice melting. Everything is connected: the solution to decelerate the global warming is the same as the answer for Arctic Oscillation. One of the huge factors for all these harming Earth is human industry, which burn fossil fuels and release tons of carbon dioxide. Combining the thoughts from what we have learned so far, reducing greenhouse gas emission is the most do-able action that people can do. Since this greenhouse gas is directly connected to the thinning of the depth of the atmospheric layer in the Arctic, which has a huge impact on Arctic Oscillation, its’ unnecessary outflow should be blocked in order to prevent increment of temperature of Earth. People should contain themselves from burning natural gases for energy, meaning that people should try to save energy as possible averting the extensive problem, the global...

...Petit-Phar English 101 6th June 2013 Pollution is bad for the environment. There are many reasons why pollution is bad for the environment. Before we mention the different reasons, we will take a look at the different types of pollutions. We have to be aware that pollution has many different forms meaning that pollution can negatively affect the environment from many different aspects. Therefore, the best way to prove that pollution is bad for the environment is to go through each form of pollutions and talk about the negative effects on our environment. According to the Wikipedia water pollution is bad for environment because it leads to the decline of freshwater resources, which means that there isn’t enough safe drinking water to support nearby ecosystems. Animals that drink water filled with different chemicals, and other harmful waste experience poisoning and deaths. The water of rivers and seas is being constantly polluted all over the world by various dangerous chemical and biological wastes. This type of pollution can also create a “Dead Zone” where plants and animals cannot live due to severe lack of the air oxygen. Air pollution is also bad for our environment. Why? Many people may ask. To answer this question I have search yahoo and I find out that air pollution does bigger damage to our greenhouse gases, for instance, not only pollute our planet, but also contribute to global warming and climate change...

Howell1 Abstract To assess the effectiveness of climate change communications, it is important to examine their long-term impacts on individuals’ attitudes and behavior. This article offers an example study and a discussion of the challenges of conducting long-term investigations of behavioral change related to climate change communications (a vital and underresearched area). The research reported is a longitudinal panel study of the impacts on UK viewers of the climate change movie The Age of Stupid. The heightened levels of concern, motivation to act, and sense of agency about action that were initially generated by the movie did not measurably persist over the long term. The results also show that behavioral intentions do not necessarily translate into action. Data analysis raised...

...Chapter1 Essay Questions 101. Compare and contrast strategic planning with strategic management. Strategic planning is more often used in the business world, whereas strategic management is often used in academia. Sometimes, strategic management is used to refer to strategy formulation, implementation and evaluation, with strategic planning referring only to strategy formulation. The purpose of strategic management is to exploit and create new and different opportunities for tomorrow; long-range planning, in contrast, tries to optimize for tomorrow the trends of today. Page: 5 102. Which stage in the strategic-management process is most difficult? Explain why. Strategy implementation is the most difficult stage in the strategic-management process because it requires personal discipline, commitment and sacrifice. Successful strategy implementation hinges upon managers’ ability to motivate employees, which is more of an art than a science. Page: 6 103. Explain the relationship between strategic management and competitive advantage for firms. How can a firm achieve sustained competitive advantage? Ans: Strategic management is all about gaining and maintaining competitive advantage. Competitive advantage is anything a firm does especially well compared to rival firms. When a firm can do something that rival firms cannot do, or owns something that rival firms desire, that can represent a competitive advantage. Getting...
