2011). At the rate of oil being used it is unable to replace itself in the natural process. Not only is there so much oil that can be used, but eliminating oil would have positive impact on our planet. Emissions from our vehicles have caused global warming which in return has decreased the amount of fresh water available for survival. Alternatives for replacing oil also come with a price. For example: take into consideration the Honda Accord hybrid car (one of many hybrids available to the public)

outgoing infrared (thermal) radiation that are part of Earth’s energy balance. Changing the atmospheric abundance or properties of these gases and particles can lead to a warming or cooling of the climate system. Since the start of the industrial era (about 1750), the overall effect of human activities on climate has been a warming influence. The human impact on climate during this era greatly exceeds that due to known changes in natural processes, such as solar changes and volcanic eruptions.” IPCC

Anthropomorphic Climate Change is highly exaggerated, and the effects that we have on weather patterns, is negligible. The carbon-dioxide concentration in Earth's atmosphere, has a concentration of 400 parts-per-million. Carbon Dioxide, in minute numbers, cannot trap much heat at all. Climate change does occur, but naturalistically, and over the course of thousands, if not millions, of years. 50,000 years ago, ice measuring around one mile high covered most of the Northern Hemisphere, before most

ignored. If we do not confess that our planet is our home, we will never be able to take adequately care of it. We have to contribute every day to the preservation of nature and environment. Intro 2: Nowadays, as world develops rapidly more and more global ecological problems occur. It is claimed that, this trend too immense to be reversed by certain countries or residents. In my perspective, such opinion seems rather justifiable due to environmental problems become worldwide and all countries in the

The effects it has on plants can make the plant more stable for farming and have a longer life. With genetic modification, the plant also went from 30% to

stemming from the next stage of global development that will be powered by clean energy many countries have taken up carbon pricing of which carbon tax is one of these. Carbon tax is a tax is an environmental tax that is levied on the amount of carbon that is contained by a certain fuel. Carbon is present in hydrocarbon fuels such as gasoline and other crude oil products and is released as carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a heat trapping gas which facilitates global warming. On the other hand other fuels

documentary movie that teaches us about what are the cause and effects of global warming. A man who is very passionate when it comes to climate change, Al Gore, discusses the present and future effects of global warming that would probably be the key to end our natures’ crisis. I was totally impressed in the film because it gives me a broader knowledge and deeper understanding about global warming. It shows the basic process of global warming where the greenhouse gases traps the sun’s heat in the Earth’s

Writing Draft 2 3/3/2015 Global Warming Today, the degree of temperature is growing higher and higher in the world. The South Pole and North Pole are melting rapidly. "In 50 years, polar bears and penguins will completely extincted" Andrew Derocher who is scientist pointed it out. Also, global warming brings many problem to the earth, such as natural disaters. Scientists estimaed and guessed that the season of Fall and Winter will be disappeared after 40 years. Global warming has become a serious problem

Institutional Causes, Effects and Solutions to the Meat Industry’s Contribution to Global Warming WHO DOES REALLY PAY FOR OUR BURGERS? 1. Introduction ‘All across the world, in every kind of environment and region known to man, increasingly dangerous weather patterns and devastating storms are abruptly putting an end to the long-running debate over whether or not climate change is real. Not only is it real, it's here, and its effects are giving rise to a frighteningly new global phenomenon: the

Hi! My name is (...). Today I will talk about global warming with main focus on the polar ice including the artic animals like the polar bear. So as a start, the global warming is the biggest threat for artic animals like the polar bear. Even though people like those in the Bush administration, refused to accept global warming; many think that the future climate changes can erase all the artic animals, and basically destroy the world as we know it. So, what will happen if we don’t act now? As
