the environment. According to research conducted by Elgowainy et al. (2009), EV produce almost two times less greenhouse gases (CO2) than the CV. Greenhouse gases are responsible for serious global warming problem (Carayannis, 2011). Therefore, using EV as a substitution of CV can help to solve the alarming global warming issue. In addition to decreasing greenhouse gases, another benefits of using EV is that it may enhance the quality of the air in the area. According to Mike Salisbury (2014), EV experience

inevitable although global efforts to decrease greenhouse gas emissions are being implemented. Hazardous impacts such melting icecaps in the Polar regions, heavy rainfall and disastrous storms, and growing variability of temperature in almost all regions of the world are being felt. In 1992, many countries collectively came up with an international treaty, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), to consider what should be done to regulate average global temperature increases

terminology being used when describing this phenomena? These are just a few questions that will be explored in this report. The term global warming is an attention to temperature increases in the earth’s surface atmosphere. Climate change refers to the long term effects of transformations in the earth’s atmospheric conditions. From these two terms one could derive global climate change defined as the increase in the earth’s surface temperature and the effects of that change within the atmosphere over

Materialistic, pampered, and reluctant to change; ask any conservationist or ecologist the question “How would you describe the modern day American?” and this brash yet surprisingly accurate response is what you would most likely receive.

However, a problem arises

African economies are expected to suffer further drain as global warming continues to rise. Most African economies are heavily dependent on agriculture; reliable for their survival, selling cash crops and food production for their own use. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) reported in 2007 that 14 countries in Africa were already suffering from water scarcity, and it is predicted that 11 more will join them by 2032. If the world’s global temperature continues to raise the world will become
