But this rise could be just a natural fluctuation or it could be from humans pumping fossil fuels into the atmosphere. It can be hard to tell if it is natural or man made‚ but either way‚ in 1995 it was the hottest year on record‚ research shows from the British Meteorological office.

Throughout the entire history of mankind‚ the technological advancements that civilisations have made have always been tied in with the development of energy sources. The first human energy technology was fire‚ along with human labour as the major energy source. This has bee supplemented by animals for agriculture and transportation since at least the dawn of agriculture some 10‚000 years ago. Wind and waterpower for milling grain have also been used nearly as long. The development of the steam

The preservation of the animals habitat needs to have the same value as the extraction of natural resources. Both sides are looking to do the right thing so they must both be willing to listen to each other to formulate a plan. The program needs to take the landscape and wildlife into account‚ as well as the necessities of the natural gas industry. The need to eliminate the human footprint is paramount. The

Fracking is the process of drilling and injecting fluid into the ground at a high pressure in order to fracture shale rocks to release natural gas inside. A well is dug a mile or two into the ground and lined with cement. Each gas well requires an average of 400 tanker trucks to carry water and supplies to and from the site. (2) Each fracking job can take anywhere from one to eight million gallons of water. The water is mixed with sand and chemicals to create fracking fluid. About 40‚000 gallons

India imports three quarters of its annual oil and gas requirements‚ with the Middle East and North Africa regions contributing to a substantial chunk of it. India’s import bills amount to $ 18 billion. Global oil prices have almost doubled in the past one year. The ongoing political unrest in Libya‚ a
