Most scientists agree that global temperatures could rise between 1.1 and 6.4°C above 1990 levels by the end of the 21st century‚ depending on future emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). If the rise is high‚ then changes are likely to be so extreme that it will be difficult to cope with them. There are likely to be more intense and frequent extreme

Keeping the type of plant per experiment‚ size of beaker and emission of light constant‚ how does changing the concentration of carbon dioxide affect the rate photosynthesis in plants? Introduction: Photosynthesis is the process through which plants‚ algae‚ and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy from carbon dioxide and water‚ producing glucose and oxygen. This process is extremely vital as it the major source of nutrition for all living things on Earth‚ and fuel organisms’ activities

sustainability at the heart of our business. The last year has been an exciting time for us‚ with the arrival of the first of our new‚ more fuel-efficient aircraft – the Airbus A330s – which will shave up to 15% per seat off our fuel and carbon emissions compared to the aircraft they are replacing. We also don’t forget what happens on the ground and have recently replaced our car and commercial vehicle fleets with more fuel efficient options. Actions like this are vital in helping us make progress
