mega-activities whereby their main source of energy is the fossil fuels‚ the main emitters of the greenhouse gases (GHGs)‚ such as the carbon dioxide (CO2). These gases are the main cause of global warming. Through statistics‚ it is shown that the large-scale CO2 emissions to the atmosphere are worsening day by day‚ so putting the earth on the verge of a massive global climate change chiefly portrayed by the global warming. Though fossil fuels are the major sources of CO2‚ they account for large part

(8%) used mainly in developing countries‚ nuclear (6%) large hydropower (2%) which are a renewable source of energy‚ and new renewable (3%) which includes modern biomass‚ solar‚ wind‚ small hydro and marine energy. Large hydropower and new renewable together are referred to as modern renewable. The 20th century marked the emergence of fossil fuels which

Length Color Rating Biofuel vs. Conventional Fuel - ... Mainly‚ biofuel contains hydrogen and methane which are particularly derived from the microbial material. And these are recyclable whereas the petro fuels are not recyclable. In addition‚ the amount of emission of carbon dioxide from biofuel is much more less than from petro fuels. Surely‚ the power density and lifetime of biofuel must be improved to compete with the conventional fuels but biofuel certainly has several advantages as well

The answer is: Because of economics‚ convenience‚ ignorance‚ and affluence‚ with economics playing the major role. For example‚ thermal power plants are still a more economical source for electrical energy compared to solar energy. However‚ the depletion of raw materials and the cost of controlling pollution and by-products are resulting in a steady increase in the cost of electricity produced by thermal power plants. This‚ in combination with the improved efficiency of solar cells‚ is making solar

large deposits of natural gas‚ there will be less usage of fossil fuels. With the fossil fuels being used over a greater period of time‚ research can be done to discover cleaner alternative energy sources. While natural gas is still detrimental to the environment‚ it does cause less carbon dioxide emissions than fossil fuels‚ so this is a common argument for fracking. While this argument makes sense if you are comparing gas to fossil fuels‚ it still pollutes the environment more than energy sources

People have used more than 90% of fuels‚ such as oil‚ coal and natural gas to produce electricity. These things are non-renewable. The more we use these fuel it will decreases everyday. So we have to find another way to save it by using renewable energy‚ which is a new way to produce electricity and also reducing global warming

Climate Change‚ Capitalism‚ and Social Justice California used to be a paradise‚ lush green lawns freshly cut‚ creeks gurgling with water‚ and mountains covered in golden fields. What happened? The lawns are all shriveled up‚ dry rocks are left where there used to be water‚ and black blotches on hills are left behind from wildfires. Scientists state that this is a result of climate change‚ also known as global warming. When warm temperatures affect the weather patterns of the Earth‚ the effects are
