forcing in order to reduce the effects of global warming (IPCC‚ 2006). Climate change mitigation can be done through several means such as developing alternative energy which includes renewable and nuclear energy‚ decreasing the carbon intensity of fossil fuel through carbon capture and sequestering‚ reforestation and also simply by conserving energy. Based on the cost-benefit analysis of each methods‚ I believe that the effectiveness and practically of each methods can be ranked‚ in decreasing order

Many things these days are taken for granted and used with great liberty‚ but none more prevalent than the consumption of petroleum based fossil fuels worldwide. As stated in The International Energy Outlook 2006 (Energy Information Administration‚ 2006a)‚ "World oil consumption rose by about 1.2 million barrels per day in 2005‚ after an increase of 2.6 million barrels per day in 2004". Current projections indicate increasing demand for oil by the transportation sector‚ where there is currently not

The methods of solar energy using include passive use (solar-thermal conversion) and photoelectric conversion . Solar power is a new kind of renewable energy. In the broadest

The Cumberland News Wind Farms in Cumbria The majority of the world uses non-renewable sources of energy for electricity and this is having a negative impact on the world. Fossil fuels generate most of our electricity but by using them‚ we create greenhouse gases while combusting them. Hence this contributes to global warming and is impacting the rest of the world. If the level of greenhouse gases keep on rising‚ the earth will get warmer; sea levels will rise and droughts will occur throughout

technology has greatly advanced in the last decade‚ most governments of countries around the world still use fossil fuel-based methods of energy production. This can be detrimental to mankind since‚ according to (online) http://library.thinkquest.org/06aug/01335/welcome.htm‚ "The use of these fuels has two major problems; it depletes the natural supply and eventually will run out; and the burning of the fuel (i.e. coal) creates vast pollution in the form of greenhouse gases (GHG’s such as carbon monoxide and
