year 2100.” Majority of the scientists and research organisations‚ including IPCC have reached on consensus that global warming is caused by massive increase of green house gases such as Carbon dioxide (Co2) in atmosphere resulting from burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. The temperature of earth is maintained by the balance between the heat energy coming from the sun and the heat energy returned back to space. Some atmospheric gases: Carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ Methane (CH4)‚ Nitrous Oxide

The 11th hour Story of the film film is preceded by the introduction of the environmental problems that plagued the world today. This introduction is intended to give an overview to the viewers about the negative impacts caused by human activities that are less responsible for the stability of the environment in general. Then proceed with the analytical discussion about things that appear in and around the environmental issue‚ and ended with optimistic statements proposed to raise the confidence

Our fossil fuels are on the brink of extinction‚ making the actions we take now more vital than ever. Creating an implemented plan that changes our current consumption of fossil fuels‚ will perpetuate a cleaner community‚ stabilize eco-systems‚ and provide a future for the generations to come. Harnessing renewable natural resources will allow

It is an amount so large that trees are effectively absorbing the emissions

on the environment. The carbon footprint relates to the amount of greenhouse gases that are produced through burning fossil fuels for electricity‚ heating‚ and transportation. There are two sections to the carbon footprint: primary footprint and secondary footprint. The primary footprint is a measure of the emissions of CO2 that we have control over such as the burning of fossil fuels in furnaces and water heaters‚ and for transportation. The secondary footprint is the measure of indirect emissions

–net carbon emissions equal zero” ‚ is very much achievable‚ but there are huge obstacles that need to be overcome if one is to achieve it‚ as large interests wish to keep us dependent on fossil fuels‚ and important policy makers worry about productivity. Some countries are huge produces or investors in fossil fuel. Larger developed countries who are large polluters are therefore reluctant to change their ways. This is why China and other countries that are still expanding rapidly are building

Food provides energy to keep your body alive and warm. Both sources of energy come from organic compounds‚ such as hydrocarbons‚ sugars‚ and proteins. Green plants‚ algae‚ and plankton trap the Sun’s energy through the process of photosynthesis. After these organisms die‚ they are broken down by natural processes. Their remains accumulate

to being the most significant of the harmful greenhouse gases considered to be the direct cause of climate change. Wuebbles and Jain’s study (2001) illustrates that the increased level of carbon emissions such as carbon dioxide coming from burning fossil fuels such as oil and coal by human activities to power machines and in transport play major role in climate change. However‚ this essay will argue that although carbon emissions resulting from transport is one of the factors that contribute to climate

are causing climate change by burning fossil fuels and cutting down trees. Too bad trees don’t provide us with Wi-Fi or money‚ we’d be planting them like crazy‚ unfortunately‚ however‚ they only provide us with the oxygen that we breathe. There shouldn’t be any debate about whether global warming is real or not‚ we know its real‚ there’s numerous evidence to support that‚ instead it should be what we’re going to do about it. Coal‚ the world’s dirtiest fossil fuel‚ accounts for about 30% of carbon
