Naturally occurring greenhouse gases include water vapor‚ carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ nitrous oxide‚ and ozone. Certain human activities‚ however‚ add to the levels of most of these naturally occurring gases: Carbon dioxide (CO2): released into the atmosphere when solid waste‚ fossil fuels (oil‚ natural gas‚ and coal)‚ and wood or wood products are burned. Methane (CH4): emitted during production and transport of fossil fuels (coal‚ natural gas‚ and oil‚) from the decomposition of organic wastes

but this increase may end up as very tremendous and huge worry to everyone living on the planet. The gases that come out after the combustion of these fuels and also from the chimneys of the factories‚ combine and add up the concentration of the greenhouse gases in

that may result from the greenhouse effect. Thus there is no indication that the warming between “1975-1998” and “1975 to 2009” is unnatural‚ unusual and/or caused by anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. Global Warming may have started in 1975‚ but there is no observable evidence of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emission based global warming began in 1975. Most climate scientists agree the main cause of the current global warming trend is human expansion of the “greenhouse effect” warming that results

“THE GAS MAN COMETH” The documentary‚ “Gas Land”‚ by Josh Fox‚ is a film about the problems with contaminated groundwater due to excessive and unregulated natural gas extraction across the country. In the film‚ Fox travels all over to talk to many people who have rented out their land to natural gas companies‚ only to get contaminated water and no help from any company or organization with the problems that ensue. Fox uses many techniques in his film to get across his point that America should

One atmospheric phenomenon that enables the Earth to sustain life is known as the "greenhouse effect." However‚ vital this effect is for human life‚ it may also be what eventually causes the next ice age‚ bringing all life to an end. About half of all solar radiation reaches the earth’s surface. The other half‚ is either returned back in the form of heat‚ or is used for such things as photosynthesis‚ changed to heat energy‚ then sent back into the atmosphere. Gases such as carbon dioxide hold onto

The CDM aims to control the Green House Gas Emissions (GHG) which pollutes environment. The mechanism was formalized in the Kyoto Protocol‚ an international agreement between more than 170 countries‚ and the market mechanisms were agreed through the subsequent Accords. Carbon credits is a mechanism adopted by national and international governments to mitigate the effects of Green House Gases(GHGs). One Carbon Credit is equal to one ton of Carbon. Greenhouse Gases are capped and markets are used

“The Greenhouse Effect” Introduction: The "greenhouse effect" is widely discussed in the media‚ and although its details are complicated‚ its principles are not difficult to understand. Without a greenhouse effect‚ radiation from the Sun (mostly in the form of visible light) would travel to Earth and be changed into heat‚ only to be lost to space. This scenario can be sketched as follows: Sun’s radiation → absorbed by Earth → Re-radiated to space as heat The greenhouse effect is a process where

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-twentieth century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations"[3][4] via an enhanced greenhouse effect. Natural phenomena such as solar variation combined with volcanoes probably had a small warming effect from pre-industrial times to 1950 and a small cooling effect from 1950 onward.[5][6] These basic conclusions

due to the global warming up the process and its major reason – the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is created by carbon dioxide emissions‚ released from the burning of fossil fuels (coal‚ oil and gas) in rich countries and a constantly increasing number of cars. Humans generate about 24 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide each year. It doesn’t take long to realise that there is no realistic chance of solving the greenhouse problem by planting trees to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
