warming is the theory that causes an increase in the average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans motivated by the greenhouse effect caused by emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases. Global warming not only affects the temperature‚ but also affects the global rainfall‚ cloud covers and all other elements of the atmospheric system. Burning oil‚ coal and natural gas has caused increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and produces the resulting increase in temperature. This phenomenon

whole issue is capturing of the CO2. After the gas is emitted it should be sequestered. The other thing to do is to reduce human dependence on fossil fuels. This thing can be regarded as a possible solution to global warming. The measures range from simple to the complex. The most widely discussed solutions involve expanded use of alternative energy technologies. These are characterized by a lesser reliance on fossil fuels. (Sisco P.‚ 2006‚ p. 48) Greenhouse gases are emitted into the atmosphere as a

causative factors of Global Warming. The setting up of mills and factories in an unplanned way has a great effect on environment. These mills and factories produce black smoke which gets mixed with air and increases the amount of CO2. Burning of Gas such as Methane (CH4) and fuel also increase CO2 in the environment. Killing animals like birds‚ big cats‚ lions‚ tigers is also a alarming cause of Global Warming. The effects of Global Warming is very dangerous for our existence and survival.

dispel the truths. Because much of the blame lies somewhere between carbon emissions released by personal as well as commercial vehicles‚ and an unhealthy dose of carbon emissions resulting from manufacture processes.. Human activity generates greenhouse gas emissions of around 50‚000 mega-tonnes of CO2e annually. It is estimated that 2‚800 mega-tonnes‚ or 5.5 % of total emissions produced is contributed by logistics activities (Accenture‚ 2009). Until now‚ some of the largest logistics and transportation

of the current global warming is human expansion of the “greenhouse effect”- warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space. Most of the outgoing heat from the Earth is absorbed by all of the greenhouse gas molecules and re-emitted in all directions. This warms the surface of the Earth and the lower atmosphere. One of the gases that cause the greenhouse effect is methane. Methane is a hydrocarbon gas produced through natural sources‚ but it is produced by human

Abstract Eight global crises – human economy‚ climate change‚ exponential human population growth‚ ecological overshoot‚ biotic impoverishment and the reduction of biodiversity‚ renewable resource depletion‚ energy allocation‚ and environmental refugees – affect each other and affect and are affected by the biosphere. Some‚ perhaps all‚ are close to tipping points that‚ if tipped‚ will result in irreversible change. And yet‚ no sense of urgency is apparent. If any one of the eight interactive crises

into why driving is harmful to our environment. Grant Peterson even said‚ “Think of bicycles as rideable art that can just about save the world.” II. 1st Argument a. Riding your bike is pollutant free 1. About half of the greenhouse emissions produced each year are from gas guzzling transportation. Cycling is one way a household can reduce its contribution to pollution. 2. Cars produce an average of 0.3kg of CO2 per km travelled. A

industrial land changes climate. The combustion of fossil fuels is inevitable in industrial production‚ because it provides extreme high temperature and continuous heat. It is the direct contributor to climate changes by emitting large amounts of greenhouse gases‚ such as carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. The concentration of carbon dioxide has increased since industrial revolution. In the past ten years‚ the situation has deteriorated‚ as the increase in the concentration

of these gases‚ amplifying the natural greenhouse effect.. I had learned some basic concepts about global warming when I was in high school: how the greenhouse gas causes global warming‚ what we can do to reduce the greenhouse gas emission and the effects of global warming. I gathered the earth will be in big trouble as we continue to waste the resources in ours planet so we should save the energy to reduce the CO2 emission in order to slow down the greenhouse effect. As an economics student‚ I think
